Sooo. Does this mean the current arena system is staying as far as x rating counting towards titles and mounts etc.?


Yep! Was a big part of why we decided not to move forward with Trial of the Gladiator. We wanted to make sure the Conquest ladder still felt meaningful.

While I hated the idea of TOTG forcing scheduled play times I did like the idea behind it. In terms of stopping sniping/dodging and being able to catch exploiters easier.

Do you have any plans to try to prevent these type of actions going into WoD?


It's an ongoing discussion and definitely something we want to try to solve, we just came to the decision that TotG was not the right way to solve it.
