How does the renown catchup work?

im stuck at 30 for 2 days now. callings dont give renown, raid dont give renown, pvp does not give renown, dungeons dont give renown… blizzard screwed something up, yet again, and its 3 days from a new patch and they still have caps on required content that has had a end cap for months now… blizzard logic…

Really weird as i just got to max renown without spamming heroics or anything just did

callings
2 x lfr resets
4 dungeons for campaign
campaign story
2 x wb

renown is an RnG based system outside of weekly and campaign so i know its bad but nothing to mess up it is what it is sadly .

The system is dodgey and I don’t like it. Over the past few weeks I have religiously done the callings every day, and done approx 9 M+ or so a week by the end, as well as a few bgs here and there (and LFR wings) and world bosses each week…I would turn in my renown weeklies (souls, anima) every tuesday evening to avoid them clipping my cap.

I started three weeks ago with 12 renown (after char was inactive) and I had up to chapter 3 of my campaign done. I now have the whole thing done.

After all that above: so about 23-24 callings, 27 or so dungeons (perhaps closer to 30 if we count heroics) about 4 LFR bosses dead, 15 BGs, 3 world bosses and the weeklies where relevant. I am still stuck at 35 renown.

Initially I thought I would “easily hit cap” before the patch but now I am getting a bit bothered by it because it is just completely luck based, and it feels bad to do an entire play session of stuff I want to do, and get no renown. Surely this was the point?

Instead it’s looking like i’m going to have to do an evening of pointless, quick content (like spamming heroics mindlessly) to get the renown, which was NOT supposed to be the point.

They should have made it a “fill a bar” and when full, you get the renown. Each renown level reduces amount of % activities give you, so at say renown 15, a dungeon/raid boss/BG win gives 100% of a bar, whereas at 30, these give 33% of a bar. etc.

But no, instead we’re stuck with pure chance.

My mistweaver (from fresh 60) got to 40 renown in about 1.5 weeks. I mean come on.
