You kinda did there buddy :slight_smile: . Your contribution to the thread is calling out his bad english pretending you don’t understand what he meant.

I truly didn’t understand what was written there.

I think it’s a nice idea to have rewards for being on the top tier of each spec. Would make a lot of underdogs a lot more played.
Having diferent mmr’s for each spec would allow people to risk more stuff on arena, and that would be nice :slight_smile:

Yeah i need this. Im playing healers and only irl friend playing wow is healer. So i would like to play dps with him and healer in lfg.

While there’s an upside, there’s also a couple of downsides:

  1. The grind becomes up to tripled, for rating. One thing is painfully obvious in rated PvP games, and that’s that people identify themselves by their rating, either earned in the past or earned now.
    So to create 3 different grinds would have adverse effects on those playing different things, for example those who played up to 2k as one spec and feeling good about themselves, but then there’s a nerf or whatever and they have to play a different spec and all of a sudden they have to start from 0 again as a different spec, not even being able to sign for the “2k cr” teams.
    For some it would be a good change, for those others it’d be a bad change. It varies.
  2. You’d make “smurfing” into even more of a thing, since a 3k rdruid for example would definitely be able to play as a boomie better than most boomies. So on and so forth.

There’s also rating decay to consider, for those really high, would they be able to sit rating they earned that one week their spec was broken OP like rogues at the start of the season, and be able to sit their rating without playing a single game more as that spec, while playing their new spec that’s more balanced while avoiding rating decay for their spec that’s now nerfed to crap?

If you force them to play their nerfed-to-crap spec to avoid the rating decay as that spec, then what about those who would be able to keep that rating as the new balanced spec, but got it from the broken spec in the first place? They’d be punished for it.

If you just want to be able to test different stuff, then Suggestion to improve the group finder for rated PvP would work better for that, with more positive ripple effects for other things as well.

Caring about grammatical errors in a game forum, cringe.

Very good points.

Yeah exactly imo for pure dps specs its bad but for healers is nice to have chance to play dps sometimes and not mess your rating.

Smurfing is ez now not gonna change much.

I understand what you are saying. For people who have a fixed partner and they decide to re-spec, the current partner would risk losing a lot of cr every match, for no profit at all. But honestly think that it’s a risk worth taking, making the game more “legion like” where you need to level specs. Honestly, what the game really lacks atm are grinds, sorry internet influencers.

I agree as well, but don’t see it as a problem. The same way a gladiator re-rolls a character, he will slam people hard, but will climb up the rankings quite fast, making it a matter of games. MMR is nice because of it.

I see it as a win, making people able to risk playing, not worrying about losing their ranks

^ Would work better for that purpose.

You call that grammatical error? Oh my.

31

Point still stands? Caring about someone’s spelling or grammar on here is “sad”.

32

Sadly your topic is closed, but it’s a really nice idea. Don’t think it overwrites the idea of this thread, that has the main goal of people pushing non-meta specs.

33

I don’t care about he’s grammar, take a closer look.

34

His grammar

Personally i didnt have any problems understanding the point he was trying to get across.

https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/global-english-education/countries-in-which-english-is-mandatory-or-optional-subject.html is a map covering the countries in detail where English is taught either as a mandatory school subject, or optional (as the article states, it’s often picked to fulfill the “foreign language” requirement in the curriculums where it’s optional).

Then there’s a difference from company to company, where some companies requires you to know it for the sake of international trade as the position you’re employed for, and other companies/roles that doesn’t emphasize it as much.

There’s also “pop culture” where you’re exposed to English in entertainment, via songs, pirated streams/downloads of shows/movies (don’t pretend like it isn’t a thing for gamers to do that), as well as the amount of games without a translation to many people’s own language so they default to English either way.

Then there’s a difference between people in countries as well, there’s veeeery few countries in the world where there’s not a single native person who’s fluent in English. The difference instead tends to lie in how many of each country’s population is fluent in English.

So on and so forth. It’s more of an individual thing whether one is bad at English or not, instead of it being because of the country. Country plays an influential role, but it doesn’t stop you from learning it.

People really need to get over this whole “it’s not my first language” excuse. It’s up to the individual. There’s only 1 place in Europe where they speak English as their first language, and that’s the UK. The vast majority of the people on this very forum don’t speak English as their first language.

I don’t care about the way the OP wrote it, it’s just annoying when people try to use that excuse though.
