New Arena Rating Requirments!!!!

[Rakadazan]

I am so glad that rating requirments are now going to be used in the next patch for the new season. I am tired of underskilled/overgeared players in the bracket facing my team when they are in full S3 gear and im still in S1 gear. If my team is in full S1 gear facing full S3 teams it shows our teams skill and their lack of skill. We finally hit our arena cap due to our gear, my teamamte still has 2 blues! I believe it will be 1 more season before all the scrubs are pushed further down and the true skilled players ( my team) will move into the higher brackets in season 5.

good ridence to point sellers!

I believe in honor and valor when it comes to arena, win on your team work alone and not some high geared player carrying you.

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

Yup i like the new requrements 2. In a way i think its bad that the casual "Bg" players get punnished by the Personal rating req to get the vindicator, but, if u look @the stats the "next" vindicator (S4 random epix) gives, then imo there should only be the best that have it. Why whine about it when you can buy 5/5 of the current vindicator wich have pritty much the same stats as S4's random epix.

I guess I wont be getting the shoulders so soon.. But the rest should be np..

IMHO I think that 2200 is a little over kill for the shoulders.

But with everything else I do agree with the change.

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

Apparently the armor is horribly ugly looking, and were all about style!! so we don't need it anyways!

Unfortunately, this will not get rid of the point sellers, or the pr sellers.

People will still use point sellers to get the points that they need. Once they have enough points, they will get a hold of a pr seller to get their ratings to 2000+.

The PR sellers' rate will probably go up so they will make even more gold out of this change.

Just my opinion. ^^

I dont like the ring and other changes what require you to areana to get them. But then again I think this game has nothing to do with skill. Its all about knowning your char and other toons you play against. Best pvpers play all classes and know strengths and weakness of each. Pole dancing is not a skill

I predict that the amount of people smurfing/win trading/whatever you want to call it will increase dramatically once this goes live. Small groups of friends will form their own Fight Clubs and get their PR up.

For the record, it irritates me greatly that they added PR requirements to any of the arena gear. The S4 stuff is supposed to be comparable to Sunwell, yet Sunwell doesn't have a skill check in the same way that the arena stuff does. Anyone can learn a scripted event--PvE is ridiculously easy. The hardest part is the same thing that's hard about doing 5's: Getting 4 other people together who have good gear and aren't retarded... Yet it's arena gear that takes a skill check (albeit a poor attempt at one) in order to get.

And before Eteocles comes in and starts screaming that it's about time you have to have skill to get gear... Shoo. That's a pre-emptive shoo. You heard it here first. That's right, I said "shoo".

P.S. Rakadazan, 2's is the most imbalanced bracket by far. There are a handful of truly competitive comps and then EVERYTHING ELSE THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE A WARRIOR, ROGUE, HUNTER, WARLOCK, DRUID, OR PRIEST!
