Wrath of the Lich King PvP Gear Discounted By 66% - Cataclysm Classic

Posted 2024/05/03 at 7:54 PM by PopularTopular

A few minutes ago, we significantly reduced the cost of all Honor and Arena gear from Wrath of the Lich King.This is intended to better match the lower Honor gains players are seeing while at level 80, compared to level 85.Specifically, we reduced the cost of everything across the board by about 66%.

It's still NOT correct values for cata. Most of the pieces back then costed something around 150 honor. It was common to see people who couldn't afford heirlooms to run full pvp set or pvp offpieces with heirloom like shields boots gloves etc. back then. I myself got some lvls from doing BG and equipped full set of brutal when dinged to 70 mid BG

someone even did research to show, that "low" honor gains (because you gain ~50honor for lvl 80bg with a 4k cap) are actually correct, and just the prices are not adjusted

it's not a discount but a fix, and bad fix at thatComment by MehvWhat about the rings, neck, cloak, boots at 264 ilvl? They cost about 200-300 more than the tier that is 270 ilvl.Comment by dwright13It's should not be a discount, but a bugfix. It's still NOT correct values for cata.

This is supposed to be like Cata was when live. All these tweaks to make things easier makes it pointless to call it Classic Cata anymore.

They did this to vanilla classic, tbc classic, wrath classic and now cata classic. So nothing is classic anymore as everything has been tweaked numerous times and all these things done to make it easier.

This is why I was against classic realms to begin with, unless it was regular vanilla content without any changes. Because players will cry and complain about things being too hard or taking too much time, and then Blizz would cater to them by making changes and ruining what the game was when it was the original version.

Just come play retail and you can enjoy all xpac content. At least with retail you know there will be changes, unlike classic where they do it sneakily and pretend it was how the game was when live.
