The cap's now 20k? You're kidding me, I'll have to test this
TwisterCat Mar 28, 2021 @ 5:28am 
Don't get me wrong, it damn near killed me to hit the 50k cap, and I think that was ridiculously high, but it's pretty sus that they lowered both the output, and the cap
Makes sense all you needed were a few boosters and you could buy every event pack with spending a penny. I still imagine favela thunt will be enough for whatever you need

So, from your experience, can you confirm or deny what the OP said?

Hahaha, if I could only farm 20k in 23 minutes, that'd be the life

AFK'ing 20k renown in a day is still an absolute vault-full for nothing, I honestly doubt that's the case, as it'd be simpler to just temp ban them for toxicity and/or macros. My guess, and seemingly the most likely, is Ubisoft realised that the "Siege hardcore" were actually willing 5 stack with boosters and play 6 hours of nothing to hit the cap, and Ubisoft, being Ubisoft, lowered the cap in an absolutely astoundingly lazy way to try and counter smurfs, who farm out all the operators in a week.

And that's the less-cynical reasoning for why they made this change, even as baffling as it already is. They could have always just lowered the cap to haul in the most money they can from smurfs, who already fund their company, and they refuse to sanction.

Well booster are now actually useless, they also put a PvP / Global cap. The "total" cap is now 50k, Thunt cap is 20k.
Basically with a full booster squad, to reach Thunt cap it takes around 3-4 hours give or take, then to reach the remaining 30k in PvP by winning around 75% of your games in quick match, that game mode takes about 10-15 min, compared to unranked & ranked which are way slower reown per min. It should take around 9 hours of playing non stop.

So around 13-14 hours per day to even reach the 50k, compared to before that it only taked 3-4 hours with a full reown booster squad in Thunt, or around 22hs of ONLY PvP. However PvP didn't got a reown cap, not it has it which is funny.

Wonder if they're going to cut the PvP reown next, then make everything more expensive in reown so people are encouraged to buy R6 credits which would be anti consumer move...

OR if they're also going to remove the reown discount from old DLC's operators, so people might buy even more R6 credits...

This change wasn't in the patch notes, neither was the store purge that happened in Steel Wave, where they did remove around 35-40% of the cosmetics from the store. At least they could've announced those changes, or have they feared/expected backlash? And did this hoping they can hide it under the rug, like the 2018 fiasco, aka make the global version of the game full "Chinese censorship law friendly".

Which thankfully didn't happen due massive backlash from the community back then, everywhere.

TL:DR
They put a reown cap both in Thunt & PvP and a "global" cap. THUNT is 20 k, PvP is 30k, total cap 50k. Due this to reach the cap takes around 14 hours, compared to the old full reown booster Thunt squad that taked 3-4 hours if all members were time efficient and knew the spawns of the bots; however now reown booster are officially useless and you burn money if you buy them.

This might the 1st step into a very aggresive MTX's model, most likely Ubi higher ups directives & investors are hoping people forget about this issue, so they get away with this. Like they expected during the 2018 fiasco, when they tried to make the global version of the game, "Chinese censorship law friendly", but there was massive backlash.
