I dont like that they are forcing arena-people to do rated battlegrounds. So much fail!

lol at butthurt arena players. for years people who hates arenas but likes bg were forced to do weekly arenas for points to obtain gear. now, just for a bit, you will be forced to do some battlegrounds as well. organized rbg teams needs some pug cannon fodder to farm in bg, same as experienced arena players needs pug arena point farmers for faster queues and more variety. you dont have to be super effective to get 2-3 rbg wins per week. just form trade chat pugs. same as arena farmers form random arena teams each week with random comps just to grab those missing points.
still not happy that you can get valor capped without raiding but at least now I dont need to run my main through HCs as much
How the heck is 2 drops per 10 man any less than 5 drops per 25?
2/10 = 5/25 = 1/5 - or did you miss first grade maths?
So how is it easier for 25-mans to gear? Well it isn't.
It is a hell of a lot harder to organize and maintain 25-mans though, and it needs some incentive to help guilds provide a type of content that a lot of us players prefer.
.... The Change on the Honor Points is pretty stupid imo....
As a guy who only plays Rated BG's ... i dont want to be forced to play some stupid arena games just to reach my cap -.-
Effin awesome!!!!!! job on the VP cap.
You must be in a 10 man guild. 25 man guilds will cap from Firelands alone, without having to set foot in BH.
One week out and we still have no confirmation on how you obtain Living Embers, the "orb" for tier 2 of cata. They are used in every 4.2 craftable, but no where does it say where you get the damned things.
My name is Cernunnos, I will love you like no other, I have died a thousand deaths, each time I died I thought of you.
It's not about that I guess.
It's 2 pieces against 5 pieces of the same loot table. The chance that the piece you need drops is much higer.
Say if a boss drops 10 different items, in a 10-man raid you will see it 20% of the time and in a 25-man raid you will see it 50% of the time.
In the case everyone's geared and most of the loot is disenchanted, you can even find full epic raiders with one blue piece missing (like me) because of the (increased) loot RNG in 10-man raids.
Edit: And that blue piece drops from ****ing Magmaw, the first boss we downed and the one I've killed more times. So..
Exactly. Same here - 18 Magmaw kills and still no bracers It's just much easier for 25 mans to gear up simply because there's more chance for useful gear to drop for the larger raid composition. With only 7 available bosses in firelands and loot tables being so big, it's going to be even worse for 10 man's. It's stupid that the gear is so RNG such that even at the beginning of cata, on almost every kill we were disenchanting something.
Would it really be so difficult to perform a very simple, tiny raid composition check?

Forced to do RBG to cap!?. Ah well had alot of fun years in this game. Now its time to leave.
Awesome going to be forced to play the terrible RBGs if I want to cap my weekly Conquest points.
You only have to do RBGs to cap your conquest if your RBG cap is higher than your arena cap.
All this points and caps, it's too much. I need a spreadsheet just to remember where I get which points and what I have to do to get the max. It's not fun, it's not intuitive and it's hell on new players.
I'm confused, what will be the VP cap in the end ? 980 as they announced a few days ago ? 1250 ? 1120 ? WTH ?
Wait... is the cap still 980? Because if it is then 25 man raiders have less reason to do BH...
