The arena season on realms belonging to Battlegroup I is scheduled to end on March 13, 2026 on all applicable realms, at 19:00 server time.
All PvP titles except Rank 1 titles will be removed. Titles rewarded from the previous arena season will be available for equipping during the current arena season. Next arena season will end in Summer 2026.
Battlegroup I:
Icecrown
Blackrock - Battlegroup 1
Lordaeron
Players will not be eligible for rewards IF: (team itself will remain intact as part of a rank slot)
Personal rating is not within 150 of the Team Rating.
You do not have at least 70% of the team's games played.
Bans for extreme cases of MMR dropping.
Removal of the team from the ladder and disbanding of the aforementioned team, thus meaning disqualification of receiving any seasonal rewards in case of extreme MMR dropping.
We would also like to remind the players that MMR dropping (especially below default rating) or any other form of abuse can lead to disbanding of the team. We will exempt this while done to restart team with a new partner(s) but extreme cases can still lead to team disbanding.
In order to promote activity in the 3v3 bracket and due to naturally low rating teams occupying top ten slots, players will only qualify for Gladiator titles if they're above 2 000 rating.
Suspicious activity, win trading and exploiting will result in account suspension and in extreme cases account termination.
I'm glad that after so many years, the developers still care about PvP in the game and the server in general.
Open the 3v3 and 5v5 PvP ladder and see how many teams wintraded arena ratings two months without getting banned. Even though in-game tickets have been created multiple times.
Arena season and its rewards rotate so we have a few versions of this thread. It was just a typo and more details for the season end as usual will come close to its ending.
That's true. I have submitted three tickets providing proof and identifying patterns. For two of them, the response was a standard 'We will investigate,' and I still haven't received a reply for the third. It honestly feels like they no longer care. The issue is that this team only matches against Blackrock teams whose characters(and teams) are somehow deleted immediately after the games. If they encounter real players, they stop queueing. Every match ends in 19–20 seconds with 0 damage and 0 healing recorded.
title should be not awarded in solo q as it became completely trash and irrevalant for 4 years straight.. R1 is 2.2 its more than ridiculous. People asking for make the old solo q system back for years.. the system who allowed us to reach big rate such as 3.2
It's a sad sight, 80% of the 3v3 ladder is pure wintrade.
I won't even mention 5v5, they're openly breaking the rules.
Tickets are being sent in-game, but the GMs are taking no action.
Today is the end of the season KEKW
3s Ladder is not wintrade, there are just not enough teams so high rated teams get queued against lower rated teams and get +3+4+5 per win.
There, clowns ask their friends to que vs them while no one is in the que, and after they lose to another team, they immediately stop que.
I'm not talking about well-known PvP players or r1-r5 teams. This applies more to teams from the Lordaeron realm.
These players have already been banned several times for wintrading.
