Season 11 has been underway for a bit now, and as it has become the policy on Arena Junkies, we have completed our end of the season access reset. Junkie users who have never received the Gladiator title and do not meet the new arena rating cutoff of 2400 are being reverted back to the usergroup: Member.

The access reset is just one of the many things we do to keep the content quality as high as possible. Remember that in order to meet the cutoff requirement you must have been at 2400 rating this season.

If you did have your access reset to the Member usergroup, please know that it is not personal and is done across the board without any exceptions. If you think your access was removed in error please send me a PM to correct it. Currently, once you achieve 2400+ rating you will be granted access again. You can read more about our rules and access in the forum rules thread.

great change. Although this should apply to every player(or atleast limit it to gladiators of current expansion), not just the none-gladiators to keep it as fresh as possible. Honestly the most "clueless" comments comes from ppl who achieved gladiator titles in TBC

Perhaps it's true, as a rule of thumb, people who've been playing in at least a somewhat competitive manner more recently are also more up-to-date, but as far as AJ goes, in reality, you have an abundant amount of r1/gladiators who're biased, bad mannered, and pretty much never contribute anything constructive nor informative.

Some of the best threads/posts I've read on AJ were written by TBC glads, and yeah, it's usually your average WotLK TSG/Wizard hero who appears to be foaming at the mouth whilst he's scribbling yet another utter shit of a post.

To add on to what Dakkrothy said. It's the tbc glads that don't even have current teams now that make the most clueless comments.

You have such a huge post count, maybe you should enjoy this time being a Member and just take a well earned vacation from posting? :)

if you think that's bad, I don't think it includes all the posts I've ever made in battlegroups forums and the 6000 posts in Rant Room.

This.

**Disclaimer-if the rules are ever change that 1 season previous xpac glads lose access, I'd lose posting rights and so be it. I don't play any longer anyway-just throwing in my 2 cents.

Some of the worst trolling and flaming comes from multiglads/rank 1s. Previous glad/few glad/previous xpac glads CAN be a problem (inasmuch as the content of their posts), but much of the time, those players are AT LEAST playing in the required ranged for non-glads to post anyway (2400+).

I remember a discussion I had back in s6 with a famous mage who was wildly bloating and exaggerating how hard frost DKs hit with obliterate. At the time, I was playing in glad range (2500ish). When I backed up my assertions with math, screenshots, etc., and explained why frost strike a frost DK's main nuke (because of the sigil), and that most frost DKs weren't using oblt that much, I was trolled, flamed, rating bashed, title bashed, etc.

I certainly won't claim to always be right, or that I'm that good of a player, but at the very least, my posts have always been constructive and on-topic.

When the new xpac comes out, if the mods decide to look at posting rights again, they also need to look at a new behavior system that more harshly and swiftly punishes offenders (a la EJ), regardless of how many titles someone has, or how e-famous they are.

Anyway, like I said all pretty irrelevant to me, since I doubt I'll play MoP-I've always thought a smaller, but more constructive community would be better than a larger, elitist community.
