Warlords of Draenor Changes for F2P

Skirmishes will be an AFKfest. Don't like your teammate(s), afk. Don't like your comp, afk. Don't like your opponent, afk. Don't like opponent's comp, afk. Opponent has a sub account,afk. Etc... There should be a penalty for leaving early if you solo queue. Especially if there is a long queue time. It would not be fair to the person(s) that got paired with you.
Blizzard has to realize, the demographics of the game have greatly skewed since skirmishes were last available. It's player base is not as "mature" as it once was.
Don't forget, the bracket is about to expand to 20-29. Who the hell knows how that will work in skirmishes. One can only assume scaling will take place. In wargames, it does not.

That's why an extension of the addon would be preferable; to allow pseudo-ranked queues. People won't leave if there is something, even artificially created, at stake.
 
so many things possible with comps for 2s and 3s . i really can't wait . hopefully arena sunday happens again . would be fun .
 
Lol if you go to the website and look up the female night elf updates, players are talking about night elves having fangs.....I didn't even know they had them till now
 
  • Like gear, enchants and gems are scaled down in Warlords of Draenor, which the database reflects.
    ^ might work out to a f2p advantage



  • Dodge and Parry are removed and have been converted into Critical Strike, Haste, or mastery on armor pieces, or Bonus Armor on non-armor pieces. In addition, all players now have 0% chance to be dodged and 3% chance to be parried. Tanks receive an additional 3% chance to be parried.

    ^ may just mean that the annoying boE blue chest from bFd might finally be useful .

Im curious how mastery is going to work, from what i understand it doesnt kick in till 80+ right?


Edit: Nvm they probably just wont put any mastery on lowbie gear.

I wonder how it's going to affect our Tank 'looms. Maybe we'll be seeing haste-stacked warriors. lol
 
I just really hope the heirloom shield for tanks gets changed into crit as well as the sword, if so then arms warrior wont be any thing compared to protection....unless the efc is at 10 stacks then you'll probably kill it within 3-7 hits depending on their Lvl and class

It's already the trend now at max, so its possible. But stacking anything but primary stats at this level is only for a few classes, and obscure "skillbuilds"
