Still, it's a vanity item that many of us appreciate and enjoyed having, if we want to all just look the same then they might as well stop making different sets, deck everyone out in D0 looking items with different stats depending on their item level and have everyone ride around on a grey ram.
    I'm just saying that the tabard is kinda underwhelming reward for hitting 2,3k or 2,6k or whatever.

    And more often than not the tabard doesn't even match your desired look anyway so it ends up
    being in your bank. (at least this has happened with pretty much all my tabards)

    I mean they could add like shiny particles which get brighter when you are on a kill streak in
    BGs or have a streak of arena victories.

    Anything to separate it from the massive amount of other tabards of which most of them
    look a lot better than the glad tabards from the past.

    On their current state, I think they are pointless to have and don't care that they
    got removed.

    It's better than nothing. If Blizzard literally made 1 new tabard skin for reaching 2200 or 2400, (2400 imo, 2200 you get gear and 2300 isn't really an even number), the WoW Arena community would be over the moon. It's just the fact they have done nothing recently, apart from bring out RBGs which didn't help in the slightest.

    'Hey have all these cool mounts and titles from PvP, see, we do love you guys!' - When in actual fact, most people PvP because they don't want to log in at X time in the evening to group with 14 other people and sit in queues for 20 minutes.

    I'm up for any rewards from Arena. It's the only thing I enjoy doing in WoW and for the time investment - only getting a title at the end of a season is a little lackluster compared to PvE.

    These tabards were great, the problem was though, that casuals would never even get close to obtaining these tabards.
    At the moment Blizzard is adding / removing content so that casuals can obtain everything they want without having to do a single thing for it.

    Compared to PvE? Where you get a title at the end of the tier and an achievement? Atleast you get a mount too, just saying.

    They were removed because they felt S9 would be a joke and any retard could get 2.3k+. Which was true since the MMR got bugged as hell. Theres a reason they weren't there in S5 too.

    Sadly entire cataclysm has been a joke 3v3 wise due to PvE gear and I doubt they come back.

    Did you just call yourself a retard? Because the highest you've ever been is 2300.

    Higher rated than you, nice try, not my point anyway.

    Not sure why you moan about cata being easy yet you have only gotten 2.3k, most likely as triple dps.
    Also the topic is about the tabard, not how easy 2.3k is or how much of a joke cata is.
    Moving on..

    Anything would be nice to be honest, tabard, pet or even a random title.

    I played RMP to my current rating. Partners moved servers because Auchindoun is not good compared to other servers. Check dates on achis and you see I didnt get my achi in cataclsym you bellend.

    You say you're higher than me, but no armory in sig or try to prove something?
    Bet you're stuck@ 1.7 with HC pve gear.

    Pretty sure I missed some, but they all give or have given mounts; not to mention the mounts that drop or have dropped in each of the raids. Just saying.

    I don't see why they got removed, but they also may just have run out of colors. I think it would be kinda neat if you got one at say ~1500 that was pretty simple and you can upgrade it every ~250 rating until ~2500 where it becomes just mega awesome.

    Nephlim - I'm not sure if you're trolling or not but in order to get a mount from Arena you have to be in the top 0.5% of teams. Plus the fact that probably 1/5 or so of teams in the gladiator bracket are carries/boosts, I'd say it's more like 0.3-0.4%. I'm not even going to divulge into titles, that was a stupid subject to bring up.

    To put the sheer amount of PvE mounts in perspective for you:

    Dungeons:
    Raven Lord
    Swift White Hawkstrider
    Fiery Warhorse's Reins
    Swift Razzashi Raptor
    Swift Zulian Tiger
    Swift Zulian Panther
    Amani Bear
    Deathcharger's Reins
    Bronze Drake
    Blue Proto-Drake
    Red Proto-Drake
    Vitreous Stone Drake
    Drake of the South Wind
    Drake of the North Wind

    Holiday - but still from PvE dungeons:
    Swift Brewfest Ram
    Great Brewfest Kodo
    Big Love Rocket
    The Horseman's Reins
    Violet Proto-Drake

    Raids:
    Wrath:
    Blue Drake
    Black Drake
    Azure Drake
    Twilight Drake
    Plagued Proto-Drake
    Rusted Proto-Drake
    Ironbound Proto-Drake
    Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher
    Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher

    Cata:
    Volcanic Stone Drake
    Drake of the East Wind
    Flametalon of Alysrazor
    Corrupted Egg of Millagazor
    Smoldering Egg of Millagazor
    Life-Binder's Handmaiden
    Blazing Drake
    Twilight Harbinger

    Rare drops from Raids:
    Ashes of Al'ar
    Grand Black War Mammoth
    Mimiron's Head
    Onyxian Drake
    Invincible's Reins
    Experiment 12-B

    Other:
    Tarecgosa's Visage

    Pretty sure i've still missed some. But you get the picture. There are 43 mounts here and most of them aren't even hard to get. In order to get a mount from Arena, you have to be in the top 0.5% of Arena teams at the end of a season.

    So far, there has only been 10 mounts given out for Arena - and most of these are reskinned PvE mounts:

    1. Swift Nether Drake
    2. Merciless Nether Drake
    3. Vengeful Nether Drake
    4. Brutal Nether Drake
    5. Deadly Gladiator's Frost Wyrm
    6. Furious Gladiator's Frost Wyrm
    7. Relentless Gladiator's Frost Wyrm
    8. Wrathful Gladiator's Frost Wyrm
    9. Vicious Gladiator's Twilight Drake
    10. Ruthless Gladiator's Twilight Drake

    Basically, the Arena side of PvP is lacking in rewards. PvP in WoW doesn't get any 'new content' in expansions or patches. We get new armor sets every tier, but never new Arenas, Battlegrounds, Mounts etc. Mists of Pandaria introduces a couple of battlegrounds and a reskinned Arena but that's all after a long time of nothing.

    Giving a tabard as an incentive for reaching 'x' rating is an amazing idea for barely any input from Blizzard. It'd increase arena participation and give people something to show off.

    It would be great if there were more rewards from arena, currently all you can get from arena besides the glad mounts, which are kind of stupid in more ways than one, is like the tabard from 300 (?) arena wins.....and thats it ( am i forgetting something? idk its late w/e).

    2300 rating is too low tbh, make it 2400 at least and only apply to 3s

    Too little too late, really.

    Taking current ratings into account I'd say 2400-2500 does sound quite fair. 2500 would be optimal but it might be a little too steep considering that's almost rank 1 on certain battlegroups these days.

    I won't vote on the matter simply because I do not do that much PvP but I will say that it makes me wonder why these things are taken out in the first place. It seems like they've really dropped the ball when it comes to adding a little more flavor to your character or something to work towards regardless of what that reward may be.

    It gives the impression that if the casual players cannot get it then they don't want to hurt their feelings so everyone else will suffer the loss.
