I feel like people who would come to try plunderstorm, would not then go "I should sub to and try wow!" and if they did, they would hate it/feel massive whiplash, cause it is a COMPLETLY different game.
Like imagine trying to attract a pokemon player into wow, by showing them pet battles and then trying to get them into the rest of the game through that.

You say you hate it, but then praise it every single time it was used in the past.

3 Major Rules of World of Warcraft Players:
1. No one on earth wants to play World of Warcraft less than other World of Warcraft players.
2. The desire to win>The desire for anything else in World of Warcraft. NO EXCEPTIONS
3. Efficiency will be king no matter how you think it will improve the game.
Sure it can be grindy, but if you have played plunderstorm almost everyday(an hour or two) you would be pretty far along already and with this obvious boost it would require even less time.
It seems way to many people have hateplayed plunderstorm for a couple of days and grinded it out just for the cosmetics. Thats on them. It was a given they would bump the xp.
