Hello all
It's really sad that on a big realm like this 3v3 is completly dead. The last 2 Season when the server had a population there was no reason to bother with 3v3 since you got everything from 2v2 bracket. Now the pop dropped so much, especially the arena community due to staff decisions for seasonend and summer/ulduar content + legion release.
With ToC release already a good amount of player came back to Lordaeron and if the word will spread about the new raid difficulties im sure this server will be in good state again soon (8-10k pop). Then we got almost everything beside an active 3v3 bracket.
Currently Warmane team promotes 3v3 with:
- Rank 1 Gladiator title for r1 + Magic Rooster Mount, which cant obtain in any other way
- Rank 2 and 3 Gladiator
- Rank 4-10 Rival title
But all these motivation stuff combined with 70% played needed and atleast 2k rating for Gladiator only address a really small group of player (2-3 teams per season) to even bother the grind. Because the majority doesnt have the motivation to farm 1,5k teams who do weekly 10games for months and you also need to be top player here anyway since you cant afford to lose any games versus these teams.
But when you only motivate 2-3 teams to que this bracket it wont get active. Fact is the majority dont give a **** about a fancy r1 title because they cant get it anyway. But without the less skilled majority of player there will never be an active bracket. You see the same evolution on AT, without the casual queing 3v3 anymore nowadays the bracket there is pretty much dead aswell compared to back in 2011/2012. So how do we motivate the casual/"bad players" to que 3v3?
- Hand out more titles for the noobs. For example:
In PvE (almost) every PvE Player can get easy titles such as "Champion of the Frozen Waters" its about the same lvl as Challenger is distributed on Official WoW (30% of Teams with more than 20games).
And Duelist (3%) could be set in comparison with more advanced pve titles like "Starcaller", "Astral Walker", "Immortal" => not everyone had it but there was still a good amount of more skilled teams/player who got it.
So why is there no Duelist at all and Challenger/Rival only to top10?
Either you re good enough to not give a **** about these titles anyways or you re a less skilled player, mainly pve player, achievement hunter or whatever and would love to have som 3v3 fun for a sweet title.
-Reduce Rating needed for Gear in 3v3. They set 2k and 2,2k on official wow for Gear not because its a magic number but so you still need to bring some effort to get but its still doable even if you re not the greatest player. 2k during wotlk was about 10-8% of the arena player on the realmpool, t2 wep about 3-4%.
There is a big amount of people who play mainly for gear. But with this grind and inactive bracket they know they will never get to 2k anyways so they dont even bother to play 3v3 once. You can reduce the rating for Shoulders to something like 1750 and T2 Weapons to 1950 or 2000. These are rating you dont get easily and still have to put in some effort (like for 2k /2,2k on retail). Nobody will cry if there are 10% respectivly 3% of all arenaplayer running around with t2 wep/shoulders. nobody did that in s6 here either when almost everyone on the server had t2 wep, shoulders , tabard. I gladly am not the only one with s7 Shoulders if i get daily 3v3 queues.
-Remove this garbage 70% played rule for title. Last season showed that you need approx 200-250 games for 2k+ with its current activity. Now imagine your healer goes inactive after 150 games played. yes good luck to find another healer who is willing to grind 100 more games in a dead bracket for YOUR title only since he wont even have 70% played. If you manage to get within 150 perso + team needs 2k rating anyway you also have to play a fair amount of games in this team . its impossible that you can just inv someone and he will be in 150 personal rating range with just few games anyways.
- Make a Server Announce when someone que 3v3. So everyone can see when someone ques instead as of now they have to spam global chat

Howabout make an in-game message board where people can write in their name and attributes, and people can send mail to each other and make long-term groups so that they can get into this content when they're all online.

AGAIN? What?
But seriously, similar suggestions were made at close of last arena: i.e. remove all 2s titles, remove all current perma titles, give blizzlike % distribution in 3s (but it would have to be modified like % who are over a certain rate, or % of teams who have played over a certain number of games.)
It was made pretty clear by a vocal part of the pvp community who are on the forum that they have zero interest in revitalizing arena or 3s and only want to preserve their titles and modify the system in ways that stops/reduces chances of others getting titles in the future.
Staff have made it pretty clear they aren't interested in making 3s a thing either by not taking these kind of suggestions seriously.

This horse was beaten to death long ago and at this moment honestly, people who are talking about this have 100% necrophilia.
Obnoxious cleared this out at least 70 million times : "No".
That's why he doesn't even click on this kind of thread anymore.

Another misrepresentation of what Staff says or does coming from you? This is getting tiring, which isn't a good thing.
It's not on us to "make it interesting." It isn't broken, it just doesn't has people interested in it, which is fine. We are not supposed to "bribe" players into doing something. If the rewards that come with 3v3 aren't enough to get people doing it, so be it. Staff might create events, but this isn't a fun server to have something meant to be competitive and heavily filtering made "easier" to get rewards. It's on the community to make it interesting and competitive by actively playing it, instead of just complaining that no one is doing it. If all the people who complain were doing 3v3 it for could be enough to have activity and maybe even attract others.
