Personal Rating Exploit

[Majikina]

I check 5-6 pages through this forum and didn't see anything like this. I apologize if there is.

Quick and easy way to get your personal rating through the roof:

So earlier in the week I made a friend with a shadow priest and we decided to do 2v2 arena. We were doing really well winning every game we played but the queues were long and 2s team was my old one that was at 1500. So we get it up around 100 rating or so putting us both at 1600 personal rating. I log off for the night and get back on the next morning to see that my other friend had lost like 10 games in a row that night and put us down below 1500. Me and my buddy were pissed off and the week was going to end so we starting getting the rating back up. As we were doing this i noticed that both our personal ratings were going up with our rank.

Basically the trick is extremely simple.

1. Find 2 decent people
2. Use 2 alts or crappy people who want some arena points.
3. Have the 2 alt/crappy people lose a ton of games
4. The 2 decent people then come in and bring it back up to 1500
5. Repeat until you have 2000 personal rating.


I realize you need points for the shoulder and weapons but this is a simple way to get that high of a personal rating if you arent very good or dont have a good partner for arenas.

....what does this accomplish?

[Majikina]

exactly what it says, if you repeat it over and over it should get you to 2000 personal rating allowing you to buy the weapons and shoulder pieces..................

this is like...the most posted arena exploit ever to excist. if you really searched you would find atleast 10-20 equal.

To quote Blizzard:

Please be aware that with this week’s maintenance, purchasing arena season 3 items that have a required arena personal rating will now also require the purchaser’s arena team rating to be at the same point values as well.

So it really won't accomplish anything.

ah ok my bad, it worked in getting my points up, i didnt read about any fix like you posted, meh bad lol

[shade599]

Well, my point was: Couldn't you play your arena team normally and get your personal rating up, without purposely dropping the overall rating?

[Majikina]

well yea sure this was for those who were finding it difficult to get that high thats all, but apparently it doesnt work as i thought it would

[Cheesuz]

very c"OLD" here...

This will no longer work, you now require 2k Personal rating as well as 2k Team rating for shoulders, and 1.85k on both for weps. was good while it lasted

Re-post from long ago.
Plus now it is useless from the thing that UnoriginalGuy22 said.
Thanks for contributing anyway.

They've been talking about this since before personal ratings came out ffs. Good job being months behind though!

[Mazda5speed]

yea and it goes up really slow if you have a low rating and win.

You know, I find this humerous coming from a "member" who hasn't even attempted to post a single thread on this site. Where do you get off flaming the OP, sir?

[joper]

Edit: riight, missed the couple of posts, my bad!
