WoW PvP TournamentFollow

Some will be like you, thinking it's a fun and exciting way to try out/play more Arena under a more balanced scenario.

Others will complain that it's yet another way for people to play using free epics (ever read the complaints about pre-made characters for the test realm??).

For me: it's still PvP, and I won't touch it.

I'm pretty sure Turner summed it up the best way possible...I suppose it would be neat to try out, but not worth 20 bucks. If I remember right, I remember reading you had to have a certain arena rating if you even wanted to sign up? If thats the case, thats pretty lame too.

Yeah I dont like the whole free epics on the test realms and have never tried test realms for the simple reason that I think it devalues the real game in respect to dedication to time and gearing up appropriately.

This brings me to another question. If I wanted to PvP in Arena with the goal being to get my S3 Ret gear what would be the quicker way? Sourcing holy instance drops to start off with and use them till I can afford the arena points to convert over to Ret? Or gearing ret from the beginning and saving up for S3/Gladiator/Vindicator gear?

For some people, like myself, PvP Tournaments might be enough to get them hooked on arena PvP, where they might never normally try it because of where they are in the game.

I have been Prot for about six months and dont really have ret/holy gear apart from the odd instance drop or rep piece that is available to me that no one else needs. I dont plan on tanking any further than heroics because I can never guarantee what time I'll be on because of work etc so Raiding is generally no go for me.

Awesome thanks muchly KT
