TWENTIFIED DRAGONFLIGHT 10.0.5 PTR DEVELOPMENT NOTES

NEW FEATURE: TRADING POST​

A new feature is making its way to World of Warcraft — the Trading Post! Complete monthly activities to earn currency toward decking out your characters in cosmetic transmogs, pets, and mounts— with new items and activities introduced every month.

  • Introduction Quest: The Introduction quest rewards 500 Trader’s Tender once per account only.
  • Monthly Chest: Just by logging in and heading to the Trading Post, you can collect 500 Trader’s Tender every month from a chest called the Collector’s Cache.
  • Monthly activities (Traveler's Log): A monthly set of activities provides the opportunity to earn up to 500 additional Trader’s Tender.
  • Owning Dragonflight: In a bid to boost Dragonflight sales, the fact that you have bought the Dragonflight expansion will give you 500 extra tender.
**F2P Players will not have access to the Trading Post, but there will be lots of non-max level activities in the Log for subbed players.**

Hey I'am just curious, do they planning to increase the crafted items Ilvl to near the current dungeon or quest revard Ilvl or just add new optional reagents to crafting which can give you better Ilvl.

That is unclear so far, the item levels on the PTR are kinda out of whack, so we'll just have to wait until release

It had to be. At this point I am 100% sure they want to kill <20 lvl twinking or F2P.

They could have made it so you get 500 chicken tenders or w/e they are called by having an active sub, but to be able to get a part of the other 500 by doing what quests are possible and accessible. I mean, seeing the way they implemented stuff like Island Expeditions and the Class Halls, it clearly was possible to offer the F2P player base a fraction of the content, no matter how little, without going an extra mile or compromising the line between F2P and Subs.

I disagree that Blizz devs is intentionally trying to "kill" twinking or F2P. One of the prime metrics of game growth is MAU and average player time. It would make no sense to "kill" F2Ps, but there is no reason to incentivize players playing for free. Removing 20s from XPon is a logical choice because players who can't gain experience shouldn't be able to play in a bracket full of levelers. Making the Warforged grind the meta for 20s is an unintentional change because of how item level scaling has been re-worked. Both changes are largely undocumented and it would be semi-outrageous to think that Blizzard cares about F2P twinking at all outside of a few game-breaking bugs that might affect end-game players. F2P and unsubbed vet play has been nothing but expanded over the years (1,000 gold cap, addition of Shadowlands, all BFA dungeons added, etc.), but unless Blizzard decides to change their business model and actually monetize their F2P playerbase, I doubt they would ever give current content to non-paying players.

The entire point of the trading post is to incentivize maintaining an active account even during content down times. Just look at how its built. "here's a monthly treat and once you turn in 12 months of treats, here's a special treat for being such a good little boy"

Allowing people to acquire those treats w/o game time (even if its grindy or even not as fast) would defeat the whole purpose.

twinks have damaged twinking using mains, alts, and in rare cases their twinks to get changes that drasticlly affected the play style.

- in WOTLK, the XP off split was championed by twink 19's on the previous forum, some may still be here under different names now. twinks did the holier than thou..."levelers should not be facing twinks". seeing the forums posts blizzard reacted, did the split, and by seeing the examples that were provided did what was referred to as the great twink nerf when it came to leg/shoulder and etc enchancements/enchants.

- in CATA, it was 19's again who championed that F2P19s aren't twinks and blizzard removed XP off option from them. 19s went from near 24hr pops to certain times then certain nights

- it was twinks highlighting the power difference, abilities, etc in the x0-x9 brackets with examples that resulted in brackets being split x0-x4 and x5-9. this pretty much canceled all x9. several expacs latter in Legion they were remerged with template BGs

- at the very start of BFA and SL, blizzard had XP on/off again merged, it was the Vet20 twinks this time championing the split. poster had a thread on this site with link to WOW forum. along with posting bugs reports citing previous expacs. blizzard redid the split, somehow F/V20s stayed in XP on.

- twinks in Classic van-WOW complained about ZG enchants, mostly because if you did not have a higher level main that raided, got rep, bought tokens, you would not be able to get them. Blizzard reacted and over reacted nerfing these to require level 60. this in return shanked those with higher level twinks going into Classic TBC.

- in SL again twinks did the holier than thou..."levelers should not be facing twinks" tactic was used, with examples, etc, and blizzard reacted near the end of SL. now 20-29 is in same state that 10/15-19 went into years ago.

Blizzard has given F/V20s what was just quests and seven dungeons from van-wow (cata) along with BG satchels, etc. to...since SL having access to dungeons/quests/zones spanning from van wow (cata) to BFA. everything that has occurred to twinks, was a reaction by Blizzard to complaints by twinks

at max level they call level-70s with 400+ gear trouncing ill geared players in SS, BGs as geared because they are maxxed in the current expac. yet any players that are 60 without DF that were on the same status during SL are instantly called twinks because they are not upgrading to twink till next expac. Vet20s mostly are intentionally unsubbing (only sub when needed for upgrades etc). F2P20 are not subbing to upgrade their game and are more limited with less options a Vet has. either way 20's don't have the scaling like 10s do, causing a huge decline in XPoff 20-29 as previously mentioned

the worst example of a Blizzard injustice in gearing and scaling is during the Korak AV BG. if any Blizzard BG system warranted a complaint this BG even more than SS, even though it's time is limited.
