Is it? If I wanted gold, I'd farm it differently. One of the best ways is selling BoE shop items, selling flasks and potions such as Potion of Wild Magic or Potion of Speed, or farm patterns for Fastor.

Yeah what about we give gladiator titles to 1k rating on 5v5 to motivate the queues?
Oh wait.

I don't have a better idea, but we are not going to give eofs, honor, arena points or anything alike for people that queue 3s/5s. That would be funny.

If people want emblems they'll do heroics, raids, which are far much easier than arenas.

For honor they've got bgs.

Arena points if they queue 10 matches they'll already be getting it.

Not having a better idea doesn't make bad ideas acceptable by default.

Doesn't matter, it's about the same thing I had said.

3v3 and 5v5 give more APs already, but as it's hard to get rating in those brackets it's useful only for those that can't get to 1547 /1591 in 2v2, yet still not those "rewards" are not enough to motivate players.

Now I think we should go for it. Our population is not ready for full time 3v3/5v5 ladders opened, so having then available at specific times may reduce the things people do to obtain rating ("farming" friends, dodging more skilled teams etc).

Please vote because I wanna see results in a week.

l am offering different solution.

Instead of specific days, block 3v3 5v5 on specific time. Best would be to close it from 01.00 to 11.00 server time, since almost noone but "4am" gladiators are playing.

This solution unlike OPs does not prevent people who cant log on weekend, to do arena.
Also l said this time because Arena activity start and end between those times.
14hours of arena each day in active time is ok.
