Never played classic so I’m curious how hard it actually is to get rank 14. Is it impossible for someone with a job or is this possible?
I always thought the classic honor system sounds like garbage because it literally just shows how much you play the game.
Yes it’s impossible if you have a life of some sort outside of WOW. It requires probably around 100 hours of dedicated focused PVP per week, which is 14 hours per day. The rank is only available to actual nolifers.
And with the way ranks work, you have to do this every week otherwise you lose your rank.
Oh its easy, all you have to do is be willing to breat TOS and share your account.
Honestly, I didnt know one person who made a high PvP rank without account sharing…
14hours/day for a few months. You must be a total nolifer if u handle this…
You need to get more honor than basically everyone else on your faction for several weeks, consecutively.
If you plan out your vacation for the final stretch it might be doable with a job.
Sounds indeed like absolute garbage.
What rank is possible for someone with a job? Can I even get my epic PvP set?
Was pretty hyped for the system but this sounds like something I’m definitely going to quit in a couple of weeks and wait for TBC.
PvP set is rank 12 and 13, requiring approximately the same effort as the 14, so I would hardly think so. I think r10 is a huge accomplishment for a employed non-streamer player.
Well, to me it has always sounded stupid to pvp just for the rewards. I pvp because I like it. And pve offers great items too to compete in pvp!
I never bothered with the PVP rewards. The trinket at rank 2 is nice, and the 10% discount at rank 3 is super nice. I did once farm 1 horde and 1 alliance to rank 6 at the same time, just to see the officer room. But anything above 8 or so probably takes up most of your free time outside of the job. If you don’t have wife, kids and other responsibility, you can probably get the blue set even with a job though.
R10 (blue gear) can be achieved by just playing a couple hours a day. But R11 and onward requires multiple months of playing 12-14 hours a day and it’s not achievable by people who have a job/life.
R11-R14 is no joke, that’s why they reward you with an epic mount, epic gear, and finally epic weapons.
It’s literally impossible if you don’t play ALL DAY EVERY DAY.
Even people like asmongold cant do it.
You also have to be GOOD, if you suck bolls and lose fights and bgs more than you win, you will not become rank 14.
You can get to like rank 12 with just time investment and mediocre skill tho
Rank 14 is a whole nother ballgame, don’t even try to get that stuff
Get high up for sure, pvp gear and titles n all that, but the final rank is not worth it.
It is not ONLY a time investment tho, that’s for sure.
All ranks are rough to get bar the first one private or grunt or whatever which is ofc very easy.
Rank 10-11 is doable if you just keep a reasonably high honor gain every week. Obviously, the more you play, the faster it will go, but you can stretch that over time. You don’t need to no-life it to get the blue set, you just have to be reasonably active each week.
Anything above 10-11 is gonna require no-life dedication, though, simply because enough other people are gonna be doing it, and there are almost definitely gonna be guilds doing rotations and boosting each other.
Depends on how much time you can or want to dedicate to playing PVP.
I find it very satisfying when you finally unlock a new rank… that goes for rank 3 and rank 4 as well as rank 13 or 14.
I know I’ll never get the top ranks, but that’s okay. Why can’t people be rewarded for playing a lot?
I mean I know for example that even though I’m skilled enough to be able to do heroic raiding, the rewards would be cut off for me as I am not able/willing to make the investment of dedicated raid times to a guild.
A buddy of mine got r13 by just afking bg’s half the time and while attending school 9 to 5 every day.
Stop glorifying the rank.
A lot of the high ranks will be botters, account sharers and afkers.
You don’t have to be a god at pvp, you just need time and seeing how well people adjusted to the autokicks at launch, i have no doubt they will find a way to rank up with the least amount of effort.
I’m ofc talking about when bg’s hit.
All day every day for 15 weeks, right?
Yeah good luck with botting in current wow
As if you wont be banned in a week MAX.
One of my buddys? Yeah the CEO of microsoft and also amazon and apple…
Is is absolute garbage. The worse system ever added to WoW, and maybe even to any MMORPG.
I believe it will be even harder now with the mega servers.
It is worse because it encourages fights within the same faction.
People just need to respect the brackets!
Edit: Some random guy getting too much honor can ruin it for actual rankers
Lying is bad.
