State of Blackrock, ideas for FIX
A) Reasons: 1) Hackers: flyhackers, interrupt scripters (tons of them). (Mostly in SQ, 99% not banned, because of name change, inactive GMs).
2) Majority of players are uncompetetive in PvP (Veteran player approved, multirival 2.8k+). Reason why Soloq/Dueq is extremely bad bracket design . 2s is boring: top rates are held by same players on multiple teams every season; and on lower rates there is no competence. 3s is unactive + farming dueq teams is unfair.
3) No in-game support (protection against hackers) or events (including tournaments).
4) Same meta-gameplay for many seasons now, with unblizzlike-fun patch.
5) Win-trading. People queing 3s, sq/dq on multiple accounts, then afk on one of them for other team to get easy ratings.
*For veterans: haven't said anything new.
**********This information is for players who are seeking 3.3.5 realm for competetive PvP. Read and decide before you play. **********
This topic is about comparison and facts : old AT vs current Blackrock, not a negative propaganda towards the realm.
B) Fix: 1) Antihack protection (scripts, in-game support via GMs).
2) a) Remove SQ/DQ completely.
b) Wipe all xmorgs. Remake xmorg system: best xmorgs from 3s, others from 2s , from certain ratings, starting form 2k+. Make xmorgs already setuped, players would notice your rate/skill achieve from your apperiance
c) Rework title system: 2s R1-5 only Rival capable. 3s R1 gets "wrath glad" etc, R2-3 glad, r4-10 Rival. Titles are too easy to achieve, bring back former glory.
. d) Wipe s8 gear and make realm progressive: PvP gear/weapons with arena points/rating; PvP/PvE off-set with honor/rating.
e) Disable mutiple same players teams. (1 same setup per IP, or some other mechanic) . This would disable same players multiteams farming top brackets and discouraging other players to compete for top rates, this would also buff titles worth. Check 2s and 3s bracket, aboslutely same players (just different nicknames) farming them (could count all those top teams players on 10 fingers).
3) With realm rework new players would come -> realm popularity boost -> GMs would be supporting the realm, meaning more issues would be solved and event would be posted.
4) Remove 3.3.5b patch, its been long time and majority of players who sticked through it decided it's bad.
Make 3.3.5a patch again:
a) Remove dementia (3s) and dampening (2s). This is major change, because changes meta-gameplay dramaticly.
b) Make weapon max iLvL 264.
c) make trinkets 264 iLvL max not only in arena.
d) Make bauble available only for healers and only 1 guy per team (this because of heal/heal/dps comps, like dispelcleave).
e) Remake world PvP: smaller zone, LoS objects, 5x honor, no dmg stacking debuff on kill, few floor, elevators.
f) as mentioned before make arena points, honor important.
g) Remove professions
h) Remove ilvl 277 ashen rings.
j) Remake duel zone: add LoS objects, more eye-satisfying zone like Trisfal glades.
5) GM protection against win-trading, some anti-afk mechanic in arena. Punishment permanent IP/account ban.
