10 weekly arena losses

[remanz]

Here we go again.

well he only asked about the 10 weekly losses. So we can just get that part sorted out. No need to go too far with it.
I, personally, think Qing together is no big deal. Really really low chance you get the same team over and over. And as far as I can tell, there are a lot of teams Qing at off hours too. So in other words, it is not a problem unless you are really high up in ratings and team can be matched for you are very limited.

If you 1500 and you trying to queue, you will get tons of teams matched against you.

Well... THAT was certainly interesting....lol

In less than 30 minutes, including queue times, I managed to get annihilated in 5 arena matches. Arenas are definitely different from BGs, PvE, and world PvP.

I wasn't expecting to actually WIN any of the matches, but I have to admit I was rather impressed with the expediency of some teams to dismantle my poor nooblets....lol

I do think that my 4th match was a bit unfair, being matched against a team with a 1900+ rating, but oh well. Half of the games down for the week, half to go.

Im in hawaii and play late, the only time I get a team -- is if I que my other group of five.

Unless I get home early and go straight to arena, or do arena the night before when people are OMG NEED PTZ! Also for my current BG that the shaman are on, there are VERY FEW teams. Hell 1200 rating is like top 400.... wtf seriously?

K, I've got a question here. This is for 5v5, so I run 4 accounts and don't have a friend on when I am anymore to fill the 5th and don't won't to pug the last slot. Since I've got two of my teams to 80, 4xPaladins, and 1xPriest/3xHunters, could this work if I drop a Pally and do the 3x3 with 3xPallies, another 3x3 with my Hunters, and do 2x2 with My Priest+slave Pally? I'd like to gear them all up faster than running the BGs for just Honor Points, but have never run arenas before.

Yes you can, but 5's is more points + you need to do 30 games instead of 20.

I'd just pug a random, the only thing they have to do is accept the arena queue and leave again. nps. especially if you allready have a team.


And yes, i'm still going reply to this:

Where did I say wintrade?

Seriously.


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

You're suggesting something bannable and then you're respond to the people discouraging it is not exactly positive. Maybe the problem isn't the people who discourage people to do bannable things..............

It isn't against the rules to play another team on purpose, if you are both trying to win.

[deez]

You only have to play 10 games no matter which bracket and have 30% played games. With 2 groups of 5, I play 5 for 3 games then switch to the others for 7.
Saves a ton of time.

completely true

[daviddoran]

probably also OK if one team only loses, and one team wins, cause there's no "trading" going on, but yes, its better if both teams actually fight to win.

[Coltimar]

Nighthawke, when I get back and rolling I'll make a team and we can take turns laughing at how you destroy me. Laugh-trading is shady, but acceptable.

My noob question about arena PvP is can I, with 519 points a week, get some of the harder to get items on my pvp team? A 251 pvp ring is much better than a 200 PvE one :/ Rings, trinkets and neck pieces suck on all of my 80s, with one or two exceptions.
