My death knight buddy just hit 90 this week so today I was doing some 2s with him.
He's pretty poorly geared, doesn't make it above 400k HP outside of blood pres.
Yesterday we did about 30 arenas to get him his grievous weapon, ended up around 1300 MMR.
So today we queue, and our first 9 arenas were against people in full grievous, some had maybe a tyrannical ring.
I armoried over half of them, and the rest of them I can judge by their health that they're pretty geared. (480k average)
So why is it pretty much the common thing to do, for these full grievous people to drop their MMR to around 1200 to do 2s?
Why is this even possible, and why do these people feel the need?
It's entirely FAR more common to see somebody in near full grievous in low MMR 2s, than it is to see somebody actually trying to gear up.
To add, not one of them had any 3s/rbg/5s ratings so the only way for them to have got that gear, was through 2s. So it's not like they geared up through 3s, then decided to do some 2s.
