For every arena bracket you play in you have one single personal rating. Your 2on2 and your 5on5 personal rating is not linked.

Example: 2on2 team with 3 players and a 2000 rating. (all three players has the FIRST requirement for buying the shoulder item, but not everyone has the second one!)

Player 1 has played every match, so he has 2000 rating. (+500 compared to the 1500 at the start)
Player 2 and Player 3 has an equal amount of matches, but Player 2 won a lot more games than Player 3:
Player 2 will have more rating than Player 3, but not as much as Player 1 (maybe 1900, +400 compared to the start), whereas Player 3 has only 1600 points. (+100 points compared to the start)

In this example only Player 1 would be able to purchase the shoulder item.

If the personal point gain per win is equal to the arena points you get or if they will depend on your personal rating is not known at the moment (like when Player 3 plays with Player 1 and win in an 2000 against 2000, they would get +15 arena rating, but would both get +15 personal rating, or would Player 3 get much more out of it because his personal rating is so low?) Maybe we will know more in a few days

Awesome, thanks for the clarification!

In answer to the inevitable "Why 2k gold for a 280% mount?" qiestions allow me to pre-empt with a response:

Now, most people have expected new flying mounts since we announced them at BlizzCon, and it's a bit later than we had initially said, but the 2000g price tag is obviously going to raise some questions. The flying mounts for any players are commonly the most visually representative, they're the most visible at any distance, and as they allow a lot of space compared to say a leg or bracer item, we commonly take them and really create something visually impressive. We want that visually impressive item to represent what a player has achieved, and so the achievement of being a contender in the gold farming arena at a higher level will be visually distinguished. The flying mounts are also average in the benefit they provide, as compared to a chest or leg item for example, and without them the journey can still be completed.

Update on the rep bot

Field Repair bot will sell items: The repair bot will sell all reagents, level 65 arrows and bullets, poison reagents, few types of vials, up to 2 super mana/healing potions, and maybe some scrolls. These are all for sale, with no rep discount, because he’s a robot.

About the shoulders ? oh noez i wouldn't be able to wear the blinking eyes ... talking about grafik they suck big tiem i preffer T4 skin before T5 or 6 even

so making me war arena season1 shoulders + 4 parts season 3 is like what i intented to do to not get targeted too much in the 5v5 arena anyway

1850 rating is somewhat reachable for some people but never for an average guy so that means no crossbow for me anytime soonr than next season me getting the downgraded season 3

Pefectly suits me since the skin of the cros is again UGLY and not the horde brutal ugly way that ME LIKES but realy ugly like no way i am gonna wear this on my precious crazy toon. Keep it bliz choke on it even
