Dead or Alive: The End of Season 6

August 26, 2009 :: Posted by - Stompalina :: Category - PVP

The World of Warcraft turns and seasons come and go. Gladiators fade to Rivals and even Rivals fade to Challengers, soon forgotten by those who rise to the top. In this season, a new set of Furious Gladiators are set to be named; for this is the end of season 6.

End dramatic intro.

Lets get into it shall we? August 25th marked the end of season 6. Lets take a moment to go over what this means for you and what you should prepare for in the next season. First of all, we have at least a week off from rated matches. You should defiantly take this time to farm money for gems and enchants for the new gear you will be acquiring because they are expensive and almost guaranteed to go up. Also get honor capped, stock up on stone keeper shards and battleground marks of honor. All this will ensure that you get the latest and greatest gear as soon as you get the arena rating required.

As early as the first of September, we will see season 7 appear. This means your arena points, team ratings, and personal ratings will all be reset to the magic number 0. So spend any extra arena points you have on an upgrade you have been waiting for or the Commendations of Bravery that you can purchase with arena points from your local arena vendor. Don’t let your hard earned points go to waste.

Season 7 will bring about more changes to the PvP landscape you ought to know about. 2vs2 will still award you points based on your rating but with that rating you will NOT be able to purchase season 7 weapons, shoulders, or get any titles. This is because Blizzard has stated they cannot effectively balance PvE and PvP around the 2v2 bracket which is the most popular at this time. With 3v3 and 5v5 they feel confident that it can be done and have used the 3v3 bracket in almost every tournament they have sponsored.

I’m sad to season 6 go but more excited about 7. Its a new start for everyone and again new rules for everyone. It may be the decline of 2v2 but the rise of 5v5. If your new to the arenas this may be the season for you! 2v2 will be far less competitive, so you may find it easier to advance easier than before. Very exciting stuff for the PvP enthusiasts and new PvPers alike. I hope to see you in the arena!
