Would you like to see Random Arena? ("LFR" in PvP)

[Eazy]

As above, would you like to see random 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 Arena?
We are already doing highest PvE level(raids) with random people( LFR ), so why we shouldn't do arena with random people also?
I'd really like to see this implemented to the World of Warcraft.
I loved skirmishes, but I think this would be much better. People could train themselves more, could do them just for fun.
Of course reward for the win are Conquest Points, but less than from normal Arena. (80-100 seems fair for me)

Your opinions?

[FLANOFETT]

use an addon like Oqueue to find potential partners for Arenas. It is better and more social. Blizzard says they are adding their own cross-realm group finder que system next expansion that should be sufficient if you don't like addons. A random que for Arena's will just lead to more hate talk and animosity and crumbling of the community in general. Also the random Arenas would be filled with bots just like regular BG's

Well, people were doing skirmishes and they weren't hating each other.

I didn't see any bot in skirmish or LFR.

[Serj Tankian]

No. LFR is bad enough.

[Frozenbeef]

Would be nice, when i pvped i hated having to wait for other people to login or spam trade chat

[Trubo]

Only if there's no way to queue into it in as group like Perform AV enabler or whatever. It affecting MMR should be fine as it would encourage higher skill play in the normal Arena and allow those that only casually PvP or are new to it a chance to play against similarly skilled players.

[Reveries1]

Some kind of no reward system maybe. Its to easy to get a group to add a random button. The new LFG system in WoD I believe is planned to have a PvP section for both RBG's and Arena so this wouldnt be needed.

Being thrown into an arena with a completely unknown team mate, and having it affect your ratings would be such a mess.
Random people from your guild/friends list/trade channel/oqueue would be better.. At least you can arrange a reasonably viable comp and prepare, have some idea of their experience, organise voice comms etc.

[BreathTaker]

That'd be the only way to enter arena for me. And i don't care we'd loose 99% of matches. Would be nice. No rewards except for some honor fir wins, though

[LFPO8k]

maybe for training, like the old skirmish system, with it's own rating or score to see if you are good. The reward could be something useless, like honor points

How is this any different than what we currently have?

No, you don't. LFR is not raiding, LFR is tourism.
LFR for arena allready exist : random trade or X-server where at least you can choose a somewhat decent comp.

Even easier : make a friend. While you need 24 for raiding. You only need one or two for arena.

That is wrong. LFR - looking for raid, 25 people are killing bosses in an instance -> RAID.

Getting random people are also bad, because they want you to have better gear, though you have better gear than themselves, they're asking why you did choose the "wrong skill", they are hating each other if something is wrong and you missclick something. Making friend is a good option, but what if our friend is on a vacation or isn't online? I want to play arenas whenever I want, that's the reason why I'm talking about "random arenas".

[Slant]

Yes, I want them to suffer this madness, too. Let them PAY for all the stupid "balance" changes PvE had to endure that absolutely made no sense whatsoever in PvE and were almost solely based on douchebags in arena whining too much.

[Deleted]

I think this would be kinda interesting as you'd have to adapt very quickly to what was put in front of you. It's also quite a good way to test out new ideas or classes in an arena environment without letting a long-standing team mate down. It'd have to have it's own arena rating though.

[Deleted]

My only issue with this would be the RNG. 2-3 matched up people with horrible synergy against a team with great synergy.

[Ealyssa]

Yeah and santa really exist...

Stay in your fairy tales if you like it. Better than thinking you're bad if LFR is the "highest PVE level" for you I guess. But it may explain why you can't even find ONE random buddy to play with in arena...

Infracted

[Bluesftw]

lets remove joke brackets first (2's and 5's), then maybe add random 3v3, tho dont really see the point

[Liff]

My second sentence is exactly what we currently have available, which I'm saying is better than the proposed random queue for rated pvp.
If we're talking non-rated for non-conquest points, well fine.. You want skirmishes back. *shrug*

[Bad Ashe]

i wish there was some sort of LFG for this, not because i'd use it, but because of how vocal the pvp community is.

and the amount of spam complaints about abusers (trolls, griefers, bots) that use such a system might finally get them developing a way to fix the pve versions.
