<=== This guy is not amusedBlizzard has come up with another spectacular idea. Make Lake Wintergrasp dailies weekly. It seems that it has become too popular, so in order to avoid server lagging Blizzard decided to curb the amount of people rushing into Lake Wintergrasp every day. Outrage... Blizzard states that the amount of shards and honor points per daily (now weekly) will rise. It will now be 10 shards, and 3723 honor points per weekly. How are 10 shards a week even close to 3 shards a day? The same with honor. I am used to doing the Wintergrasp dailies almost every day and so are some of my guildies. Getting some of the PvP gear for some of us will soon be a much more tedious task.
It seems strange to me that Blizzard is now trying to get people out of PvP after having rushed them into it. Why even make Lake Wintergrastp if you now try to get players out of there by turning it into a playground for those who go in just for the sake of slaughter (like me)? "Newsflash" - people are most certain to be doing the weeklies the day they reset. That will mean that that day will deliver a massive blow to the server. Is that any better?
It turns out that Blizzard can't handle open world PvP. It is too much of a strain for the servers and blah-blah-blah. Well that is more or less understandable. But why advertise Lake Wintergrasp so much? I mean, it turned out not as intended from the very launch of Wrath. There were no flying machines. Plus the server issues that caused the players to crash to desktop if they logged out in Northrend. If you pimp your product so much - deliver!
Why make PvP gear so accessible just to take it away later? It used to almost be a breeze to get the Hateful Gladiator set, which is pretty good, it gets the job done. You could get it fast and fairly easy. The change does injustice to those who are yet to ding 80. The chunks of honor you got in Lake Wintergrasp were the main source of gear for me and for loads of other players that were fond of PvP. Now it is back to BGs. And personally, I don't really enjoy the BGs. These "PvP mini-games" get very annoying after a while. And it feels much more like a grind to try to get honor points by running several BGs in a row. It is like Blizzard wants to halt PvP after letting it loose. And in the process it's just screwing over the lovers of PvP. The company is so sure of its firm leadership at the MMO market that making a big chunk of players dissatisfied with the gaming experience doesn't seem like such a big deal.
