Would be nice if they did that, perhaps they intend to bring it back
at some point though. Only this buff and the valor one have been
datamined, wouldn't surprise me if they repeat both every few weeks
till 6.0 comes, to give people something at least slightly different
to think about. The valor one did get me back playing my main server,
which I hadn't really been on for a month or so before that, so it
worked for me! Not sure I'll do much with the Black Prince one though,
it's such a long grind if you didn't do it at the time.

I bet anyone just starting the 3k valor section is a bit annoyed
though, no benefit at all from this! Should've been longer to let
everyone get something out of it :-)
