Guild Challenge System Changes

During our maintenance period earlier today, we deployed a hotfix that will change the way players receive credit for completing Guild Challenges in dungeons. Challenge credit will now only be awarded for completing a current-expansion (i.e. Warlords) dungeon while in a guild group.

To offset this new restriction, Challenge credit will now be awarded whether or not the Dungeon Finder was used to queue for the dungeon – notably, this means that you can now gain Guild Challenge credit by completing a Mythic dungeon in a guild group. As an additional benefit, we are increasing the gold awarded by Guild Challenges of all types, by roughly 50%.

Timewalking dungeons will no longer give guild challenge credit.

well this F************ sucks.....

Wth it didn't need to be "fixed." Fun. Nerfed

I might (not agree with but) understand the challenge change for lowbie (gray) dungeons but I do not understand the Timewalking thing.

[edit] I did also see that they changed Baleful gear so you cannot trade to other group members anymore. :/
[edit2] Hmm...I was able to trade a baleful cloak but not some of the rest; not sure what's going on there.

Bah....

And why was it so important it had to be a hotfix?

Yeah, I was working on a complete set of fresh accounts. Had already started upgrading my Heirloom gear. Now I have a full set of upgraded Leather, and max 60 Cloth and Plate, fun. Boosting my main team to 90 tomorrow, so not the end of the world but it is annoying.

It isn't the big things that made me quit wow, it is all these little things. Those quality of life issues that they keep messing with. I really liked leveling up a team and doing the appropriate level dungeons with them. The guild bonus was really easy to knock out with those teams. Just ridiculous. This is the first year since '09 that I didn't stream Blizzcon because I really think they are losing focus on what made wow a 'fun' game. /smdh

baleful items from rares are on personal loot, only the baleful drops from mobs will be tradeable.

Is the game really threatened by people grinding out 500 gold a week from Stocks? This seems completely pointless.

This is prolly done for the botters which tend to make scripts that not only run instances but also hop guilds in the process. Unless that was already fixed a long time ago, but I don't think so.
