I did rank 14 in original Classic ofc started late in P5 but even with old honor system it was faster and more fun to grind 500k or 700k honor when needed in the BGs than it is now to gain rank 4 and 60 %.
With this new system you need 33 750 honor and the world PvP is not PvP its like AV without AV and with 2 minutes ress timers for the raids. So wherever you go PvP you have to be part of 40 man raid fighting other 40 man raid. You run in circles and ress basically doing some AoE. Its rly no PvP just chaos that maybe was fun for a moment on the first day.
Now its just 10x more boring than doing AV and you get like 5 honor per alli and in the end you get 0 since all allies were killed so many times. So you have to do mindless grind that makes AV look like epic fun and it takes forever to gain honor for the first ranks.
Should it not be the other way around like you need 1 million or 1,5 million honor last week to gain R14 and not that you need to play all time runnin in a circle and 2 min waitin to ress (same apply to allies) for hours? Its not world PvP its not even PvP its just being there for more hours than in AV for R14 and doin some AoE.
Just wait 1 week. you will be one week behind with the gear but it is not a big deal if you raid as well. Once you hit rank 11 you gotta wait 4 weeks at least prolly 6 till rank 12 unlocks (shortly after bwl patch and this is announced to come in spring which starts march 20th)
This is nothing like AV, it’s quite the opposite. AV is just a PVE rush to boss battleground. World PVP is actual PVP, which is why they gave us a week to enjoy it.
Well it is like AV just you do even less PvP than in old school AV (I dont talk about this retail AV or TBC prepatch AV with nerfed bosses and mobs for fast PvE run). Because in old AV 40 people spread on a big map and you could even some times fight 1vs1 or in smaller groups.
Here you do literally no PvP just mages AoE and everyone who can AoE spam then all die and all ress til allies start giving 0 honor and we too give 0 honor then alli disappear and you have to change layer or look for some other place. But the PvP amount of it is literally 0 its a run there do AoE then die then ress then wait 2 minutes then change place for fresh alli since they dont give anymore honor.
Also the process takes longer than farming 500 000 honor and is definitely 0 PvP less than AV not to mention AB or WSG.
