arena battlegroup

[imabest]

Oh hai to everyone.
I played this server nearly 3 weaks and i like it, but arena battle group is very bad. I decided to watch how many people were playing arena at the moment... and the number was 18 people when online was 335 people, lol. That s not good for me and for people who like arena.
Ofc i cant meke people do arena coz me and other players wants. But there s no strong reason on the server to go arena, coz you can buy s3 for honor ( which make it almost free, coz it can be earned for 3-5 days). And there s no really big difference between S3 and S4, so many players just dont need s4 and arena, also when there s donate (but i will not speak about donate).
I think, that the best stimulus for arena will be rating requirments for S3. First i thought that the nice idea is to make requirements for all parts, but than i decided, that it would be better to make requirments only for S3 shoulders( in borders from 1700-1850), wepon(1650-1800) and head ( 1600-1700)
Or other. The idea is simple and make people compete for s3, coz when there are many people in S4 and S3, you dont want to be in S2.
whut d u think about it?

Small rating requirements for s3 isn't a bad idea.
It will never happen.

yeah, and there also will be a problem with people who already got S3 gear. I think there are resolution of the problem, like wipe or annuling of all itemns and returning only S4 gears to donators or people who earned it ( these must also include Sunweel Plateu items and T6)
I think there are many ways of solution coz we got nice developing team on the server

Ofc, if there will be only two people who want it. But it depends of administration.
I think the s3 requirment will bring HARDCORE to this server. Even making s3 for arenapoints, not for honor will make the game better. Now its BG server. Also it will attract skilled people on the server, coz many people were disapointed playing WOTLK. Also BGplayers wont go from server, coz there will be enough s2 for BG nad PVE gear

I agree. Id go as far as yo say all s3 just for arena point and shoulders for like 1700 as the only rating requirement. Would get more people playing arena then and even if they arnt good or wintraders they can still earn gear through it, rather than bg which pvp wise, lacks a lot.

I really dont see it ever being done though sadly :(

guys, tell why are you so pessimistic about this?

for 1 simple reason,
everyone who already has s3 is gonna be like OMG GIEF MAH S3 BACK .
Can u imagine the loads of tickets gm's wil have?

as i sad, it will be nice if there will be no s3 returning. It s a radical way to solve the problem, but S3 will be reachable in arena.
People must to earn for S3 anyway now ( earn honor). Will be better to make blizzlike setup: s3 set - for arenapoints; trinks, feet, wrist, waist, cloack and rings - for honor. It will keep people on BGs and make em to go arena for set
Yeah, and if there will be only shoulders and, as example, wepons with requirments, that will mean that s3 will be reachable as before, but without shoulders and and other, and will be reached by AP, not by honor.
The problem is not to make people play without any chance to wear s3/s4, but to interest them in arena. If they try to get 1600 for weapon, they must go arena sometime and maybe like it.

yea but the fact that u need a majore gear wipe would be killing the server
alot of people dont want to farm the gear for a 2nd time and if they cant get it trough bg's then no one would play that so in otherwords this wil become a arena server.
this is a sensitive subject because in either way no one will be satisfied.
just leave it as it is cant change much about it anyway with out people raging at u

just look at BGs: there are many people in full S3. It means, that people dont go to BGs just for A3. Anyway, there are too much people that play only 1-2 weaks and than leave srver or play seldom. They wont play (maybe) if there will be s3 requirement, coz ITS SO ZOMG HARD TO GET DAMN 1600 RATING. I think, it would even make game more interesting. And yeah, if there people who dont whont to spend 2-5 days for earning s3 in arena, they dont play often. So server will not lose players IMHO
