You said that your point was that if {something} is from an old expansion and only done for collectionism, it shouldn’t be timegated.
Why does that {something} only include raids and not reputations? Argent tournament grounds has no relevance anymore, yet the rewards are timegated behind dailies. So again, who decides what to change and what not to change? ATG dailies being able to be picked up multiple at a time would drastically reduce the effort needed. But it’s only cosmetic and it’s a timegating, so by your request, it should be changed. Those were your clearly stated intentions.
If you make posts about changes you want to see but don’t think about what those changes would entail, that shows that you are not interested in the change itself just YOUR usecase.
I have 7 chars that could get it but CBA going back week after week, as that is not a good enough value for me. If I could just reset the raid when I’m done with the stage I needed, I could get 7 of those boxes so 7 mounts in 1 or maybe 2 days. Price would crash and those that actually put effort into creating alts to get the box to sell on the AH would be financially hurt.
What I am saying is that you SHOULD think about the broader results of any proposed change. I definitely missed a lot of things. But even the ones I caught are problematic.
I don’t have anything else to add… I made a suggestion and stated what my intentions were while asking for reasons to NOT do it.
Our discussion specifically was more about the differences in “putting in the effort ” and convenience than identifying possible reasons not to make the change.
Wrong. Read the words that are written out in the title and in the original post.
I said in several posts that players already simulate my request with creating more and more characters. #convenience
No. Because this would pretty much give goldfarming bots perfect places to farm.
Instanced where nobody can see them, resetable so they can run out and repeat. And with much more trash and drops to vendor. Even boe tmogs wich might sell.
just because there are more efficient ways doesnt mean its a better way. Bots dont need the most efficient way, they need a way where they go undetected .Instanced content like raids is perfect for that. Bot users dont care about getting the most amount of gold but how long they can get away with it without any effort put into them. Chinese goldsellers are not going to farm herbs like a normal person.
They do get banned, but sadly blizz does this in waves. So people who do get caught botting and selling gold for real money generally profit enough that they just buy a new account and do it again because they can do it long enough.
But yeah instead of blizz constantly firing more and more people during record profit years they should be investing in more customer service people wich handle reports,tickets and also investigate shady behaviour. We all know a big company isnt going to do this because of money, but it is what they should do
Even the developers don’t agree on how to in retrospect name the World of Warcraft base game. In the Professions-window the base game profession skills are now named ‘Classic [Profession]’ instead of just ‘[Profession]’ as it was before DF professions UI rework.
I know all legacy expansions are included with the base game as it works nowadays, but I consider the title ‘World of Warcraft’ to be THE initial base game for this game.
