Didn’t do it for the mount. Didn’t even know the mount existed first season because rewards hadn’t been announced yet

And if we’re being critical, a re-skin for the next seasons is kind of a cop-out, design-wise

I did it to compete

Health is just the slowest possible rate at which one can die, and the worst years are the last

Maybe I’ll be able to steal from stores and yell at children because people will assume I’m senile

Whatever you have to tell yourself, still sorry all the same [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You’re right, I did it for the reward I didn’t know existed, and then later told myself it was to compete

Your sympathy gets me through my day, Ty

I actually want to point out that arenas don't really take much time...you can get a really good rating just doing 10 games per week if you win enough.

I got a Deathcharger's Reins in my third solo run through of whatever dungeon dropped it, and people thought I was lying about it. I didn't think it was that rare a drop.

And who even cares now? I haven't played WoW for like 13 years or whenever that Cataclysm expansion was released.

It was the Time-Lost Proto-Drake that took some time, and again why did I even bother lol. Why did I think stuff like that mattered?

Ya true. You generally needed to do your 10 games/week because if I recall you needed that to be eligible for your weekly arena point reward for your current rating, which you would then use to buy arena gear with. If you didn’t keep up with your 10 games/week, you’d start to fall behind the gear curve and disadvantage yourself

You also needed a certain % of the team’s total games to be eligible for titles at the end of the season, so it wasn’t possible to sit and be a bench-warmer on a team and get a title that way

The higher up you went in rating generally the less you’d want to queue beyond your minimum 10 games/week. Once you were near the top of the ladder, you’d be only winning like 2-3 rating sometimes and risking losing 25-30 to a team 200 rating below you. And arenas were kinda like MMA in that sometimes unfortunate stuff can happen even to the best teams and cause an unexpected loss, like how even the best MMA fighters can sometimes get caught and knocked out, especially at heavier weights

Also, if you cared about your rating, it was worth sometimes considering what you were queueing into. Skill mattered above all, but behind that was gear and team comp. Certain comps had advantages and disadvantages against certain other comps. It was generally considered a bad idea to continue queueing into only comps that had a strong advantage against yours due to class makeup. Sometimes it was better to call it a day and try again with a better spread of comps
