Low participation, game feels terrible without casuals

Would be nice to que anywhere around 2-2.4 (considered casual rating) without being literal fodder for people who live and breathe this game (not casual)

Would be nice to que without facing the same 3 people and/or their multi same class alts

RBGs are even worse

Queing this game actually feels masochistic. Please do something to incentivize participation and bring casuals back to PvP

0.01% of Players sure. But probably like 2% of the ladder

absolutely 0% chance that 1 in 50 players who q pvp are in the 2k-2.4k range.

do you know how many people are in LFG right now pushing like 1600

I mean top 0.5% is about 2350 right now. I could believe that 2% is over 2k. For 3s anyway

Hey, look at that. :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

Yea but dataforazeroth is all accounts it cant distinguish between pvpers and pveers

Ok so via checkpvp for 3s right now.

Rank 97 marks 0.1 (2613)
Rank 485 marks 0.5 (2421)
Rank 2910 marks 3% (2090)

Not too far off from what I originally thought

where do u see this on checkpvp. actually ur 2% might not be far off, just trying to remember what duelist was back in the day before it was 2100 by default

but again thats certainly not casual. the casual pvper may not even be fully conq’d out

Too high barrier of entry, too hard to find a healer, not enough rewards

Check the rank 1 cutoff 0.1% and then just do math

What barrier of entry you get an honor set and go? Finding a healer on ladder has not been bad at all, way better than SL S3 which is about my only recent reference point. I think having to be a multi glad/rank 1 to hit elite is crap but whatever.

Hey did we do rbgs earlier with you as blood? I was a holy priest and we held lm 2v7 on the opener. Maybe someone with a similar name.

I wouldn’t use casual/hardcore in this regard. Im over 2100 and I’ve only done 20 shuffles so far all season. I consider that to be pretty casual levels of gameplay.

The average pvper though is probably with ten percentile if the median rating which tends to be somewhere between 1450-1650 depending on season. Most likely at the lower end of that range this season

Idk 2-2.1 seems fairly casual maybe less than .01 over 2.4

In any case bring back casual incentives idc if it’s inflation or what but this is depressing

Players can be casual at any rating though. There a shaman in these forums that is at like 400 shuffles lobbies played at 2k. Would you call that amount of time investment casual?

Hmm. I suppose this kind of depends on ones interpretation of “casual”.
