Let’s unpack the drama that hit Cataclysm Classic’s PvP Season 9 like a ton of bricks. From bugs to disappearing vendors, and let’s not skip the exploits—yikes! Dive deeper!
What Went Down at PvP Season 9’s Debut
May 20th rolls around: The Cataclysm hits! Everyone’s racing to level 85, snagging Honor Points, and buying Bloodthirsty gear. Gear up, friends, because May 28th is the big day for PvP Season 9. New Arenas, new Battlegrounds, and that shiny Conquest Point system for the über competitive gear—should’ve been smooth, right? Well…
Drama in Three Acts:
| Act | Disaster | Quick Fix? |
| 1: Overpowered Crafted Gear | Crafted Vicious gear popped up at item level 377, outshining Heroic Raid gear! | Hotfixed back to 339 by May 22nd. Crisis averted…sort of. |
| 2: Missing Honor Vendors | Freshly leveled-up players had Honor Points burning a hole in their pockets, but no vendors in sight! | Missing vendors saga ended quickly after a flood of complaints. They popped back up like daisies. |
| 3: Battlegrounds Blackout | New Battlegrounds Twin Peaks and Battle for Gilneas? Locked out due to “issues”. | Some players find a workaround in rated matches, but it’s a mess. |

Bonus Drama: The Conquest Exploit
Oh, and the cherry on top? A Conquest Point loophole let players snag all the gear they could buy, blowing past the 4,000-point cap. Blizzard’s fix? Pull the vendors! (Yep, the Honor ones too, because why not?) Took a full server reset on May 30th to start setting things right.
Where Are We Now?
With the dust settling, PvP Season 9’s heartbeat is steadying. The weekly Conquest cap is back, and you can finally spend your points without worrying about bugs (for now). But no word on if the early birds who caught the worm with that exploit will keep their loot. Twin Peaks is still MIA, and Battle for Gilneas is like a VIP club—only the cool kids in rated matches get in.
