Can't push Gladiator- nobody playing

PVP Arenas

I’m 2200 CR in 3s, been glad before, and started this season late. There are legit no teams in LFG on horde around this CR that are looking for teammates to try and push to 2400. I don’t have a job so all throughout the week at various times I have been looking and it’s the same. There WAS a druid at 2200 CR looking to only play LLD/L$D or whatever, I am not one of those classes, and I’ve seen him in LFG all week looking.

I have tried settling for 2100ish/2050+ people and that only tanks my rating. Even if I maintain a positive w/l with the people the rating/mmr is so deflated and lower that I lose rating.

This is the most dead I’ve ever seen this game/arena in particular. It literally feels like I’m playing one of those weird private servers that like 100 people play on for whatever reason and its hosted in Russia.

p.s. what the good sites to tell if people bought glad recently?

Sadly think most people tanked their rating at this point to sell carries. Feels like it, anyway.

Yep, looks right.

you should’ve tried a retail character, much easier to get arenas

This is the default character it put me ohjn when I logged into the forums and when I try to switch characters the dropdown is blank

Unfortunately unless you tried to push glad at the beginning of the season it might be too late. I haven’t played my main in months.

I am more focused on TBC and playing that shaman. I think there are a lot of people like me who are doing that as well.

It’s too late bud. Especially with TBC launch, I doubt even the 2 week warning will bring any significant amount of players back.

The entire gear progression system has caused everyone to tank hard. I got my glad back in… feb? It was an absolute struggle getting 2100 on my ret last month. I haven’t logged on retail in a hot minute myself

Generally in the past, pushing glad through lfg wasn’t really a thing. In the last few seasons it was due to crazy rating inflation. But its definitely still possible to push glad with a team.

i think inflation is <<< as a culprit here compared to just the change glad underwent being something you could grind out solo and finish during a season instead of at the end

It really does feel like that. Same with rated bgs

I’m trying to push on horde side too I am retired (no I’m not super old lol just got lucky) so I can play pretty much whenever. I have no CR in 3s but I have a full 220 geared WW monk I’d be willing to try to help you with if we could find one more we would just have to grind out games.

MMR is meme level screwed up rn.

Qued during the day yesterday around 25 mmr (the mmr ud assume people farming there glad wins should be at)

It was hansol queing godcomp, dipi stahp and corey queing godcomp and hotsjkpurge and woopy playing turbo. All of these players have chars or have been 31+ cr this season I don’t really see how your average glad pusher is expected to have a chance.

Fixing mmr would make the average players glad push much more realistic…

What time are you queueing at? This has actually been one of the most popular seasons of PVP – per Blizzard’s internal data.

In my personal experience, playing at prime time, I see queues pretty quickly still. That could be because I’m competing at the top of the ladder though. :man_shrugging:

I’ll check on my alt to see if 2200 queues are popping.

Yeah, me too. It must be a bug of some sort. I’ll submit a bug report.

Alliance is actually worse. I’m trying to push Elite, but like when I go into LFG there’s like NO ONE above 1800. :flushed: :hushed: :astonished: :astonished: :astonished:

:thinking: :face_with_monocle: who?

I have zero idea what you’re talking about. If you’re trying to queue double dps, then yeah i’m going to decline you. Not interested. Have a problem with that, then dont apply. /shrug :wink:

‘recent seasons’ was some serious low bars from the last half of failing BfA

participation sucks with most briefly touching it and then bailing
