Nobody likes to go through this world alone. Sharing laughs and working together to reach a common goal is exhilarating and engaging. A victory shared with friends tastes at least twice as sweet. This holds especially true if you smite your enemies on the sands of the Arena with some friends, so let’s look at how you can find a 2011 World of Warcraft Arena Pass team you’ll enjoy!

It’s up to you to decide who and what classes will fill your team of gladiators. But before setting up your team and jumping into the Arena like a pack of hungry wolves, you should consider some important points.

A team competition is the most fun if everyone has the same goal and works towards achieving it. So ask yourself: what do you want out of the Arena Pass? Do you want to battle your way to the top, do some crazy stuff or maybe play some fun team compositions? Look for teammates who have the same motivation as you. You should also have a realistic view of your own abilities. Going for gold and looking for very talented players might not be such a great idea if you’ve never set foot in an Arena before.

Now that you know what you want your team to achieve you need to know where to find some like-minded teammates. But not to worry, there are many options! Perhaps your friends and guild mates would be interested in joining you. Maybe they know someone else who would be a perfect fit. You can also look through in-game channels, the official forums or fansites for brothers in arms.

But to bring things to a successful end you can’t simply march into those venues and scream “LFG Arena Pass!!! NAO NAO NAO”. Make sure to let the others know exactly what you are looking for so that you attract the kind of players you want to play with. Are you Horde or Alliance? What are your goals? Do you have a specific team composition in mind? How many members are you looking for? What is your experience with arena games and what do you expect of your teammates? Would you be open to playing with someone speaking a different language?

With all this in mind there should be nothing standing in the way of a successful Arena Pass experience with friends both old and new. So sharpen your sword and polish your armor—it’s soon time to charge into the 2011 World of Warcraft Arena Pass!
