• Marks of Honor mailed to you because your bags were full now stay in your mailbox for 30 days instead of 1 day

I don't think it's good idea. Mailed marks stay for 1 day for a reason. If they could stay for 30 days, that would allow people to accumulate marks for next week when they reach honor cap. So as soon as weekly honor reset occurs, they would be able to turn them all in instantly gaining huge amount of honor without much effort in that week.
If short period of 1 day is a problem, make it 3 days instead of 30.

Actually, holy shit, yes that needs to be reverted. I see how it could be exploited. If someones accumulates 100x marks of each kind which I think it's doable within 30 days, they would be able to turn them all in in 10 minutes. That would give approximately instant 8k of honor and proportional amount of rank points which progress the rank. So this gives players possibility to instantly burst their rank progress. At higher ranks people could abuse it to instantly get their rank. Also, this allows players to use this strategy to turn the marks in only after reset when the decay hits.

Example of exploiting this: within first week of R13->R14 you go from 0% to 40% and decay moves you back to 25%. Next week you go from 25% to 65% and instantly turn in all accumulated marks so you move to 100%. Gz, you have acquired R14 in only 2 weeks.

This will be changed in next patch so that the Marks will be sent with the expiration date of the next honor reset. So they will stay in mailbox anywhere from 1-7 days.

Not a single task Tier 5 / not grant reputation —even upon reaching "Neutral 2000 / 3000" status—despite the fact that it is intended to increase reputation up to a value of 11,999.

Thanks for the work you’ve put in, but could you clarify: is this a bug or a server feature? Do I really have to level up using "Indifference" decks? I crafted hundreds of Thorium Devices, went to the NPC, and essentially got the middle finger in response...

This appears to be Twow behavior but will bump it up so it is repeatable for rep up to 5,250 like in vanilla

Is it normal for decks to grant 150 reputation instead of 350? Is this some specific feature of this server?

Armory still crushing. Checked rn. Have some video, but lazy to download it, will do if needed.

I think the grind of the rank and the mark topic is moot.

Yes, you have an honor cap of 20k per week.
But you can keep grinding rank anyway if you keep playing.
If someone wants to get it over with in 1 really hardcore week, or two decently intense weeks : he can.

If the mark stacking prevents difficulties : why not ? It is QoL after all.
And don't mention "R14 needs to be hard", it was silly hard in previous system, and easy enough in new system.
Why do you want to struggle against this ? Mark stacking anyway delays previous rank grind up.

It is not abuse at all, just min max optimization, which is kind of the essence of wow to achieve better results faster.
