Please revert elite set completion to 1.8k

[Boostins-lightbringer]

Wtb percentile placement (and other metadata) on armory profiles to make people realize where they stand in the population.

But knowing blizz they don’t care.

We also have to keep in mind that we’re having this discussion in an arena forum where almost all here, have the mentality and drive to continue improving, not give up, and just enjoy doing arena regardless of rewards for the most part. I would say we don’t necessarily represent the “average” person (or the majority) participating in arena.

They should definitely be 2k and glad not being % based is having weird issues with the bracket. People who can’t get r1 have no reason to push any higher so they either quit or bully lower brackets which just causes artificial deflation.

Elite sets need to be made way cooler looking again, and set to 2k. Not sure the current elite sets are worthy of 2k though so I wouldn’t even bother with it this season.

Another issue i see with “static” rating requirements like 2k, is that as participation declines, those numbers become more difficult to obtain. I would argue that 2k now is more difficult to attain now than in legion and expansions before that.

I don’t think 2k has ever been hard to achieve since i’ve been playing. Not even 2200 is hard to get to if you are just slightly above average. It does require a huge time commitment though and a partner who is also slightly above average as well. But no 2k is NOT hard to obtain even with deflation.

What you perceive as “hard” is relative. What you perceive as slightly above average is incorrect, based on the known percentages.

I’m only going off on what i’ve read on these forums.

See my above comment about these forums lol. The fact that we’ve already had a few people (currently above 3k) responding to this post, should tell you something about who the people that come here represent…and it sure isn’t the bulk of the arena player base.

@Tpbucs-sargeras

i’m terrible at this game and managed to get 2100 on TOO

I’ve low key been waiting for this to pop up in a thread.

It was inevitable. lol

[Boostins-lightbringer]

It’s an effective statement. Doubly insults people having a hard time reaching 2k.

[Necroraise-boulderfist]

What do you think is harder to obtain in 2s, 2100 on an arms war/ bm hunter or 1800 on an aff lock playing deathbolt with a spriest?

I’m genuinely curious.

[Doors-illidan]

He wouldn’t know, he’s notorious for buying boosts. lol

[Xelonith-malganis]

@Mud-icecrown

Elite set should be 2k

id agree with this if we were getting class specific sets but if they r gonna keep basic tmog set for everyone of that armor type i think 1800 is better

[Numb-staghelm]

After facing him on a alt I’m super convinced he buys boost.

I’m a below average player, so I wouldn’t know.

What % of the population that actively does rated PvP achieves 2.2k?

2-3%?

How is that “slightly above average”?

I’m not sure you know who dozer is, but he’s a forum troll who also runs a bunch of the level 10 and classic accounts here.

He is also famous for getting duelist with his favorite arena partners, Visa and MasterCard.

Point is, don’t reply and just block him.

I honestly don’t understand what that bar graph means. Can someone explain it?

• Elite sets used to be 2200 in Cata, they were reduced down to 2000 in MoP while illusions were 2200 and tabards were 2600. In WoD elite sets and tabards remained the same rating however, illusions bumped to 2400.

• Legion elite sets were 2000, tabards were 2200 and illusions were 2400.

• Elites now are 1800, illusions are 2100, tabard is 2400.

I think 1950 for elite sets is fair, especially since class sets will be coming back, just be happy illusion is 2100 and tabard is 2400 not 2400/2600.

Titles should be % again

it’s definitely funny how every season has had a dead point since they added static titles

With how terrible the pvp illusions and tabards have been lately, I honestly believe they should require 1750 and 1800 respektively .

[Numb-staghelm]

But there’s no issue with how it is now and there was no problem so I’m not sure why the change.
They should focus on other things. This change will not help participation any.

[Xelonith-malganis]

and without ur credit card u would have no elite set or illusion
