Right, and Nightmare modes are fine to have, but they shouldn't reward better gear then regular mode ops groups, that wouldn't be fair to the bad kids.



We get it, you're bad. Arena really magnifies this, and it pisses you off. So instead of getting better, you come to the forums and beg them to not implement them.

that's laughable. my best friend is pretty good (high warlord from vanilla and a glad every season), the first season after wrath came out i remember him and his lock friend asking my wife to join their team on her pali (she's a clicker) and she rolled to a 2500 rating

Actually, THIS post makes no sense.

To say Arena or anything in PvP isn't about skill is is plain ignorant and stupid. So if you "pick the right class and spec" do you automatically win when the arena starts? Do you just push one button once and win? Even with an over powered comp, there is still a lot of skill involved, it's just EASIER. Simply knowing how to take advantage of having an overpowered comp is "skillful" in itself.

When things are EASIER doesn't mean that there is no skill involved, you still have to know what buttons to press and when.

If Arena was really 99% comp, then the guaranteed way to get Gladiator every season is really simple. You and two of your buddies roll new characters a month before the next season starts for whatever the fotm comp is going to be. Plenty of time to get to max level and get the new starter set to start working on your free Glad title.

Wait that doesn't work?

You picked the right comp, and started on equal gear. Amazed you aren't going to Blizzcon.

Maybe it's because there are players that can do stuff like this http://warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=198629

The quoted statement is an incorrect statement. Arena does not have inflated rewards etc. Where is it defined that Arena = inflated rewards?

That was a good rating for the highest rated players in the game on BG9 in TBC. Why do I think you are making stuff up on the internet.
