New Arena Rating Requirments!!!!

[Eteocles]

This thread needs far more waffles and less people who think their form of play is harder ;p(this goes both ways; neither is easy)

@Los:
"At it"? We're having a civil discussion here.

@Eteocles:
If neither is easy, and both require skill, then either personal arena ratings are not required OR there needs to be similar requirements for PvE. Say, must be 50% BT gear to go into Sunwell?

In holland we have a saying 'water naar de zee dragen' which goes as far as doing something completely useless. Which discussing with you is and doing something like that to you isnt gonna happen since you only want to see the world from your own perspective.

And so yes I agree etocles, ill bring the waffles you''re in charge the popcorn.

I'd like to take a moment and point out that that's TWO personal attacks you've brought to this thread without providing anything either pertinent or worthwhile.

DIAFPLZTHNX.

I play 2v2 that is wear true skill is found.

I think 2v2 is where true class imbalances are found, personally.

Agree.. The super combos rule 2v2. Anything else fails due to class imbalances.

Jesus christ Mos I try to make good and say arenas aren't utter shit and you still snap at me for it...maybe you should take the same advice you gave me at the start of the vyndree drama and chill some :p But hey if you want 50% bt epics to get into sunwell, you'd have to keep it fair: pvp gear requires you to earn at least half the previous-tier's gear, starting at the Sergeant gear and working your way up to HWL, before you can touch S1, then 2, then 3 instead of ratings. :P

And while we're at it, make it so only 1 person on your 5v5 team can get points per week, since raiders only get 1 drop per boss/week, or make it so the vendor has limited quantities and if someone beats you to it that week, oh well too bad it's out of stock and you have to wait till next week and hope it's available, like we spend each week hoping something drops :P

In addition, make it so that you all share the team points, like we share Tier tokens, and you have to roll to see who gets to buy anything too. Maybe make it so that if one person d/c's or crashes, you automatically forfeit because you need your full group to kill anything.

I can go on forever yo, like I said, neither is easy. You don't even have to repair or spend gold(or mana) to buff up, nor do you have to fight through enemy faction raiders to even get to your arenas, you can sit in town and wait on the queue and get teleported right in :p The bottom line is both have their ups and downs; if you take offense at us calling arenas welfare Mr. Pot, please don't say raiding is ez script jokes for us Kettles.

Eteocles:

That last comment was directed at Ios, not you.

Your suggestions are compelling, but don't represent the relative skill requirement in PvE vs PvP, which I think is where the discussion is at.
