Playing devils advocate here.I like the game mode, not a huge fan of pvp but being able to get the majority of rep from doing PVE stuff is nice. The majority of WoW players don't partake hardcore in pvp (I think it's like 10-15% of the worldwide playerbase probably less) so to cater for everyone is nice.I'd love to see Fire Whirl get some tuning down though cos whilst yes it's fun and powerful it's also just not fun to try and stop.
rep gain is way too low you get about as much for winning as you do getting top 30 and just farming golda pvp mode should reward pvp and not farming at the edge of the map til top 5
I cannot wait to get the renown rep done and never play this trash again. for the love of god, it's the worst experience I ever had in WoW... if you can say this is WoW at all
If the rep gain was 5 rep per 1 plunder, this would be SIGNIFICANTLY less of a headache. It's bad for people who get stressed easily, and having nice rewards locked behind a stressful minigame is a stupid move. That said, you should focus on getting the garbage skills that aren't as good for pvp; most of them will decimate elites in one to two hits, even at level 1. The fish slap is especially nice because you can slap and run away to tag another elite while the other just up and dies a painful and slow death.Either way, they do not need to make this a repeating thing. Let this be the only time they make this horrible mistake. Battle Royale is dead, and Fortnite (the only one that's even still relevant) is beating a dead horse already.
The mode itself is pretty fun, however it being limited time with some very nice rewards is the main problem for me. ( And yes I know that its 'only' 2.5k a day or so, but thats time I could be playing other games, or doing other things in WoW)
The best way to gain exp is do the captains quest, kill yourself and go again.
I find this whole game mode %^&*ing stupid as playing the game and farming the plunder is supposed to be the best way to get renown. HOWEVER their is no big bonus for killing players. More than that if your someone playing WoW and who doesn't like battle royales then your up &*!@ creek for rewards till they become traders tender purchasable if they do it at all. Like...I don't pvp because it has no interest to me. Why should I be pidgeonholed into playing a game mode that is both pvp only AND does not reflect WoW all that well either tbh?Blizz really ^&*! the bed on this one and I can't even defend it at all. Whoever had this idea should be fired or at least not allowed to do modes like this in the future.
I'm glad they are trying new things and i know my friends are loving this- but i personally detest BR style games and find this to be horribly repetitive and grindy. I hope they double the rep gains so its not so abysmal.I wish people would just leave me alone when i run away- i dont really care about killing anyone i just want to get my little quest done before i get ganked lol
So funny all the comments calling people who are just playing and enjoying the game mode griefers , god forbid someone play a video game for fun.
