Forum Buzz: Arena Win Trading

by Xias

Elf

The introduction of the arena system has been a controversial subject ever since it was first released. In part because many players perceive it as an “easier” way to obtain gear, and also because much of the game’s balance changes for classes have been primarily driven by how said class performs in an arena setting. Personally I think arenas are fun for what they are. I don’t go in expecting a flawless, perfectly balanced fight. No MMO will be able to offer that to you.

The problem that many competitors in the arena are seeing, however, has nothing to do with class changes, balance or anything like that. Instead the topic of the day is exploitation. Many higher-rated arena players are selling their ratings to lesser-geared players and essentially power-leveling their way to arena gear. The practice has begun to be more widespread of late, prompting a bit of an outrage from the average player. Blizzard hasn’t announced any specific changes to combat this problem as of yet, though I hope we see a solution in the near future.

This is particularly painful to the teams at mid-ratings, who fight, claw and scratch their way through each week, only to get steamrolled by a team wearing full season 3. Blizzard has stated this is not an intentional mechanic, but hasn’t gone so far as to say it’s illegal yet. I’ve always enjoyed arenas quite a bit myself, and it’s a pity to see the system taken advantage of in this way. I experienced the problem first hand on my warlock who, after breaking a rating of 1600, began to see teams that quite simply didn’t belong in that bracket. We were forced to eat quite a few losses before we came up against an evenly matched team.

An example of this can be found .
