0. Why are arena titles being removed? 10/06/2007 12:08:37 AM PDT
How is this justified? I made Gladiator on two of my characters. Now it's going to be taken away?
Blizzard if you planned to take away titles from arena players that earned their titles then why not announce this at the beginning of season 1. Rather than at the beginning of season 3? This is very frustrating. If i knew this was gonna happen i wouldn't of bothered playing so hard to get the title in the first place.
New color netherdrakes is cool and all to get players to keep wanting to push hard but forcing players to earn the title over and over? Just not fun.

Same as in any sport (lol e-sport). You want to keep the title, then you have to defend it.

Pretty sure this is a game not a sport.
If blizzard planned to do this then they should of stated this at the beginning of season 1. Not at the beginning of season 3. So the playerbase knew. Cause if i knew this was gonna happen i wouldn't of bothered.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/arena/index.xml One of the paragraphs toward the bottom of the page states:
These titles will last through the following season, and at the end of the following season they will be removed and titles will be redistributed to the new season’s top teams. Seasons are also an excellent opportunity to introduce new rewards to the Arena System. As the instance and raid content of the game progresses and powerful new items enter the game, the start of a new season gives the game designers a chance to add new rewards to the Arena PvP system as well to make sure that both types of content remain equally rewarding.

Q u o t e:
I got to keep my Commander title with no upkeep.
Anyone who had the time could get those titles in the end. Remember when there was huge competition after rank 11 and only 1 person could be GM/HWL at a time.

qft.
But, you have to admit, grinding ranks is nowhere near as fun as arena.
This is why we should be not refer to pally having "survivability". It's longevity not survivability. We may take a while to die but in the end we're still dead and the other guy is just bored

It was announced before season 1.
I don't; however, believe that it was communicated as consistently as could have been possible. It has been posted multiple times, before season 1, and after, but if you were unaware then I apologize. It has been the intention the entire time to only allow the titles to be shown for the season after they're earned.
I think as other information on how the seasons, teams, and actual arena formats and rankings were going to work were the more pertinent pieces of information (who cares what happens in six months!?), it was generally glossed over.
You're able to display your performance from the previous season, so that when a player sees you they can have some recognition of your achievement. This doesn't transfer from season to season as we want players to be able to advance in the arenas, gain ranks, and ultimately improve themselves and then show that to others through the title.
