I know that there are always unexpected bumps, changes etc to the original plan but can you please shed some light on this subject?
Would really help the people who are going for top ranking since knowing what the reward thats on the line will get more people to play arenas and maybe each que wont be 10 minutes long.
Thank you.

I would like to add that having no ladder and no real information about a season very problematic. When I played on Ragnaros, there was an announcement that players need more than 50% of the games played to recieve titles within a team like one day or even hours bevor season ended. If you make rules about when people get which titles, you have to give information before the season is running out, or else players will just have to accept their fait and maybe lose titles they could have earned if they knew the rules before.

To run a competitive season that is engaging for everyone, players need information like "how much % i need to participate to recieve titles". On retail aka offical Blizzard servers it was always known how much % of players get what title while season were taking place. There was a visible ladder so players could compare, think about how much rating they need to get which rank, maybe even a higher title. Players could check other teams and report wintrading much faster. All these things are missing here and announcing such an important information when players cant change much about it, its not encouraging when its most important: the whole season when players fight for gear and ranks.

Please, when the season and its rewards are discussed, start discussing the next season at the same time and tell the players what you want to do before, not after the season.

Thank you for noticing.

The season has been out for almost 3 months and they are yet to announce if we get titles from 3v3/5v5, leaving those two brackets completely dead in the meantime. Every single high rated PvPer I've known from the vanilla/TBC part of this Lordaeron have quit, what the hell are you doing?

Wasn't Molten+Arena-Tournament merged together? Or is this simply Molten renamed to Warmane?

"There's a couple of more decisions to make and then it will be posted. When evaluating rewards we have to take in consideration the state of the realm and expansion. To give you a quick look at what you can expect, it will be most likely nearly identical to the last season with just the introduction of Lordaeron specific rewards that are not quite yet made.

It will be posted though in matter of days."

That was two months ago and still no announcements have been made. What's happening?

There were some interesting things posted in this thread before, but all got deleted. I dont think they have any pvp-quality-management at all at the moment, even though it was promised when molten and at merged.

If they cant say anything yet because its not sure when ulduar will be released, there are many options:
- let the season on lordaeron end, when the next pve-content is released
- if ulduar release will take more than 3 months, just let the season end and make another one with the same gear and no arenapoint-reset
- since pve-progression is going on, season on lordaeron could be placed at different times than others (reminder: s8 season on retail was longer than 8 months)
- say which % of what bracket will get which titles and combine it with a activity necessity. Example: 3v3-teams will get r1 titles if there are at least x teams with more than y games at the end of the season (reminder: players should get such an information at the beginning, not the end of a season)

Of cause rewards have to be mesured by bracket-activity, but the way it is handled at the moment is not helping anyone. If noone knows what to do to get which titles, the activity overall goes down. Thats the opposite of what players want. That should be the opposite of what the server staff wants. The staff could fix the problem without big efforts. But since they dont, what are players supposed to think about the intentions of the staff?

There are some interesting questions that i like to hear more about.
I started on Lordaeron because of the nonexisting donation factor. No Shadowmourne and BiS PvE equip are ruining the competition.

I hope you get it right warmane staff. This server has a great potenital
