Quote:Back on topic. I'm not really disappointed that I'll miss out on any new reputation items that blizzard introduces. To my mind that's a little like expecting free Naxx gear because you cleared MC already. Which, as you pointed out, is the real benefit of the new system. It allows for some vague form of PvP progression, unlike the current system which is really a one shot deal that offers no incentive to keep playing once you're done.
Let me clarify: I was disappointed in the, "ZOMG I WNAT TEH CANDY" sense. The ability to have actual progression and scaling from PvP rewards is a much better design decision and I recognize (and am pleased by) the long-term strategic value of that choice.
Doesn't change the fact that I like candy, though. ;)
