Elite Weapon Appearances @2100 instead of @2400

I’m pretty sure that in an ELO system there can never be more than about 10% of participants above around 2000, statistically. So at or above 2400 is probably 5% or less. And 1500 is your average or 50% mark.

Edit: At least that’s how it works in chess, which the arena ELO system is a direct copy of.

No thanks. I think keeping elite sets an 1800 participation trophy, and upgrades to make them special at 2400 is a fair trade-off. You get a cloak and weapon enchant at 2100.

You need 2400 for the weapons?! As of typeing this that’s a gigantic ask. Not only do you need to fight off the sweaty glads but drop a couple million gold on crafted gear, gems, and enchantments. Plus you need a good team. Wild. All for a weapon look. Thought it was apart of getting 1800.

Like pushing challenger on league for an emote :skull_and_crossbones:

On stormrage, my server, the current BiS ceafted pvp gear like the boots, enchantments, sockets, armor kits, and gems will run you over a million gold easy.

The mats cost me like 10k to gather and then I did a commission for 5k and it was filled instantly

also the 2400 weapons are not meant to be an easy thing to obtain. That is the point that continuely goes over people’s heads.

Everything in the game is handed to you for almost zero effort.
This things not

ngl atp i think it will be with how easy it is to get rating in solo shuffle

Im sure Firewolf will let everyone know how easy it is every day once he gets it

“Zero effort”? Needing to be in the top .5% is a bit more then an effort. All for a weapon, got dang?

That’s a you issue.

What? It costs 15k per piece. If you don’t have enough for these pieces I don’t know what you’re doing.

Please don’t. We’ve already seen glad title/mount to be the most achievable it has been in years since BFA. Lets not do this again to some of the really sick looking PvP accessories we’ve gotten this expansion. We have enough incentives for 1800 and 2100 to encourage people to push to these ratings and obviously beyond. A good change with this would have been to make glad title/mount percentage based again imo.

You dont know about the epic gear in which I speak

yeah i def dont think i could get 2400 tanytime soon with its current players at that mmr.

its gonna take me a lot of games and a lot of practice to get 2400, i still have a lot of holes in my game… but i think with a lot of time, practice and inflation i would be able to get 2400 if i tried.

im super excited i think the mogs r awesome. this xpac is rly greta so far

You should feel grateful i even acknowledge your existence

It was 2000 cr for the mog and weapon. But last I saw that was WoD/MoP

2400 has almost never been top 0.5%
certainly not lately

in SL we had a season where it was like top 8% (not including 2v2/rbgs)
shuffle will likely have 5x the >2400 players as well

i think there’s too many rewards stacked at 2400 and not enough higher personally
tabards at 2700 would be cool

8%? Are you crazy? Was there 10 people playing that season?

But like you said. They remove mount, tabard, and enchant from 2s, 5s, and 10s then rasie the requirement for weapons to 2400? How off putting. Better be a glad 3s player with a ton of gold or no rewards for you. :confused:

it wasn’t particularly inactive
iirc somewhere around 200k

that’s not what i said

what i said was that 2400 is very obtainable in the modern game by players if they put in the time

especially now that solo shuffle exists

Might as well be a mythic raider too if you go for 2400.
