We got people playing the beta right now and streamers chaining pvp matches for hours. How are we suppose to compete vs that? Can that be more unfair for anymore that can’t access the beta? Some will jump into TBC and know exactly what to do and all cuz they got acces to beta. The first pvp season will be a joke for streamers. Its like if a peewee hockey team played vs NHL players and the NHL players also practiced for days before the game. Give us access to beta
Streamers still have to have skill to win in arena and they still have to level up like the rest of us. They have no advantage. Also it’s not just streamers in beta.
The fact that people in beta can experience tbc arenas before anyone is a big advantage.
That doesn’t necessarily mean they are going to be better than those who didn’t though. The best will be the best regardless.
That makes no sense. They are going to have hundreds of hours of arena time with the tbc talents when the season starts. That is by definition an advantage.

Most of the streamers with beta will be r1 regardless.
All that aside, the funniest comment I’ve seen so far to “why no open beta?”
Because we will pay 15 a month to play a beta, and call it current
And people who played TBC back in 2007 will have thousands of hours of “advantage”. What are we gonna do about that, huh?
lmao

I was just pointing out the absurdity in the statement, not asking for anything to be “done”.
Arena has been out for years. You can do it in retail or even on pservers. If you aren’t skilled it doesn’t matter you’re going to lose.
This is true. But with 2 equally skilled and geared teams, the one with hundreds of hours more in the current game will have an advantage.
You can’t compare pservers to live btw. It’s like wading thru quicksand. Too much lag.
I never lagged on pservers.
What coast are you on. Where you using a VPN. I could play a wizard but melee was impossible wiyh lag.
No vpn. Central us. I’ve never had a problem on pservers. It doesn’t matter anyway because those streamers have all day to play the game and are likely better than everyone else anyway. That’s why they’re successful streamers.
Streamers get owned, hard, by retail pvpers in tbc arena. If you can arena in retail you will be fine, if you can’t then no amount of practice will help you

There are a lot more than just streamers in the beta.
You’re cherry picking data. SOME streamers are good arena players. Not all streamers.
You still have to contend with the fact that people who are good at the game are more likely to stream by a factor of X, because they stand a chance to profit off of streaming more than some casual who sucks at the game.
SO all things considered, your argument is vapid and lacking actual information worth considering.
You think I care? I’m not cherry picking anything. This is my OPINION. I do not now nor will I ever do arena.
The game has played the same as it always has so direct hands on experience isn’t going to do any good to people already familiar with the game mechanically
And the differences of talents and abilities are already available to the community through resources like wowhead
And actual progress certainly doesn’t carry over from beta to live
So people in beta are not going to have a real advantage over players on live
