Why did Blizz break the only way to find people to Arena with each week? Now with no search function it’s almost impossible to get Arena games in. You can’t just find games or search for 2’s, 3’s 5’s etc. You can’t see who made the group what is needed.
Are they going to fix this?!! How do they expect us to play if we can’t find anyone? Why isn’t this a priority one to fix immediately. What’s going on? I just don’t get it. If people can’t find Arena games they are just gonna quit.
This isn’t acceptable for the start of the Season. It’s equivalent to a not being able to enter a Raid. You literally broke this content.
Arena teams are bad, more people do Wrath Arena then Retail.
There are people doing it. With that said Arena is the worst format for PvP and overall did more harm then good for PvP in WoW. Wrath was probably the last time Arena was good.
MMORPG PvP is really about large scale battles not a mini-arena death match. Most PvP players don’t want to do Arena and only do it for the gear. WPvP and BGs are end game for PvP in this type of genre. Always will be.
I wouldn’t do Arena if I didn’t need PvP gear from there. I think BiS PvP gear should come from BGs and WPvP and the focus should always be there. Until then though, we need a system to Que for Arena so we can gear up.
yea i just found wrath arena unenjoyable. The meta is laughably stale, and felt like less comps than TBC. The gameplay felt far simpler than TBC.
Of course, TBC arena had a lot of mind-numbing matchups (basically chasing druids around forever) and general problems. Higher level play was far more nuanced than WOTLK, and had more decision-making and more (sometimes janky) interplay of mechanics
i would post on my arena char but its sub time ran out a while ago
Why did they break the best way to find people to PvP with?
There is no reason to make it extremely difficult breaking the best way to group up. This just causes participation problems and increases players quitting.
Ironically both LFD and finding arena partners manually (technically should not be cross realm and have arena teams) are both authentic Wrath at this point.
No they aren’t. RDF is the best feature ever added to an MMO in the history of gaming. Any MMO is better once RDF is there. It’s literally one of the great things Blizz did to allow content to be done and bring people together.
No, what I meant is that they took away the better system to form a group and replaced it with this crap one at the same time they added RDF. In my opinion, the only reason for that is to have people blame RDF for forming groups sucking now.
Also why do you need new partners every week? Ive been playing with (some of) the same arena partners for 15 years & when I make new friends I add them to the roster. Why are you having to search for arena partners constantly? Does no one stick around? Is it your personality? The spec you play being unwanted? Or maybe because you dont take arena seriously they dont care to play more than 10. Not sure the reason, but this seems like a self created problem. You can still use custom LFG to find pvpers. Or like make a single friend.
