I'm not sure we need to keep a hurdle in, and adversely affect the PvP game, just to give people something to shoot for. We'll have a cosmetically different enchant available at 2200 in 5.2, and going along those lines we're looking at what potential future cosmetic rewards we could add for various ratings in the future.

Looks like there will still be something in-game to differentiate between people <2200 and >2200. It doesn't mention what the enchant will do, but I imagine it'll be a weapon enchant or something along those lines.

Maybe even a shoulder or head enchant which gives a glow to your gear.

Sounds good to me!

Should just give you tabards you can wear if you achieved x rating current season. For 2.2 2.3 2.4 etc.

Tabards are definitely the most sought-after cosmetic reward people want from Arena. Blizzard would be crazy not to implement it eventually.

Obnoxious looking executioner enchant imo.

That'd do more bad than good. People would just flame Blizzard for putting PVP second and rehashing old models. They already get enough stick as it is for recolouring and reusing old models.

Tabards take 1/100th the time of recolouring a PvP set and would make 99% of people happy. Have a 1500, 1750, 2000, 2200 and 2400 tabard. Could also (as someone said in another thread) either reset the achievements or award new tabards every season for hitting those ratings to give people the incentive to hit those milestones.

Achievement hunters would hate this change. Some of the people that compete for #1 world achievement points are probably never going to get Gladiator or 2700 3v3 ever again.

For every day you're above 2200 you gain 5% in size.

By end-season you're the size of a large building.

High end BC weapon enchants looked amazing.

Mongoose/Executioner for Agi uses.
Executioner for str uses.
No longer in game 81healing power enchant (golden swirlies) for healers.
Casters can have soulfrost or sunfire which looked pretty good.

All of these enchants really stand out a lot which is what you guys want right>?

someone really wanted his mount haha xP

and sorry for offtopic, @OP
I guess itll be cool if the enchants are for weps or something that visually make you look better, although i'd rather still have tabards or maybe ground mounts..

I think we need to see how much inflation the new 'participation' bonus effects rating before I can agree with you.

Hey I almost tie him for feats of strengths. He's #1 US and I am at #2

But back OT: I am pretty excited they are taking the 2200 players and throwing some sprinkles on them.

New PVP tabard (like s6/s7/s8) is the best choice !
