Re: World of Warcraft

That's the old BC max points, but the rating system is still essentially the same, but slightly modified since you start out at 0 instead of 1500. Plus you have not only a personal arena rating but a hidden secondary rating that pairs you with players of your same skill level.

The amount of rank you move up has nothing to do whether you win frequently or not beyond winning in general.

Re: World of Warcraft

Um...no, once your matchmaking score and ranking settle out as "established" you're correct that winning/losing frequently does not effect the amount of rank you move up or down. But until you reach that point (IE, while you're under about 1100 or so, you tend to -almost always- get 40+ points on a win, and lose 0-5 on a loss) while it's still trying to establish where you actually are, the ranking change does not follow that formula.

Re: World of Warcraft

Let me rephrase it: Matchmaking value is a measure of how "good" the team is. Ranking gain/loss is a measure of how much better/worse the winning team was compared to the losing team. If you start fresh in a bracket, the game does not know how good you are, so it places you against teams of wildly different skill levels. If you perform very well and win the majority of games, your ranking gain is slowed, because you're clearly very good and still playing very poor teams, so it's unfair for you to get a ton of ranking that easily, but your matchmaking value DOES increase, thus making you play harder teams. The goal is to get you placed according to your actual skill as quickly as possible, while giving you the least amount of "free" rating against really bad teams while they move you up.

To rephrase what you rephrased. Basically the more you win the higher your matchmaking value gets, and the less rating you get so you don't "farm" rating from bad teams. If you win alot of games you get a little rating but you begin to vs people around your skill, making it more fair.

What do you think you could get on eBay for a level 80 paladin, with a tanking and healing set good enough for ToGC10/TOC25, and a 935 resi pvp holy set and a 1600 personal ranking in 2s?

I guess i'm going to say 180-220 USD, seeing some guy is selling 3 80's for 581 USD.

Re: World of Warcraft

Depends on the 80s. The distance between a freshly dinged and unequipped 80 and me is larger than the distance between a 1 and a freshly dinged 80.

His 80's are all geared for Togc 10 and toc 25. in 232 and 245's mostly.

Re: World of Warcraft

I got back into the game, got a faction change and a re-customization and all that good stuff. I'm also semi-interested in a server transfer.

Any Horde guilds out there looking for a healadin/tankadin that might be able to give me a home?
