Classic PvP needs more rewards without a rating requirement.

Arena in particular is stagnant, new players who try arena get smashed every match until they just give up and never try it again. Even the 1400 rewards are out of reach for them and they just don't see the point in playing if they are never rewarded for their efforts.I think WoW needs to consider adding more rewards for players who simply play a lot of matches, not everything needs to have a skill requirement. Here's why.Today when you que arena, even at very low ratings you end up playing against veteran players, it's very rare to play against people who have little experience and I believe it's because players are being gatekept by rating requirements. If 1400 rating is out of reach there's literally zero rewards for you to go after. This causes those newer less experienced players from seeing any benefits to even trying arena, which means arena becomes filled with veteran players. When arena is filled with veterans it means that games are tough even at the lowest of ratings which than causes even veterans players to stop playing as they find themselves no longer able to reach ratings they were once able to reach and stagnating the game even more as only the sweaty veteran players are queing arena.If we want to see arena become more popular again we need to make things better for the inexperienced players, those players aren't getting hooked before they quit trying and in my opinion it's because the reward system is locked behind rating requirement on all rewards, don't get me wrong it's good to have rating requirements but we should also have participation rewards so there's stepping stones all the way from the bottom to the top, if the first step is 1400 it's too big of a step for a lot of players so they don't even try. Let's add more rewards that simply require you to win games but zero rating requirement. via /r/wow https://ift.tt/ip1qrKL
