REWARDS mean this as I understood correctly:....once the flush has been done then REWARDS will be given in a Blizzlike way, note that this includes the redistribution of titles from the previous season...
Since,at the moment,there is 51 3v3 teams with more than 20games,you will then award 3-4 teams with titles if I follow your rules,having 1x rival and 3x challenger if Im not mistaken.Roel wrote:Teams within the top 0.5% of active teams in a bracket will be awarded with the Gladiator title. (no mount because no new patch)
Teams within the top 3% of active teams in a bracket will be awarded with the Duelist title.
Teams within the top 10% of active teams in a bracket will be awarded with the Rival title.
Teams within the top 35% of active teams in a bracket will be awarded with the Challenger title.
- Your team must have more than 20 games played in the current arena season.
Keep in mind that you’ll only get titles from the 3v3 and 5v5 brackets, the 2v2 bracket is excluded from any of the above but still gets reset.
Also keep in mind that there is only a top 0.5% if there are 200+ active teams in a bracket so being rank 1 is not always enough, not even always for Duelist.
-Do you honestly think this is right for a PvP oriented server?
This is absolutely ridiculous if you ask me.
I'll start with this.I know you are trying to be as blizzlike as possible but do you think this is actually doing better for server?I think the opposite.Me and my friends came from PvP server and few of them left after they realized how small motivation is there to do PvP,so in my opinion people joining this server just because of that will think twice before joining after reading your rules.You cant manage to have the number of teams which were on retail,but you can manage to give people proper rewards without the restriction of "min.200teams for gladiator title" means there will be a bit more people rewarded with titles and not only the "lowest ones" for their work during last 6 months.Roel wrote: Also keep in mind that there is only a top 0.5% if there are 200+ active teams in a bracket so being rank 1 is not always enough, not even always for Duelist.
This is actually good rule,I agree with that and even would make the number bigger,like 40-50 games needed for your team to be able to get rewards at the end,so 5v5 teams wont count there.Honestly,you play 5v5 mainly for fun not for expecting rewards from playing it,we see how many 5v5 teams is active and in this case it would be "free reward/title".Roel wrote: - Your team must have more than 20 games played in the current arena season.
Dividing by % of teams is right(again if you remove the condition of min 200active teams needed,otherwise it looks more non-blizzlike than blizzlike at the end of season),but in my opinion there are 2 major problems.Roel wrote:Teams within the top 0.5% of active teams in a bracket will be awarded with the Gladiator title.

-First one is that,as I heard,there is no rank 1 title(deadly,furious...-gladiator) at all.All of them came from different servers which merged with yours.Your argument will be that you have still s8 and it is just restarted over and over.I mean,really?If you are only wotlk server,then it shouldnt be hard to just simply restart the cycle of seasons again and again(s5-s8) with motivation for best players to have a chance to get r1 title and others.Or just keeping s8 forever but with proper rewards.Instead of that you have your season without proper titles and mounts.Talking about mounts,thats another thing."No mount because no new patch"-this argument doesnt make sense,since you are 3.3.5 now for a while I guess and you had several seasons already since then.And your decision was to not give mounts to gladiator range teams(because of weird arena system there are no gladiator teams) after season end just because there is "no new patch" and instead of that you put unique pvp mounts into your vote reward shop without problem,what makes it way more non-blizzlike than your arena system,because mounts should remain unique and only few players on server should be able to have them after what they achieved,but here everyone can buy them in shop.
About rewarding 2v2 ladder.You decided to not give rewards just because its blizzlike after s6 and since you are endlessly on s8 so there is nothing we can talk about.I think you should stop thinking so negatively and actually make changes that would affect the playerbase in good way.As far as I seen 2v2 ladder is extremly more competitive than 3v3,therefore harder to achieve high ratings/places so I dont see problem with adding rewards to this ladder as well(in 3v3 people can "farm" teams which are doing just 10games for points and getting high places for that,what in 2v2 cant happen).I personally managed to get decent rating in 2v2 and I must say that I had a lot of fun and challenge situations,but what was the point if you dont get even small title for that.I dont think you will lose anything,but earn a lot of happier people with motivation and having a chance to achieve something.I think PvE players shouldnt argue as well since if they dont do arenas often or doing them just for fun then it wont affect them anyway.
Final words:
Yesterday friend linked me system how titles were distributed on gaming consortium - Here,and thats the reason why am I typing all this.Tell me,if it worked so well there why it cant work here?This is very similar system how rewards were distributed in my old server,so even if there is window for changes like changing games needed and so on,I think this is the best system what Ive seen and have no idea why you didnt try to import it or talked with their gms and their opinions about this situation.
Thanks for reading and good luck
