10 weekly arena losses

[Nighthawk38]

I have searched for this for the last three days with no luck.

Can someone explain to me again why I want to set up an arena 5s team, and lose all 10 matches every week ?

I vaguely remember there was a sound reasoning behind it, but for the life of me can't recall what it was.

Thank you in advance for your help

Because even @ 0 rating, you get points as if you were 1500 rated. You get points no matter what your sub 1500 rating is as if you were @ 1500.

This means you would get 344 points every week. If you do the random BG everyday and win you get 25 arena points, that's 519 points every week (344 + 7*25). This would allow you to buy the i251 Relentless PvP gear (Buy with Honor / Arena Points instead of Frost Badges).

Thanks Svper,

I knew there was a reason behind it, just couldn't remember what it was....lol

My pally tank already has all his relentless gear, but I can use this strat to gear up the other toons.

Do you wear the PvP gear in raids ? Seems like on my server that would be the only way to meet the elitist "GS" requirements that PuG organizers seem to have.

Or set up games with another boxer, its always fun and you will learn a bit and you both win. It will help you gear up too. Instead of just getting 344 you will get more points as you pass 1500.

Thats too close to win trading for my comfort.

Happens all the time. If you look on AJ teams post when they are queuing, its no different. There is no guarantee you will get your friend but its playing just the same.

So many people forget this is a fricken video game. You sell gold to pay for your subscriptions and your giving me shit about advice to help him learn and gear up quicker. lol

Him selling gold is not something he's recommending others to do.

Recommending others to wintrade to get more arena point with a chance to get banned, is far from advisable imo. Especially since the odds you'll actually get more points and a GM doesn't undo it is pretty big?

Where did I say wintrade?

Seriously.


Sigh, just another reminder why I dont come to these forums very often anymore.

Letting others know when you're queing and queing when you know others are queing is not wintrading.

Purposefully losing to the same team over and over and them losing to you over and over IS win trading.
