Arena avoid trick/exploit

[blubb12345]

I play atm 2v2 1900 rating with a warrior/restro-druid we often have problems in lordaeron.


And that the way to avoid the arena that you disslike:

1. download/install DBM Deadly Boss Mods | World of Warcraft Addons | World of Warcraft @ Curse.com

2. queue up for an arena match

3. wait until the join buttom appears and press "hide"

4. dbm pops up and you see which arena is incoming


5. if you dont like that arena wait 1 minute, dont join and you loose no points; if you like the arena rightclick onto the symbol on the minimap and press join arena

U think you wont lose points if you dont join arena? lol

This is a good idea mate +Rep

That's correct, alternatively for PvP-ers only (that don't need DBM because it got many other features you perhaps would like to not install to save RAM) then do this:

Default chatframe message:

/run for i=1,MAX_BATTLEFIELD_QUEUES do s,m,_,_,_,t,r=GetBattlefieldStatus(i);if s then if r then r=" (Rated)";else r=" (Skirmish)";end if t==0 and s=="confirm" then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(m..r,0,1,0);end end end

For UI Error frame message:

/run for i=1,MAX_BATTLEFIELD_QUEUES do s,m,_,_,_,t,r=GetBattlefieldStatus(i);if s then if r then r=" (Rated)";else r=" (Skirmish)";end if t==0 and s=="confirm" then UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(m..r,1,0,0,1,5);end end end

... but thought you lost rating, perhaps only if you join then leave.

if any1 of the team joins you loose points!

It worked last night.

[digit_xero]

He is correct in saying that if no one on the team joins, points will not be lost... However, if someone happens to join by mistake, or just habit, or for what ever reason, and you leave the queue.... Wow are you screwed.. lol This is those times that it is 2v1 in arena or 3v2-1...

[vishuss2]

For all who don't realize the usefulness of this, if you want to win-trade points, you can leave the queue if your farm team doesnt get into the same match as you without any penalty.

[Thimpey]

You lose if you leave the queue when it's too close to the match (they enter, you don't)

[darkwarrior]

Ya as far as I know if the arena pops and you leave queue then you lose points. If you leave queue before it pops you don't lose points.

im gona try this

[Heftydogg]

lol that doesnt matter, if no one takes the Queue, it just thinks you're afk and the other team gets a free win since on their screen it's 0 players on other team that have entered. It still tally's it as a loss in the records since you basically forfeit.

[SYNBAD]

will try this today to see if I lose points by clicking hide.

[Cya_Later]

You do NOT lose rating. I have confirmed this myself a while back.

If non of your team mates join, the game will end in a Draw!

To the poster, nice find =)

[vi6six]

It's true, you do NOT lose rating if none of your teammates join. Used to be nice not even having to play to swap wins, but they fixed this in 2.3, I think.
