Reputations associated with Arathi Basin: The Defilers and The League of Arathor gives items at lvl 40 at lvl 50 and even Epics at lvl 60.
Blizzard decision to let people keep all the coins they famed early will give them an edge until lvl 60, where they can freshly 60 dinged buy epic weapons.

Meanwhile Blizzard has decided to extensively increase number of layers over the entire World, so people can face roller with 5 man group in STV.
New layers will impact the economy since the amount of resources available on the map is significantly increased, which devalues wahtever resources you have farmed so far, and destroys whatever is left of World PvP.
No worries though you can World PvP in STV …
number of players on the map is decrease since they are 100 layers now remember,
which transforms the current STV Meta into an Build in win trading fest where the remaining lot rushes wherever the Boss is on the World Map to get extra Blood,
no one can tell if you win trading or not since it’s almost part of the game, very nice…
The first phase was beta testing, this phase feels increasingly like an early alpha test, rewarding rushing through to take advantage of early exploits.
Blizzard wanted to lure us to retail with SoD, where we all buy beautiful pets and services, but for one am no longer willing to pay 13 euros a month for what is offerd let alone anything game shop related.

I didnt abuse this as I cba’d doing the event with lag, but even so, Not my problem
Typically they probably spent a lot of those coins on the mount, not to mention the fact that stranglethorn lumber can be brought in bulk i really dont think that’s an issue
The lvl 40 and 50 items are not even that great and lvl 60 is still months away how is this a problem?
Much QQ for nothing.

Not true lvl 40 shoes are very nice for tanks you get 8% walking speed and can enchant stam on them.
The fact that level 60 is still months away is irrelevant. What’s important is that people got reputation by abusing an event for a day or two giving them epics day one lvl 60.

this is how
Number one rule of wow is exploit early, exploit often. It’s the same s**t over and over again so there is no point in complaining about it because nothing ever happens and more often than not anyone who abused it will get to keep everything they gained from it.

Sad but ture, anyway lvl 40 STV stuff , dont care about that, but lvl 60 epics is to much
This leaves us with the option of offering Arathi Basin as free loot for everyone or continuing to only reward certain playstyles. In this case, I’m out.
Happened in P1 also with Ashenvale. People literally went Revered in a day.
People abused the supply crate recover mail thing and got ridiculous amounts of rep.
Blizz are incapable of foreseeing simple gameplay mechanics that can easily be abused and notorious for changing them to a point it makes things significantly harder or more time consuming for the players that didn’t abuse the mechanics. Meanwhile nothing ever gets done to the early abusers and they 99% of the time get to keep all the benefits from the exploit.
I remember in SOM when the server went live and you had like lvl 10s going to BG and getting like 5-6 ranks in less than 8 hours after release. Never got reverted and created a massive choke point, which effectively made SOM ranking just as bad as original, which it was supposed to combat.
Yes it is irrelevant since anyone can farm the rep needed for the lvl 60 items in a few months.
Having the rep now barely gives an advantege you just confirmed it yourself.
The event barely plays any diffrent to how it does now the only diffrence is that people now either spam altars or revive over and over next to the boss.
I really dont get why early birds should get punished for going into the event early. There was no restriction that you had to be lvl 40 to join it.

So I have to invest about 20 to 50 times more time to get the same reward
why do i get punished with playing an event that is boring to me just because i chose to lvl on the map instead of rushing dungeons?
is my time less valuable just because i’m enjoying the game differently?
Blizzard needs to think ahead, now the damage is done, so give everyone an easy reputation for Arathi Basin I’m not interested in farming two months to get waht those peopel got in 1-2 days.
Literally no one got anything in 1-2 days the rep item was not even working at that time.
And what should have everyone waite for you until you specifically had time to join the event?
I joined the first time around lvl 34 why didnt you?
If your not intrested in farming the rep why should you get it for free?
Should I also complain about having done the whole wsg grind from revered to exalted in bgs only before they changed the weekly to give rep even past revered? No because I like pvp and you clearly dont.
Stop asking for free stuff that you dont want to invest time in.

wsg Premate grind is no PvP same thing with STV just normalized wintrading
so i’m not allowed free stuff because i didn’t rush dungeons
but you and your Premate friends are?
ok thx so far keep trollin bro
the gear from the pvp event has some good perks but its not bis in most cases, really wouldnt bother spending all that time grinding exalted with pvp reps, the items are decent but i really doubt they will be bis at 60, maybe fresh dinged? but look at the gear from gnomer, bet the lv 50 raid will have good gear which will still be viable at 60, honestly dont waste your time with bg rep, really not worth the grind.
No you shouldn’t you filthy premader!
As long as horde win 90% of their ABs, i don’t see a problem with getting exalted fast 
Some people need to learn what punishment is xD we are not punished for not exploiting, we are just playing the game as intended ^^ I hope all bugs and exploits are gone by the time I hit 40 
yes your not entiteled to anything.
You could have as many others gone into the event before level 40 and gone back to leveling 30 mins later. There were barely any lvl 40s in the event until after the patch.
But you didnt and now you think you are entiteled to get stuff for free because you decided to level instead of trying out the event. This is a YOU problem and not blizzards or everyone elses.
But you already lost me at wintrading in stv as you can just get reported for it and whining about premades, grouping is literally a core part of the game you refusing to do so is yet again a YOU problem.
Calling others a troll wont change that fact.

probably worse than a troll, posting here 24/7 defending Blizzard most of time
yeah i’m sorry to i didn’t exploit early like you, very naive from me to expect Blizzard to create a fair and functioning event i can join later at 40
