This is a good change. I grinded out honored and it was not fun, it was miserable grinding mobs for drops just to run all the way back to a city to hand it in and run all the way back to continue the grind. Hell, some of the boxes ask for items that don't even exist in the damn game yet (maybe Blizzard should hire back some of that QA they keep firing?).I'm glad people don't have to do this !@#$ grind anymore. Especially with alts. Friendly is much easier to get to and more manageable. I'm sad that I wasted gold on a more expensive version, but I have well over 100g at this point so at the end of the day it's whatever.People whining about this change because they want other people to suffer the same as they did really need to look in a mirror. Wanting other people to suffer just because we did means you're a bad person. Be better. You should be happy about a good change not demand other people suffer. You will benefit from this when you level alts too.
GJ @#$%ting on everybody that grinded the rep (without exploit). Rly gj.
I just want to say that not everyone used the exploit to reach honoured. Personally I did it in about 2-4 hours, flying back to thunderbluff. It was very tedious but definitely didn’t take as long as you think. Horde and alliance both had areas that you could easily loop around and farm the chest. For horde it was the quilboar near the camp taurajo flight point. As soon as I got a single crate I flew back, if I couldn’t make the items or afford to fill it, I’d just hand it in anyways as it’s still 200rep
Nice change. The new faction should have sold bop, non-DE gear with +hit gear since at lvl 25 it's sorely lacking.But never runes. We're supposed to be out discovering them.
While I agree with the change it kinda sucks that I grinded out to honored and now get nothing for it.
As someome who grinded out honored, no item restore exploit used, just so I could “discover” what rouge tanking was, I think this is a great change. That grind sucked lol
I am missing the point of "only Stormwind and Orgrimmar"
The amount of people whining about them having to grind "all the way to honored" is $%^&ing ridiculous.I used a few hours in total (3-5) from friendly to honored. I reached friendly before I hit lvl 25.You would known by just playing the game that chests has a higher chance of containing supplies, if you actually loot chests that is.
Instead of changing the terrible gameplay loop of Hearthing back to SW every time you get a shipment (directly harming the classic leveling gameplay people love), they put another bandaid fix in. This is giving my shadowlands vibes, where the devs where ideologically fixed on a certain design that was incompatible with ingame reality (covenants etc.). This specific mechanic is more like Conduit Energy, which served no purpose in game.They are either completely clueless about what makes classic vanilla fun and satisfying, or they are doing toxic design on purpose. I think they are clueless, because in the Zoom fireside chat they used buzzwords and empty rhetoric to explain it away.
It's a good change. in three days of SFK/RFK runs I've seen only one box. This is so unlucky.
