wow Blizzard Reverting Frog Farmer Power Gains from Extreme Abusers, Gives 40K Bronze to the Rest

[Staff 1,488]

A small number of frog farmers that received an extreme advantage that has distorted gameplay in MoP remix will have their cloak power reverted, according to Blizzard. The rest will receive 40K Bronze!

For players that didn't take advantage of frog farming, Blizzard is providing 3 additional quests with large Bronze rewards for reaching levels 50, 60, and 70. The quests will be available from Momentus the item upgrade at the Jade Forest infinite Bazaar. The quests provide characters a total of 40K Bronze.

We have been monitoring the impact of the Gulp Frog farming that some players did during the first three days of WoW Remix. We’ve also been working on ways to respond to player feedback about Bronze acquisition, increased difficulty at higher levels, and feeling too far behind those who took advantage of the frogs.

A small number of players received an extreme advantage that has distorted the gameplay experience for some in WoW Remix. With hotfixes later today, May 24, we will adjust characters with an unreasonably large number of Gulp Frog kills prior to the loot bug fix, and those players will see the power of their Cloak of Infinite Potential reduced to an amount that a very engaged player could reasonably achieve. This change will have a larger impact on players who took advantage of the situation for longer.

For everyone that did not take advantage of the frog farming, we’re providing three additional quests with large Bronze rewards for reaching levels 50, 60, and 70. These quests will become available from Momentus the item upgrader at the Jade Forest Infinite Bazaar. These milestone quests will grant characters an additional 3,000, 7,000, and 30,000 Bronze, respectively. Level 70 Timerunners will be able to complete all three quests immediately for 40,000 additional Bronze when this change takes effect. Characters that killed an unreasonably large number of Gulp Frogs will not be eligible for these quests.

We believe these milestone quests and the additional Bronze they grant will make playing Remix more rewarding for primary and secondary characters for the duration of the event. Players may choose to use this Bronze to upgrade their gear or purchase cosmetic rewards at the Infinite Bazaar, depending on their personal goals for that character. These milestone quests will be available for all Timerunning characters that are leveled up for the duration of the event.

We will continue to monitor the gameplay landscape of Remix and make improvements as needed. Thank you for your feedback!

I wonder if it's better now to get some hyper-jacked cloak with exp gains and hit 70 then buy stuff and delete.

The way they worded this is a blatant lie. I only had 31k stamina on cloak and only 372 ilvl. I didn't do any 4x4 farms of frogs. I lost 40% of my cloak stats to this false detection. I have unsubscribed my 12 month sub.

If you took part in ANY hyperspawn farm, they rolled you back. Not just frogs.

Asmongold live streamed frog farming and didn't get rolled back. SoulSoBreezy did Heart of Fear trash farming as a tank (which i then copied). I got rolled back and Soul didn't. Blizzard clearly has different rules for content creators.

This is why this powercreep remix is weird. Want to work hard farming? You get the nerf. Luckily im not into this crap event.
