Man… its real bad. And I’ll explain why in simple way.
Nr 1: The math is wrong. And thats based on 1 simple fact. You didn’t at all take into account peoples accomplishments / rewards. You just did the numbers and ignored the other variables.
When BFA hit I was 25 prestige 50 honor. You spoke about how you didn’t want a system where people went like " WOAH… Ill never get there" yet what sounds more insurmountable? 25 prestige? Or ONE THOUSAND honor levels? Each of which demand 8800 honor.
Legions honor levels gave us gold and stuff every single level for only 800-1500 honor. Now we get nada. NOTHING. And that feels bad.
Nr 2: You literally turned WoW’s leveling into the honor system. 120 levels of very boring, generic grinding. We dont get anything per lvl. We barely unlock talents. We get all abilities for free. No sense of accomplishment or reward at all. And literally 0 after reaching lvl 100.
This is a very boring, very bland way to progress in. And this is where me and other legion players enter the picture because pardon the expression but you F’ed us real bad when BFA hit.
Explanation = I was honor lvl 135 or so when BFA hit. There were rewards all the way up to lvl 300 +. Rewards… i STILL own to this day even though Im only honor lvl 203 now or so. Because I simply cannot be bothered to ever farm this again when Ill get the same rewards…
I spoke to a GM long ago that said the math was right but indeed it didn’t make any sense for me to regrind them.
It feels like I was rolled back. many of us had this happen. And it has not been addressed. Its just been swept under the rug, but Ion, every single time I open my honor tab, Im reminded that the next reward in 100 levels is SOMETHING I ALREADY HAVE…
It sucks, man. And it absolutely ruins my complete interest in doing PVP for any other reason than to play with friends.
So what do I ask? 2 things.
Nr 1: Revert to Legions system. IT was faster, more lucrative and the PVP dailies were nice. And MENTALLY SURMOUNTABLE, which you spoke of on a Q&A. These are your words when talking about how you didn’t want people to look at a colossal pyramid that theyll never ever climb.
Nr 2: GIve players their appropriate honor lvl / prestige lvl based NOT on the honor they have earned, but on the achievements they possess.
Because asking us to regrind is outright insane and wrong.
This wasn’t right back in august and its not right now.
Fix this. Because the current honor system is everything that is wrong with wow’s progression.
Thank you.
