When will the bracket be shaken up again?

1, disable group queuing

There is already a system that encourages the search for random people, but for dungeons only. It gives the whole group a 3x stacking bonus that increases stats. Blizzard must calibrate and weave this system for an unrated random bg - that would be better than "disable group queuing".

Allegedly there is a World of Warcraft "2" in the works - though I find that to be highly sus.

I'd say perhaps closer to patch 10.0...? Unless the devs, the MVPs and the player base actually cry and call out for severe changes.
 
you sound like a bitch fr you gotta understand twinking is literally pay to win, whether it’s a time investment or gold or both, you’re not going out there trying to gear like a leveler to make it fun and balanced for everyone...

like brilliant said you can make a pretty good set pure ftp and compete it’s rlly not that bad

good riddance 2 u n ur friends


You sound like you're a full-time fucking loser(no other occupation) and someone i've probably farmed while just F2P. Twinking literally isn't worth it right now except for the most committed no-lifers, and even then, there are better games to waste your time on with better rewards to do so. The ilvl 28 gear just isn't worth the time investment, and so twinking isn't as well. I'm sorry this is news to you and that you're going to struggle to divest yourself from something you've over-invested emotionally in. In fact, you sound exactly like a newb who is carried by just the extra stats given by twink gear. You probably get killed by levellers on the regular without twink gear.


Dumbshits like you are bad for the health of any game.

I seriously think you overestimate how much of an impact these items have, you are perfectly capable of killing a person with ilevel 28s if you have decked out tbc socket gear. And farming ilevel 28s without sockets takes no time whatsoever. I dont get why this has anything to do with it.

If this is the reason you quit, you were probably going to quit soon regardless, for me this is the sole reasln i continue. Cause now i have something to work towards. Its bot like full speed/leech socket gear is going to give you bramblestaff power.

I've killed people as F2P without enchants/etc in BFA and punched way above my gear level doing so for a considerable amount of time. Its not required, but its a noticable difference. The same is probably true of all the BIS socket gear. You telling me if i run around in fireflash ilvl 28 i'm going to be fine? I doubt it. Even if it doesn't have a socket, its going to add up. There are already grandfathered pieces which convey advantages that only a few people have. Not having socketed pieces, and worse, ones itemized properly, adds up.

At the end of the day, its a huge deterrent(the barrier to entry is just too high) for anyone who wants to twink. When trying to attract new people to twinking, you are talking about people who are likely considering quitting WoW entirely, who don't want to remain subbed to the game to farm the gear and are telling them that BIS, or a rough approximation, is going to take basically forever(month(s)) for a single character. I've brought plenty of people to this community and i can't recommend anyone try it out due to the ridiculous time commitment and just how boring it is to try and get the gear you need. I've already run around in BIS f2P gear(no sockets) and you can definitely feel it compared to those with socketed gear.

TLDR?
 

something along the lines of "you are a loser that plays WoW too much, but I, on the other hand, am an amazing f2p"

Way too long but point proven, someone clearly started in legion

i remember rerolling my 19 rogue 5 times in BC because I didn’t get the gear i wanted, you’re crying about an xpac where you can buy the best gear instead of farming for it

You can literally just drop $60 on tokens (idk if that’s a lot for you?) and buy all the i28 gear you “need” in 2 minutes on a decent server

if that’s too hard for you, you probably aren’t cut out for twinking anything but a hunter with the rest of the losers anyway
 
:’( sad when such a LEGEND in the community hates on me, I’ll cry about this later :(((
I'm just saying it's the surv hunter of the healers, so hating on surv then going and playing disc is silly, you're no better than them. Gotta accept the scumbaggery.

This is coming from a fellow disc main.

Some of these huntards are in the same boat.

As long as you're having fun at the end of the day then whatever I guess, power to ya.

I agree, but a cursory glance in details/recount at dispels and % healed by what will tell you whose been playing for a while and whose FOTM. Most of the discs that are just playing it because it’s good have the majority of their healing as shadow mend

Same shit with hunters, rlly easy to see who knows what they’re doing and who is just FOTM, most of the hunters in the 20s bracket are just rerolls for bad players and it shows

Yeah. Most of the discs in the 20s bracket are also just rerolls for bad players.

Well, some of them have been around for years, but they still somehow play about as good as I did when I was 9 years old, so... :FrogeConcern:

yea, when i'm watching a rez timer after harpoon/raptor/raptor its comforting to look at a dps meter and think "ah yes, well at least the guy that killed me has trap on his action bars"

Lmfao I see your point, hunters from clickers.com (credit tgod) are easier to bait into overextending etc at least tho so (hopefully) if you have a decent team that understands peeling and target swapping you don’t have to check combat log except to see how high your execute crit :p

Edit: my bad I misread what you said, yeah it sucks either way but i find it more comforting to know I was killed by a hunter with a modicum of talent rather than some FOTM idiot spamming 2 buttons

This exactly, & thus sometimes, ...
after getting our a#$% handed to us in a BG (noticing we had as much if not more healing than other team)
and wondering why/wtf ???
I then take that aforementioned cursory glance into the details/recount...
Only to find one or more of the healers on our side, mostly healed themselves ... no dispells ...etc
and/or my Spinal Healing Injector did more healing than one of our heals ...
Besides geared versus lesser geared toons, it also makes a huge difference ...
actual heals versus just someone in the healer role.

If ilvl 28(the green stuff) gear goes my guess is that people see a resurgence in interest. I quit because of it, its just too much to ask of most people to go get it and there are far better games/things to do with my time. The farming for it is incredibly boring and i wouldn't be surprised if people bot it - if there was ever a farm that basically asked for it would be this kind of crap(not endorsing botting/not doing it myself etc). The RNG dungeon crap is enough. Its like a full time job if you want even remotely good pieces for most classes and i highly doubt blizzard wanted 20s to have ilvl 28 green pieces. The barriers to entry are too high right now so just getting rid of this one thing would be helpful to the bracket on the whole. I know i'm not the only person who has quit over this. The vast majority of my friends list did as well. Fixing this would shake up the bracket since it would either mean nerfing it or making unusuable, either way, probably healthy. Don't think they care enough to do it though but its sort of weird that in an expansion that expanded twinking capacity, they basically killed it with giving too much to do.

As for the next shakeup - potentially some item that doesn't scale like its supposed to via an event or just wait for the next expansion i guess. I came back for ilvl 54 artifacts but that's gone and i'm just not interested in spending the time farming for near-indefinite periods.
This but ironically
