Current Events > Sorry but i think its really dumb that the new Allied Races in wow are Rep gated

(+) Yeah! (+)

"hurr hurr hurr you just suck! just spend the next 4 weeks of your life grinding rep with these factions like a true player"
"but i paid 50 dollars"
"so what. get good. just play"
"i work full time."
"LOL FILTHY CASUAL! you don't deserve it then!"

this is seriously how all the conversations on this topic are going. i think its dumb. if anything it should just be level gated, and maybe quest gated. but even if you finish all the quests, you can't get it until you spend another month or so grind out daily quests to earn rep to get to exalted. for content they advertised as a selling point of the game!

i dont have time to get exalted, mostly cuz Suramar City is a trash zone and i'd rather do Hellfire Peninsula again. so i guess ill never get to see these new allied races.

great job blizzard.

You could just wait and play the two new races that aren't going to require reputation.

And if you're already playing Legion, you need reputation anyway to unlock flying in the Broken Isles. And Suramar is piss easy now that you (hopefully) massively outgear it.

...and if gaining rep is that time-consuming, I don't know why you're going to be leveling four new characters.

oh yeah cuz i wanna roll a troll and have armor look dumb on me again

cuz leveling is a lot more fun than rep grinding.

Dailies in full retail price games are pretty suss

It doesn't take much time at all to get exalted. If you just finish all the zones and do the emissary cahces a few times you are done. Also, Suramar was a highlight of the game. Your fault for not finishing.

A) Stupid post, it's an MMO
B) You don't need to buy or sub to WoW with money.

They should let you purchase a shortcut kit

You would have had enough time to hit exalted several times over by just playing the fucking game.
---

stop telling me its easy or i should have done it already. thats not fucking the point

THE POINT IS BLIZZARD IS SAYING 'HEY OUR NEW EXPAC HAS ALLIED RACES'
'COOL HERES MY MONEY'
'THANKS!'
'HEY WHERES MY RACES?'
'NOPE!'

Your fault for not reading that they were gated before paying for the expac?

Anyways, they didn't even have to put them out with the preorder, and could've left them for the release, which would've given you even more time.

Oh I didn't read WoW, I thought it said waw, like world at war, like, a new CoD
---

Weve known the requirements for unlocking the races for months. Its completely your fault for not taking that time to get them unlocked.

And you still have lots of time to unlock them and max them out before BfA even comes out.

It's not even a grind dude. If it's hardcore raiding or something, I'll give it to you, but it's just simple questing. You just play through Suramar like a regular game. If you don't have time to play, why even buy the game?

Also that excuse of yours is beyond pathetic. Most people I play with have full time jobs and families. Many of them even have little kids to take care of.

No. But you have 6+ fucking months to do it if you don't preorder.

WoW's fanbase is absolute garbage. So glad I left those pussy casuals behind.

still. its a matter of principle

say im a new wow player. "oh cool these nightborne folks look fun!" and i pay 70 dollars for the game. i go to roll it and NOPE! you need a 110 character! okay.. so i use my boost and NOPE! you need to do all the quests! okay so i do that.. and NOPE! you need to do more quests! finally do it and NOW I CAN START PLAYING THE GAME AT LEVEL 1

meanwhile, the fat try hards with no lives in the fedoras, many of which have posted here, are schoffing "lol scrub. should just play the game 24/7 like i do. brb gonna post on /r/NEET about how im going to kill myself when my parents die"

Unlockables have been part of gaming for ages. I'm sorry that you have to earn stuff? Is that something that gamers don't want anymore? Do they just want pay to win?

what if back in 2008 you had to grind rep with a random end game factions in BC to roll a death knight. and then they never changed that. 10 years later and i wanna roll a dk, and i can't. cuz i didn't do some DUMB content when it was out

"YOU HAD 10 YEARS YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE IT"

god damn you're all like a bunch of seagulls.

Bro it takes zero effort to unlock it. You can casually play a little bit a day and unlock the races. Stop whining. Like I said earlier, most people playing this game are in the older crowd now. We have full-time jobs and other commitments.

If you can't play a few hours a week, then you shouldn't even buy the game. Go do whatever else you are doing because I know for a fact that a fulltime job and girlfriend doesn't take up your entire week.
