5v5 arena Question!

[Skuggomann]

Hi if i buy a 5v5 with 2100 rating can i go in there with my alts ( that have not done enny pvp ) or do i need to have a spesific rating?



I want to:

buy a 5v5 2100 ratign team and loose 10 maches and have aroudn 2000 rating and get 1000 points on my new digned lvl 70's, is that pissible??

For points, yes. You most definitely can do this. In fact, this is why people are selling arena teams. They start a 5, bring it up to a 2000 rating and then sell it for a few thousand gold. Of course the risk here is that you may end up losing more than 100 points for those 10 losses. It all depends on the teams you face and they all won't be up in the 2000 stratosphere.

On the other hand, if you're going to do this to buy the S3 should and weapon, it won't work since those rating requirements are based on your personal rating, not the team rating. So you'll start out with a personal rating of 1500, but if you keep losing, you're going to drop a lot in the personal rating.

Ya, you will be losing a lot more points than 100. If the team is 2100 rating, I would guess you'll probably lose about 150-200 points depending on the time of day your playing.
You'll get about 2 maybe 3 weeks out of it, then it will be minimal. Overall probably more cost effective than having to pay for each characters slot on a team they are selling points on.

So best time to play wud be at aroudn 19:00-20:00 gametime? or?

[Ellay]

I would ask someone from a top 20 team on your server, or just ask from the team your buying it from and find out what day and time is most active.

[Silly Gooooose]

yes, you can buy it and do what you say, and get decent points.

Though I would expect to lose more than 100 pts.

150-200

Yes, time of day can help you to keep your rating as high as possible for as long as possible. 5's groups typically aren't sold as much as 2's and 3's, I've found. A 3's group will easily hold all of your 5 characters -- just play 2 sets of 5 games on each group of 3.

The trick is to find out when other people are doing the same thing that you are. For my server, that means late at night. You're going up against teams who are expecting to lose because of their sh*tty gear - so why not try to win? If you face these sort of guys, you can easily get your team rating at a stable 2k and your personal rating up some too, if you're lucky with the queues.

I'm sorry that is cheap as hell. Why fake your way to getting good items rather then just work hard for them?

Because no matter how hard you work you will still have to wait for your measly 250 points per week to add up to 6k+ to get a set of armor. With a higher rated team you can get in excess of 900-1000 points per week. Its not a matter of working harder, but waiting longer. Most of us arent that patient =/

I agree with you Diamnd. I'm going the hard work route with my shamans, even though I could easily buy a 2k personal rating for my shamans on Bloodlust. The gear just feels that much sweeter when I earn it.

However, I have to say I personally have helped out friends in my guild with a highly rated team on more than one occasion (I wanted to gear them up so they could arena with me quicker), but not everyone has friends who can pvp ^^ .
