If you want to go 14 and feel "forced to play 7 days a week for no reason" then I think this grind isn't for you to be honest.
And this is not true. Most capped yesterday evening or this evening. I didn't even queue after reset this wed, even raided in the evening and I'm not even behind. Hell cap could have been 1,5 mil that most would have reached it without a problem.
The word "content" isn't the right one. Determined is. The past few months it seems EU and US alliance premades have been cutting deals on low caps with chinese because they (eu/us/chin) are afraid to get outfarmed by the others.
These caps have never been respected even and people don't know how to properly stack. There are always couple retards who go over cause they either just suck at stacking (which is elementary school lvl of maths btw) or they don't understand how the system works and think getting 5k more honor will give them more RP.
It has gone so far that now a single mage, without a consistent and efficient group, going loose canon was instantly "given" a br1 spot to him because the "bracket leader" (such term is pure pvpolitical bullshit imo, it doesn't mean jackshit) at the time was in his last week(s) and was afraid of him.
If you fail at stacking it means you don't even know how to use a damn calcutor. I've been getting perfect round numbers every week now, cause I said I'll respect caps until current players in br1 are done.
So yes, they're becoming higher and will hopefully remain so unless the future rankers bend their knees to the chinese industry of bracket spot selling.
We both know chinese rankers are selling ranked accounts as well as premade spots and therefore bracket spots for crapload of real money. The fact admins aren't putting an end to it doesn't mean you have to tolerate it and actually encourage their business by agreeing on low caps.
This week has proven chinese account sharers/wintraders can't even keep up honor wise. This is not about fighting chinese for bracket spots. It's about making them realize they don't have any control, power or rights on what they consider a market and make them go back to the good old gold selling.
Anyways I'm glad you got unbanned and feel sorry for yet another shady banhammer (note to myself : delete all addons and don't use any macros, vendor all elixirs of dream vision, remove the jump keybind and unlearn gathering profession).
