Its really simple why game is dead

PVP Arenas

Wow has had and always will have a bunch of issues but that never stopped the game from being active in the past.

The issue with the game right now is seasons are wayyyy to long which causes these massive deadzones mid seasons where theres not many queues in any bracket because there is 0 reason to play.

Make seasons max 10 weeks (instead of 5 months) and make the rewards actually look sick(not this ugly enchant and mount), stop making ugly elite sets like the pally one and then pvp will be active again.

Also each bracket should have its own unique cool set of rewards. Like bgb shuffle and 3s should all have unique elite mounts that look sick.

One more thing: the ladders shouldnt all close at the same time. There should be a 3 day gap between each one.

There’s this game mode that requires 16 people to activate and it has sub 10 minute queues every evening. The game is not dead, arena is unfortunately.

At low mmr yeah.

High mmr blitz doesnt pop unless you queue at a specific time.

Unfortunately not the case as well. Every evening into the early morning 3k mmr queues are half of what a shuffle queue is

that isnt high mmr in blitz

Seems more like there just isn’t much reason to queue.

Yeah… no wrong again.
With how volatile mmr is in blitz “high” matches ping pong from 2900-3200. Blizzard has moved/added rewards it did nothing. There’s constantly good elite sets those clearly aren’t going to pack arenas. The season shortening may help but guess what Bubblebuddy, if the masses deem mmr too low for their liking they just aren’t going to play and you are witnessing that in real time.

It’s really more that there’s always an easier alternative

Which was shuff for 2 years now it’s Blitz

I guess it also doesn’t help that there’s a bit of a rift between duelist and glad 3s with the same rewards so unless you’re gonna get dragon no point in meeting people to play with :dracthyr_a1: 50 wins above 2100 3s for old elite set when

Well sure thats true now, IIRC DF s3 when awc chat was raided with mmr smorcs queues were brutal. I would have to imagine TWW s2 holds a similar fate regardless of how cool the elite mog is or if they add another reward at rival 2

played shuff for an afternoon and not 2600 cr pls fix

Yes most people are ridiculous but the rating system needs to back peddle a handful of expansions imo every other idea has been exhausted. Forgot one, make PvP gear good in PvE again isnt that sinfuls story.

Ye, only caveat of blitz is the games played, queue times and/or weird queue hour requirements

The one thing about Blitz that’s very nostalgic is the grind it requires.

Reminds of the grind for Grand Marshal back in the day.

You’re wrong. There are active BGB queues from 7pm to like 5 am.

Even shuffle queues aren’t always bad. It’s just 3’s that’s dead.
