Why are some people have the Cyrce's Circlet at 658?

The season is already over and and i doubt the extra ilvl or stamina will help with anything …
Delves …barrely anyone’s doing them …
M+ last week a new record with almost 300k m+ completed :smiley:
And Raiding ?? most of the guild are at 4/8 and 5/8 with 638-9 ilvl :smiley:

I /rofl at those people who paid for almost a zero improve other than ilvl/stamina :smiley:

naive view point

title is still possible to get and its a huge boost

many pugs do 4/8m because the bosses are joke level :smiley:
Ppl with less mechanical skill can do Nexus-Princess now or maybe Ovinax for 6/8m
Many Guilds still progress on Queen and you can skip much in p3 with extra dps.

Meh, if all it takes is having full bags then it’s not so easy to assume the intent. This is just a child-like oversight from their side, very easy to bugfix I presume. They just don’t give a …

Imagine paying real money for X number of faction changes to boost this ring to max ilvl in a finished season.

Now I am waiting for the “WoW is P2W!!!” crowd to use this as an argument as well. :rofl:

its not finished

Well, doesn’t have to be real money. We’ve been able to convert Gold into Battle.net Balance for like 7-8 years now?

Yes, it´s very common to unintentionally switch factions back and forth numerous times… :laughing:

It´s one thing to faction change once and see that the quest is up again, that “can happen” (but should realistically still be a red flag in any sane person´s mind)

But it´s not even remotely unintentional to then flip flop back and forth multiple times just to redo the quest, and anybody that did so deserves to be sanctioned, period.

Just as when you´re driving a car, You can accidentally run a red light once by mistake or not paying attention, and you generally won´t lose your license for it… But Ignoring half a dozen of them witin 5 minutes is either criminally insane or obviously intentional, and should absolutely lead to , at the least, an extended suspension of the priveleges to operate a motor vehicle.

While in that case there is generally an exception for emergencies, like childbirth /saving someone´s life, I don´t think "I had to exploit so that I could save my tank’s life in the next M+ Run " really counts in teh same way :rofl::beers:

The season is, for people that want to push m+ /PvP rating and /or shoot for the .1% title, as well as people that aren’t HoF raiders but “casually mythic”, anything but finished. Just becauee the wannabes that only care about gear and quit as soon as they have it aren´t playing anymore doesn´t mean the game is dead for those people that have actual goals beyond getting decked out in purple pixels.

The should, as I stated in a previous but now deleted post, wait until everyone can get 658, then suspend those players that obviously exploited using teh faction change system. It can be argued that the bag bug is “innocent”, but on the other hand, who runs around witz zero bagspace for hours on end? Probably not the majority of player I´m going to guess… But this too is easily trackable by Blizzard if they want to.

And ideally, just to drive the point home, then also reset their rings to 639, forcing them to redo the whole process normally when they return, though at the accelerated pace that the baked-in catch up mechanic allows for :stuck_out_tongue:

If we see no sanctions whatsoever, then I will for the first time in many years be legit angry with Blizzard, because where’s the point of making an example out of the people that exploited Severed Threads rep 4 months ago if an actual P2W exploit later in the very same season goes unpunished? :person_shrugging: :wink:

Is it possible to farm event boss if we already did weekly quest? for other upgrade gem

I sadly have to say no

just to be clear its faction change not race change and can be done every 3 days.

Apply a hotfix that make everyone’s ring back to max item level it can get, and patch so racechange or faction change etc does not reset weekly anymore in future patch, that some one wasted money on racechange etc should be punishment enough.

I dont remember any recent time where somebody was given punishment for an exploit .

There was last year during the pandaria event I think, people exploited the bronze farm. It was separate event sure from the retail but those people got nerfed.

In the beginning of this expansion we got the Severed Threads banwave. That was exploiting a bug, with a couple days consequences.

Punishment is getting suspended or banned .just taking away the loot or nerfing it i dont think you can call it punishment

1 Week bans and repoutation resets for many people, incl numerous RWF raiders, for exploiting the Severed Threads reputation before S1 started. This excluded them from heroic week.

This happened roughly 4 months ago.
