Wrath arena already starting off on a bad foot

For some reason they are starting the season 1 week after launch which is unusual.

Half the pop isn’t 80.
Some people barely hitting 80 today/tomorrow with no time to adequately gear

Big portion of the already 80 pop abuse wintergrasp bug to get full honor geared lol

Sigh, they can’t ever do anything right when it comes to arena. Just gonna kill the arena participation further as they did in tbc classic.

Playing mmorpgs for over two decades has taught me that this is always going to happen. Bug abuse early and hard!

Lol yup. I don’t even care about them abusing it as I would’ve done the same if maxed. Just start the season 2 weeks out like it usually has been. A week is not enough.

Sounds like they need to try harder.

It’s gonna last a decent awhile and it isn’t a big issue.

Skill issue.

Back in Wrath the season started one week after launch. MOP is when they shifted design to be one month after launch for the PVP season and raid launches.

Fun fact on the PVE side three guilds (Ensidia, Death and Taxes, and Risen) had all leveled to 80 and completed all the raid content less than twenty-four hours after Wrath launch.

I got bis with only 2 wgs prenerf for 1 piece. Took me like 20 heroics for some savage gear, 80 abs during call to arms weekend, and like 10ish wgs post nerf. 1day 10hours played at 80 and beyond dead inside for uneeded extra bis on pieces that get replaced in a few weeks playing casually.

Also the rating lock stuff that literally everyone bought for like the 1300 rating pieces like deadly belt with rating from tbc s4 is really dumb. Really shouldn’t be locked as it’s not trivial and making people wait for season to start to go back to honor grinding instead of playing arena is stupid.

Hopefully crossrealm arenas come out so i dont have to getup at 6-7am. Computer had to restart today at 10am and then got in a 6.5hour queue.

i have only been able to play a couple hours a day thanks to benidiction 8-12 hour queue times and i am level 80 i feel like not being 80 by now means you barely play the game anyways

Huh? From my understanding you have to be lvl 80 to purchase the gear.

I thought you have to be like 2050-2250 or something for all the bis pieces. :dracthyr_love_animated:

Was that a bug? I played s4 for 2 weeks and my 2’s was at 2k. And the team never dropped. Hovering over the gear for deadly never let me purchase it even at honor cap.

WTF happened to gearing up at your own pace man? Just play the game, no one is forcing you to queue in greens, just go get gear and then play. You won’t be getting high rated immediately anyone as most of the people you will be facing are gladiators and super try hards so it’s better to wait anyhow.

You’re probably lying. You would have to be getting over 1 mil xp an hour to be only playing a 2 hours a day, wotlk has been out for 8 days so 8x2=16. It takes me about 4 hours to get a level just from questing so that means you would only be 74 at this time. Stop the cap bro, you no lifed it and got 80, don’t be ashamed of it.

I used to pay my younger brother to level toons and fish, i wish he wasn’t an adult and still wanted the money to stare at the bobber. People need to start thinking outside the box and utilize child labor instead of crying on the forums.

You don’t understand these guys NEED to be max level and have all the BIS pre season gear before the season starts so they can get 1600 week one.

Bad rng stalls college life until mid 40s…you’re almost better off waiting for the prick father that would do that to croak and get that life insurance, granted somebody like that might make invincible a requisite to get onto the will…

Imagine getting left out of the will because you never caught Old Crafty.
