Q u o t e:
Question! If the current trend of Algalon deaths continues per server will the rating requirement for 239 Arena weapons continue to increase until the same % of people per server have access to either weapon? Or will the Hardmodes and Algalon himself become more and more nerfed? Kinda like if he were suddenly made smart, and then rapidly experianced a process of dumbening, Algalon that is.

The balancing between PvE and PvP is an estimate on our side but we figured it was better to make the change now instead of waiting until a good chunk into the season or just waiting for next season. But yes, over time we expect more people than none to defeat Algalon.

Q u o t e:
If the number of players with high end PvP weapons remains disproportionately larger than the number of players with Algalon loot, do we get to say things like "lol pvp iz fer faserollrs" or "pvp iz eazy loot"?
Will anything I say/do stop these responses from happening?
Q u o t e:
I'm really confused by this change. Does this mean that teams in the 3s and 5s bracket, at the upper end at least, will start gravitating towards higher ratings?
Yes. The 2v2 bracket shouldn't be the only way to get high ratings.
Q u o t e:
Is the goal of this to get less 2v2 players and more 3v3/5v5 players 239 weapons, or is it to get less 239 weapons in all three brackets?
It's an attempt to try and make things relatively equal among all the brackets.

Q u o t e:
So does this rating change ONLY apply to 2v2 bracket?
In other words, I can get a 2200 with 3v3 and still buy it?
Because if it doesn't... that wouldn't make much sense since there are even fewer high rated teams for 3v3 and 5v5.
(btw, the fact that this change needs to happen might mean there is a larget problem going on here. That 3v3 and 5v5 have issues that are making the representation low)
This is confusing, did you read all the info in the update: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=16904263617&sid=1
What isn't making sense exactly?
