To celebrate /follow returning to WoW PVP Arenas, let's have a contest!

I was originally thinking 5v5 but after giving that some thought, a team size of 5 alone makes participation impractical for a lot of people. I am definitely open to suggestions!


I want to promote participation in multiboxing the PVP arenas, where clearly we are invited to do so, and videos and streams can be pretty good at doing that. I think this is a good alternative way for people to participate without necessarily thinking they can be the best PVPer, because most of us wouldn't bother trying. I want it to be more interesting... and I am open to ideas like this that promote participation without necessarily being "the best" or one of the few top people. The top PVP teams will get different rewards than people who participate in other ways.

Well I agree keeping it to 5's is likely the best option. It is what most people do. In all honesty 3's is going to be absurdly hard for a majority of the people's class choices to succeed in and i'd stick to a medium by which people can compete a bit easier. Don't get me wrong 3's is awesome and I enjoyed it more than 5's. That being said there are people who box less than 5... so i think limit the competition to 5's but only require 3 toons played by one person?

Obviously I'm open to 3's being an option as well as it is where I had a majority of my own success I just think that the inefficiencies people will run into from what they currently play to what they NEED to play for viability/participation and needing to re-roll etc will deter people from trying to really push.

I think that its a good idea to promote people not being the "best" so the video thing could be good. I think that maybe you should do a top for US, top for EU, and top overall maybe? Or a straight top 10 at the end of the season sort of deal?

Maybe make leagues or something with 5-10 people who compete against eachother's ratings only? So that way you're not competing against everyone just have to be better than those in the pool of people? It may also help people strive to actually work harder because it is one thing to compete against a whole ladder and see top contenders above 2k and you're around 1600 and give up where as you may have those top level people in your "pool/league" but could have a bunch of people around where you are at as well. Possibly do small prizes at the end of each month for overall ladder participation and give out pool/league prizes at the same time and make them mutually exclusive so that if you get a prize for say "top 3" of the month you are ineligible for prize from pool/league play.so that it encourages participation in pools even with people on the higher end of the rating spectrum.

Just some ideas.
