Arena Percentage Calculation Off.

Well here we go with a QQ of the day.

We are all aware the daily PVP quest calculation is off when it comes to adding in to your accumlated honor for the day calculator.

But this is to much.

I am now going into my 3rd week of arena play and this is the shpiell:

I started on a basic 2v2 team, and we played 10 total games a week before last
Ending ratio was 1 - 9
The following tuesday (last tuesday) I hopped on to see that I had gotten 260 points from that weeks arena.
Not to bad.. 1 - 9 -- 260 arena points.

This past week I jumped on a new 2v2 team that had already a good amount of wins and losses (26-22) was the total I believe, and I formed a new 3v3 team.

I did 32% of the total matches according to blizzards arena percentage calculator, which was 10 matches.

4 - 6 ratio.

On the 3v3 team we did 10 total matches only with a 6-4 ratio.

I got on this morning to find out I had only gotten 310 total arena points from the accumlated week.
260 + 310 = 570 (give or take a few points.. i estimated on the 3rd number).

So yeah.. 1 arena team = 270 points, 2 arena teams = 310.
Well I hit up a GM by the name of Lythwar.

He tells me I only did 15%.. well that can't be right. The arena estimator said I did 32%.. and I simply would'nt have just up and quit at 15%, full well knowing that I wouldnt' get jack squat from that.
I did my arena games on a saturday/sunday so there is no excuse for my games not getting recorded as they do show up in my arena progress tab. The calculator simply screwed me over, this is the 2nd thing ive found to be flawed in blizzard's pvp based system.

For crying out loud you lazy lack of knowledge coders. Either get it RIGHT or take it OFF.
This is pointless. If the GM had said 28% or somethign close to it.. that would've certainly been fine.
But an entire 50% difference in what was actually done and what you guys's calculator said is bull@!@!.

Freaken sick of the work-arounds, and the half assed patches/implifications you guys put out that are half-massed coded at best.

Take pride in what you do, and beta test things before you release it to the public.

THATS WHAT PTR IS FOR YOU BUNCH OF AMATEURS.

$15 a month for a hack-job of pvp.

Thanks Bliz.

From our Arena Intro page:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/arena/index.xml

    At the end of each week, your Team Rating is used to calculate how many Arena Points your team will receive for the week. Your team must have fought a minimum of ten matches per week to be rewarded with Arena Points, and a player must have been in at least 30% of all your matches to be eligible for that week's points. It is important to note that the points you receive in a given week is determined by only one team, and not from a combination of all your teams. Whichever team you are a member of that would receive the most points after accounting for Team Rating and team type becomes the sole source for your points for that week.


Point total as of 12/10: ~250
Point total as of 12/11: ~570
Amount accrued for the week of 12/04 to 12/10: ~320

Your 3v3 team is, at present, rated ~1523; this rating then translates to approximately 320 points, which matches the proposed calculation.

Everything appears correct, Remless. Not so bad for lazy amateurs, eh? :)

Kurhan, this is a really old thread.
