Hello. I’ve been keeping an eye on Classic PvP, and I can answer your questions.
- Season 4 is our last Season with Arena teams, and it’s important for us that players are rewarded for their skill and their effort accordingly. Now that we’re approaching the end of Season 4, we’ll keep in mind the feedback from all of the Seasons during Burning Crusade Classic. We aim to be fair, but at the same time, we want to make sure that players are following the rules.
- Now that we’re not going to have Arena teams, players will be able to keep working on their rating, no matter how many different partners they play with. We believe that this will change both the participation numbers and how many players get to the higher ratings. That said, during the first Season of Wrath of the Lich King Classic there will be many different options for you to get PvP gear, including Hateful and Deadly Gladiator. We are currently analyzing the ratings requirements around these. We might modify some of the Hateful gear requirements, while at the same time keeping Deadly gear as the ultimate PvP gear.
- One player needs to win a Wintergrasp match in order to unlock the Wintergrasp victory rewards for that player’s realm and faction. We’re encouraging players to join the battle when it’s active to unlock the rewards for their realm and faction. With multiple Wintergrasps running at the same time, it will enable players from the same realm to have more than one chance per period to earn the awards. That said, we will continue to monitor the system and make adjustments as needed.
Thank you for the reminder of these issues.
