I dont know honestly if it changed. They disabled on intention the shadowmourne quest to earn even more money by donations, the daily quests dont appear (the ones in front of the violet hold remember? that was funny to do), the server is laggy and you have to log in at 11 am to be online at 8-9pm to TRY to do some raid. I said try because server is dead, maybe some 10man run starts, pug runs are 100% destinated to fail both 10 and 25, maybe u can afford to do voa but i've seen some wipes there too (also on FOS, first boss) and the game is like 10 years old, this burns my brain hard...and most of guild disbanded/are inactive (like on Lordaeron) because 1) Que is really frustrating, you can't come back from work and have a 3k people que (means 4 hours waiting~). 2) It's Summer.
The drop rate from 1-60 is awful you never see a green item, you literally level with gray gear with no stats. Ashenvale bears are stronger than you, no matter what level you are, remember. And they are naked.
So you hit 80 and you are 1800gear score, if you enter bg you get oneshoted, not to mention the infinite amount of time you must spend to buy some piece, if you do pve you can gear max item level 200, and guess what? No one will group a item level 200 player. Even for a 5man dungeon they want 6k gs now.
So idk what changed? Maybe some pro AT player went here for sure, and overall player skill has improved a bit since this is kinda the "new AT", but beside this (not to mention people continue to script and hack freely), i dont see how is changed (in better)
I opened a ticket 6 times to ask to reset my reputation with a faction which i got exalted with badge before doing the quest chain and now im "phased" and they replied everytime with a stupid reply, obviously i still have my reputation exalted, i dont see the faction npc who gives me items, and i cant complete quest to see them because i need to kill some of them, but im exalted so they are green not red and i cant kill them (i already tried put "on war" and it doesnt work). So idk GMs are kinda embarassing. All they are able to do is press the ban button for every stupid thing like
Hey this dude said on global theres another private server opened...LIFEBAN!!
Hey this dude is doing Stormwind Casinò Roll....LIFEBAN!!!
Hey this dude opened a thread complaing about server situation and how much moneygrabber we are..DELETE POST!!! (and maybe ban)
Hey this dude is multiboxing 20 account, botting at the same time 20 different characters and ruining world pvp gaining an unfair adavantage versus opponents...but hey he is donator... good guy sorry...sorry
Hey this dude is playing a overpowerclass warrior, he donated for shadowmourne, he scripted,GCD hacked, wintraded, sniped, ddosed on everyserver he played on (hes famous mainly for this) but hey its *putfamousnamehere* so sorry, keep playing and go rank1 my dear friend.
And what about the pvp titles? The most stupidest ever seen. Duelist randomly missing. Idk??? Challenger top 10. Thats a joke. Its like saying (back on retail): "If you want Challanger you must be 2600+). What keeps you motivated to play arenas when lowest title you can achieve is RANK 10?? on retail it was 35% challenger and with 1700-1800 you could easily earn it. Here its like having a f***ing gladiator on the head.
So yeah, i'm kinda done with this server, im testing other private ones since the mafia on w4rmane is too much high.
