Done with Arenas till 3.1

[Ellay]

I suppose I had a bad night last night, and dissolved my team out of frustration. I'm enjoying PvE quite a bit right now raiding on 4, and perhaps I'll play a few games before the patch hits, but it's not worth banging my head against a wall trying to make something magical happen.
3.1 will be an amazing patch for us, it's probably best to just wait it out

rofl!

i've disbanded my team a few days ago... at the end i was 1823 and back to 1700 in 1 night.
...told everyone I'm just releaxing bg's until 3.1 ... but the real reason is ~frustration ;(

I will be honest, I check this site everyday at work and I check your ratings everyday/along with any of the great new PvE movies (Hachoo's,Dks,fuzzy's etc.) I for one really appreciate the time/help/movies you guys provide. I would hope you and others dont feel like you have any expectations that anyone has to live up to.

A thing long expected takes the form of the unexpected when at last it comes.

Sorry to hear that, I'm still kicking around in arena but currently having a but of an issue finding another healer, my RL buddy who has done it since s3 quit wow. Anyways the um interview process has cost me nearly 200 rating over the last few weeks haha, most team's aren't so frustrating but the surv spec hunter's and their outragous LoS abuse is borderline infuriating and a little comical all at once. I'm more excited about hunter nerf's than I am shaman buffs at this point, for all my teams, quad box or not.

I'll trade you guys my 1400 rating any day of the week. I suck!

Mr I'm in the same BG as you playing horde but I can't seem to find a good BG to farm honor for. I'm pretty much not trying arena ATM because of my less then par res (100), but I am looking forward to 3.1 and the changes.

I think the focus on arenas wont be around forever at least not in the same way they are now. I think they are going to change the arenas to be tourney only or maybe half gear from them and half from rated BGs.


Arenas became the focal point of PvP because there
exists in the rating system an easier way to measure skill. On the
contrary, battlegrounds shifted from the focus and the means by which
the most competitive PvP rewards could be obtained because there's
almost no measurement of skill. Someone could AFK their way to great
gear just as easily as someone legitimately playing to win every match.



We don't like this though, as arenas really are meant to be an
E-sport side game, not the end all, be all of World of Warcraft PvP. We
understand it's a niche game that's not for everyone. What we want to
do is revamp the battleground system and create some better
functionality to measure skill so that players have access to more
comparable rewards to those issued via the arenas. We'd also like to
provide the means for player to level up via PvP should that be their
preference.

What teams were giving you the most difficulty ? And any tips to deal with them at all

My current goal, if we can say that is 1650 =).. i guess its prolly a little high fora 5v5 but thats my current goal.

lol

rated BG's and AV = fun

i also hope someday they'll do a 10v10 arena or even 8v8

As for arenas, im only getting started, after tasting the sweet victories last weekend : 32-11

This weekend i'll keep pushing with the same combo in hopes to climb even higher.

It's just a matter of adaptation
