Seriously, pisses me the fuck off. Do enough people give a shit anymore for there to be a neutral ground for slightly above average players? I'm not exactly a chump given my experience of 2400+ in everything, but jesus christ I'm not good enough to contend with Gladiators and Rank 1s every game now. If you're wondering what MMR this is, it's fucking merely 2000 at 1950 range! You wouldn't see such players until 2400 if you were lucky in Cataclysm. I mean, now everyone is either extremely good or your typical BG backpeddling dumbass, the former slowly cropping up when you hit 1700 of all things.
In the state of the game now, how are new people supposed to get into arenas when it's like this? The prospect of facing retards then immediately being hurled into the fray with the best of them is kind of jarring...
