Recently, players have been discussing the rating system of the WCL plug-in, because players have discovered that the WCL rating does not seem to be as objective as they imagined. Players have even discovered that there are certain bugs in the rating system, and players can use this bug to get themselves a higher rating. As the players' discussions intensified, the official World of Warcraft also began to intervene in this matter. So what will be the future direction of the WCL plug-in?



Many people may not understand why the WCL rating is so important. The main reason is that it is difficult for players to know the strength of each other, especially when playing in a group. It is difficult to understand the strength of others. At this time, it becomes extremely difficult to form a team. After all, no team leader is willing to accept an inexperienced player into the team. In particular, an inexperienced player joining the team will easily fail, and once a failure occurs, it will waste everyone's time, so everyone refers to the WCL rating.

At present, players have discovered that no matter how good your output is in the raid, it seems to have nothing to do with the rating, because the rating given to players by WCL seems to be based on difficulty. For example, even if you are the top warlock with the highest output in the raid, because you are playing in normal mode, your highest rating is likely to be only 60 points, but most wild groups will not accept a player with a rating of only 60.



However, after testing, players discovered one thing: if you are a DPS or even you are in another position, as long as you enter the heroic difficulty Ulduar raid, even if your DPS is 0 throughout the whole process or even you do not output, as long as the other 24 players have completed the raid, your score will not be lower than 80 points. It seems that 80 points is better than 60 points, but when it comes to actual combat, you will find that this player with 80 points seems to know nothing, so players directly distrust the WCL scoring plug-in.



According to the official announcement of World of Warcraft China, the official speed this time was still relatively fast, because when the players were discussing, the official did not directly remove the WCL plug-in, but had in-depth exchanges with the WCL team directly. However, it is unknown what the two parties communicated about. If the official wanted to block the WCL plug-in, it would be very easy, but the World of Warcraft official did not choose to do so, but chose to cooperate with the WCL team.



According to the official statement, WCL has made outstanding contributions to improving the gaming experience for players, especially many players have achieved brilliant gaming achievements with the help of WCL. There are currently differences in the dungeon scores of Adonis, and judging from the results, it is inconsistent with the original intention of the gaming experience. Therefore, WCL has temporarily removed the function of viewing dungeon scores. However, it is important to remember that it is only temporarily removed and may be put back online in the future, and other functions have not changed.



One of the core contents among these is that the usage habits of the official server are different from those of the nostalgic server, so the official server currently does not block the copy score viewing function. This announcement has a taste. It is probably because the disputes between players are too big, so the official has temporarily blocked this function. However, there is also a sentence in it that the official World of Warcraft will assist WCL in combating data theft and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of WCL.



After reading this announcement, I feel that my opinion of the official World of Warcraft has changed a bit, or I should say that my opinion of the official World of Warcraft's operation team has changed. Normally, the easiest way for the operation team is to block the WCL plug-in or even prevent the WCL plug-in from obtaining data. However, this time the official World of Warcraft did not do so. Instead, it assisted WCL in improving its functions. I believe that everyone will see a better WCL plug-in and a more objective group score in the future.
