Gear matching never got implemented, end of story.
And yeah, basically just grind honor and do the best you can every week -- try to queue at different times to see if you can get better matches..

****** NEW FLASH *****
Gear != Skill
you can suck with s3 gear and be below 1500. There really aren't that many teams with crappy resilience like before.
This has been a public service announcement.
hahaha that's great.Quote:
It's the Wal-Mart of PVP
If they made personal rating stay for each bracket reguardless of starting a new team it would be much better. So if you had guys who hit 2000 rating starting a new team it would put them up against a team with the avg rating of their team. They really need to get rid of team rating and just go with personal ratings. Its the only way to keep high rated players fighting high rated players.
I 3v3 with my current group. Im in the low 1200-1400 level and face people in S3 and some with S4. I just got my other shaman to 70 so I plan on testing 5v5s. The arena system is flawed. I have to remind myself of this whenever I play arena games. Getting 2k rating is going to be impossible with a new 70. At a min you need the honor gear s2 to have any sort of chance. Then you need to arena forever and try to gear up better. Skill matters, however, if you are outgeared from S2 vs S4 its going to be brutal.
My advice is to just arena 10 games and say piss on it. If you lose dont sweat it. Get your points and get the honor gear too. Use this free gear to farm pve heroics. It will give you decent pvp gear and allow you to skate through 5mans. If you think your going to be the next Ellay forget it. Maybe you could be an Ellay if you started boxing and arena S1 and been trading gear each season.
yeah, i just go for my 10 losses.. when i get some s4 and 400+ res maybe ill care:) i wish the game would take on a more DAOC type PVP...
wow that is fucking week sauce.
Why are they not focusing on this issue? With many games coming down the pipe one that focus on PVP one would think WoW would try to improve theirs. Guild wars got it down, why can't WoW.
cause they don't have to.. there isn't 1 game coming that can hurt them warhammer is a HUGE disappointment.. if anyone leaves wow for it they will be back the next day..:(
Seems like their only goal with arena is to use live realms to test things out in order to further refine their "e-sport". There's only 1 player who I know of and have met that really liked arena on my realm.Quote:

I didnt have any problems with arenas and we're on the same server. Just different sides. I did however get a full gladiator team from last season that took 8 points from me but i was at upper 1700s. The low end 1400 bracket on Reckoning is rather pathetic, even to the 1700s. it gets decently hard around 1800.
Also I played your shamans on letyoudown with some friends who never pvp. We were in the 1500 bracket. You need to practice controlling your shamans better. You also blew a volley of lightning bolts and your insta gib on 1 grounding totem. You also had your shamans standing around not casting because they were facing the wrong direction.
Because it isn't about giving people valid/fair/etc. competition. It's about providing enough competition to keep as many people happy at once as possible, which gives people the temporary illusion of progress, which keeps people subscribing. Which usually ends up annoying mostly everyone to some extent.Quote:
