It's just a miscommunication. It won't cap at 1k.

I think this was just a miscommunication. It won't cap at 1k.

Plan was for no cap. Seems like a miscommunication.

That answer was given to a different question than the one in your post. The original question was in regards to where we are on future sets, not all of what we are doing. https://mobile.twitter.com/bdbrode/status/851668611668234244

There is no cap. Seems like my tweet may have been misinterpreted.

This was in response to a Reddit thread that said "blizzard should have a QA team", not in response to anything Hearthhead said. I think they just grabbed my post?

Adding a reward for doing a thing creates 'extrinsic motivation' do it. If I offered you X for doing Y, and you want X, you might consider doing Y.

If we offer you more rewards for reaching 1000 ranked wins, but you already have 1000 ranked wins, we aren't motivating you do anything. Our options were to cap you at 500, then unleash new rewards at 1k, giving 500 wins of progress towards a new reward, or just letting you count up from 500 now, and not adding rewards at 1k. We decided to go with latter.

I want to point out that I think adding more cosmetic rewards is generally cool. I just don't think 1000 ranked wins is a better place to put them than say, level 70, or in Ranked Chest rewards.

People are asking for it. It's fun to see a number go up.
