as the title says.
since it has come up in various different threads i thought it would be right to make a dedicated thread for this.
i think locking the main expansion campaign behind reputation is a problematic thing, and so far i am not a fan of it.
i like unlocking story quests myself without watching spoilers, but i also like reading on WoW news sites about miscellaneous topics.
combine that with sites that put topic headlines at the top of their page, like MMO-Champ or Wowhead, and the idiots that create topics or news article with spoilers in the title and you have spoilers jump in your face every time you open such a website.
i don't mind a spoiler once in a while, but having to tiptoe around every WoW news site for the next 2 years to avoid story spoiler that others have unlocked weeks in advance sounds bothersome.
before, there were some topics you could fall behind on, like class hall campaigns on alts or a raid cutscene after defeating a certain boss,
but having the main campaign narrrative locked behind something that can be farmed without end is a bit annoying.
right now it is only 1 or 2 small bits of story, but unless they add some form of catch up for renown, the gap will widen until we reach the renown cap.
what do you think about this?
again, this is not about progression or player power, but about the fact that you either have to constantly dodge spoilers or grind rep like crazy to see it before the spoilers get overwhelming.
