+1

I'd think it was ok if the change was made to like 20k, or 25k at its maximum, 50k is just ridicioulus imo atleast :o

Considering there was 100+ rank 14 players above 15k, yes, yes it made a lot of sense.

You only delay the enevidable. And so you get to 25k, let's say. How long before there's 100+ of them again? You see... we're going to keep running into this problem. Raising it to 50k only buys us more time, and adds a much larger gap. You cannot think in the present about things, you also have to think of in the future, and that's what I did. Adjusting them to 50k will buy a lot of time and make the rank 14 titles actually what they're intended to be --- rare.

Followup:

The only other logical thing to do would have been to wipe HKs then. But I don't think you'd be very happy if I did that, would you? The only solution to this, if there is to be one at all is to try to implement a system like the Pre-TBC one. Still, there is controversy there since there can only be ONE rank 14, etc. if anyone remembers the old Pre-TBC system. That's really the only solution to this problem.

You're taking it a little too seriously. TBC never had titles, and it wasn't supposed to. This is supposed to be a bonus incentive. If you honestly thought it was going to stay at 15k forever you're sadly mistake. We made it 15k because NO ONE had 15k when we implemented it.

To wipe the Hks would problably make alot of people quit so thats not very smart, i agree.

I remember the old system, and yes there was only one rank14, but you kept the tag once the rank was reached. That system would benefit the people that play alot.

I don't take it that seriously, i just think its rather harsh seeing as I can't play that much, and probably alot of other people too. I never tought it would be 15k forever, obviously you have to higher it to keep it rare, I truly understand that. I find it very strange to higher it to more then double what it was before. I wanted the tag, and I try to play bgs when I can. But for people with stuff to do on the side besides wow, it'll take forever. And maybe when im at ~25k you'll higher it to 100k? Is it even worth trying to reach it, idk.

It's just my thoughts of it :/

EDIT: I honestly thought it was a late aprils fools or something
