Check the cutoffs currently on ironforge. They inflated rating by like 400 rating. So for everyone saying they can’t get 1800 for wep blizzard is literally pushing you there every week.

75-80%~ of the player base still cannot get high enough rating to get a weapon according to those stats.
Rival is the top 3-10% of players.
Challenger is top 10-35% and they can only get a 4 piece still.
This is still awful numbers.

Curious, what’s the number you are after? 100% Of players should get full pvp bis just for showing up?
Yay! Equality of outcome ftw!!!
Personally I don’t care what % it is. I have been enjoying arenas enough. I feel like if I put more time and effort into finding consistent partners, I’d probably be able to do better.

I read somewhere that glad cutoffs are halved from last season, why would that be? I know a lot of arena players who uninstalled this season.
That’s exactly the number I’m after, otherwise rated PVP is a joke.

Rated pvp should not be gear based but skill based so honestly yes.

Are you asking for there to be PvP equivalents available to these items or for them to be banned from arena altogether? Perhaps you should start a new thread petitioning for it if you feel that strongly.
you want skill-based, go play chess.
I’de like to take this time to thank my pyro rocket gloves, darkmoon card death and bandits insignia for my rating.

Equality of opportunity for the win.
Participation is what is so low. From the people I’ve spoke to its even worse than TBC, which from my own experience pushing gladiator was already very very low.
Did you forget this an a large MMO and there are a lot of areas of the game you can bring gear from? The only difference is a ladder system being added, and lots of things are already restricted.
i dont care cuz i dont cry for free stuff on forums
I loved GW1 with all equal gear. but this is wow wotlk
You cry to have the PvP game mode die on the forums.
And I think you mean WoW WoTLK+ a.k.a. Wrath of the Botting Scourge with Many Changes™

Sounds like you got your answer ! Looks like all brackets have about 50% of the slots they did in season 5.
gear has been gated for 6 seasons of classic now, i think people are just stopping because the meta is boring
i agree BG bots are bad of course. since blizzard shut wow in china they all appeared
So then why can’t I log in, play for an hour (equivalent of doing 10 games), then every week or 2 get a piece of HM ulduar gear?
if thats correct, we losing 200 glad spot this season. the glad cut off should be top 0.5%.
which means we have 40k more people less playing pvp this season.
Last season active players on US+OCE is around 80k. This season only 40k active players?
I believe thats an api bug.
It would be cool if arena just had a load out for whatever gear you wanted, but you didn’t have it outside of that instanced content.
Not because I think the ratings are too difficult to achieve, or anything like that, I just simply think everyone would have more fun that way.
