Arena glitch.

[KushIsMyCologne]

Okay, so has title says, I *think* I have found something that may be useful to other people. First off, let me say that I don't know if this works for everybody, or even if it's commonly known already, but I didn't really search and thought I would contribute what I discovered.

So, me and my friend were playing 2's in arena. We are extremely undergeared, just getting points for the week. My friend then proceeded to die pretty quick, and then for some reason, I DC'd. I was pissed at first, but after logging back in, the arena match had ended and it said I had lost 15 points. Then, when I checked the team, the team rating indeed was 15 points lower, but I didn't lose any rating! My friend never DC'd or logged out. So curiously, I asked him next time we were about to lose to log off.

Three games later, we begin to lose, I die first, log off, then he proceeds to log off. We wait about a minute, to ensure the game has indeed ended, and log back in. We then notice that we didn't lose PR or Team Rating!

So the glitch is, if you log out when you're about to lose, wait until the arena is over (which is purely guessing how long it will take), log back in, you will not lose Team Rating or PR. I am pretty sure you will lose MMR, although I am not 100% sure, going to be testing that in a few minutes. I will let you guys know if you indeed lose MMR or not.

tl;dr: Log out of WoW when you're about to lose (both players), and team/personal rating's will remain the same. Unsure about MMR, testing soon!

edit: By logging out, I mean physically closing out of WoW. Using ALT + F4, the X at the top (in windowed mode), or any means necessary.

Relog and it will change.

It hasn't. I've relogged every time we have "lost". It has stayed the same.

Rating in two's doesn't really mean anything this season, It won't help you get the top end gear that you need rating for. So by keeping your rating 'higher' your just making your conquest farm harder by having to fight up the top with the higher rated people, instead of keeping your rating low and just farming the newbies.

It's a pretty known bug, look around. MMR / personal rating bug or what have you. Your partner has to still be alive when you dc and your personal won't go down, but you can't have ur entire team do it. It's useful for things like hotter streak / rating achieves.

I dced on 8 win streak with my partner still alive and I lost my hot streak count.

Suppose you was refering to this being a repost from the elite section, which is quite stupid, anyhow as alot of you say "relog and it will go back to normal". It won't, this is good if you want to boost someone in 3s to 2.2k, if you loose let the player you're boosting log off before the game is over and then log back in when it's over, he will not loose any personal. Useful if you're boosting him in your own team that probably has more team rating than he has personal.
