Arena Season 9 (Cata first Season info)

[heyaz]

Are these points for winning or just points for showing up? I wonder, if it's the latter, if there is at least a scale, to where if you are winning you are at least going to be able to gear up faster, but you suck or your comp isn't viable you can still eventually gear up, and the casuals can still get gear someday. That doesn't sound too bad. If it's just points for showing up and little or no more for winning, although I seriously doubt that's the case, why try? Leave it on all day while you watch tv or do something else for this insane grind.. half your team will be botters anyway and arena will be full of naked dancing players.

Overall it may not be bad, there are some comps I'd love to play, or at least love to be able to full gear out (like my dk ret team, but I'd rather eat dirt than grind to 1800 or 2000 with this comp, far too frustrating), that I know are never going to be viable in arena or high level BGs. But if a 2k+ level player/comp gets no reward (even if that reward is just the same gear faster) for that skill and effort, that's going to cause some issues. I'm sure Blizzard is aware of this though. People already bot, afk, and abuse the system to get gear from 2 season ago.
