People seem to really be upset about the new change to personal rating, but honestly it doesn't effect me and my team mates at all.  We've never used win trading to get someone rating, we've always leveled them up the hard way 2v3 style.

So my question is who else actually does it this way?  With how upset people seem to be I'm starting to think I'm the only one.  Anyways just happy our services will be in even higher demand next patch, and finally no more "empty" games.

We always used to 2v3 it, or have them give us their account details so we could play their character, loolz.

I pushed and pushed to get a druid to 2k in 2v2 but we got hung up around 1920 and called it off so I could do my serious 2v2 again, but getting 1850 with a sub-par player is pretty easy.

I'd say its even easier in 3v3 (I've powered a few warriors to 1850 PR by running warlock/druid/warrior).

I imagine I'll be able to make a phatty sum of cash come s4 by doing this.

Playing their account sounds like the most ideal solution though, it'd allow me to sell a 2200 personal rating to any druid who has decent gear, probably for like 10,000g or something (5000g for me and 5000g for my partner) since the 2200 rated shoulders are going to be super exclusive.

Ive sold 3 2v2 personal ratings and 4 2v3s the hard way. Win trading is stupid =p.

Imo you shouldn be selling shoulder PR . Only weapons, It's just odd to see some no skilled dude have the shoulders.
And even with the new change, getting a guy to 2200 is going to be hard, but still i would really be upset to see a guy with shoulders, and know he's not good at all.

The few times that I have made money from arena are when I sell PR in 2v2. Guess that would be "the hard way" even if it's not realy that hard.

[Cithdarrian]

Only done it twice, but both where done with me playing their rogue.

[Akagar]

I'm sure a lot of really awful baddies will want PR leveling to 1750 so they can actually get all their gear instead of sitting at 1300, now.

HOWEVER, I'm not sure how possible it is to level a 1300 baddy's PR, as they are most likely in half greens and know nothing outside of instances...

You simply tell any greenie "NO, get at least almost full s1 before even asking".

[Snuffy]

[Relia]

I wish I wasn't a paladin and it wasn't incredibly difficult to PR.

[Kadrix]

Never had to win trade to sell PR, just dragged them up or played their acc.

[bradske]

yeah just play their account ~
