Blizzard poster Ancilorn posted the lowdown (http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=8496400102&sid=1) on Arena (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/arena/) Season 6 (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/season-6/), which is slated to begin at around the same time that Patch 3.1 (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/patch-3.1/) is released. There will be some key changes to this season, the biggest of which will be that all teams will start at 0 rating instead of the traditional 1500. This way, players will generally have an upward progression throughout the season before plateauing at their estimated skill level.
Another change is that Blizzard has reevaluated the item requirements, feeling that many of them were too difficult to obtain. The lowest rating requirement for an item is currently set at 1250, which may seem low but considering players will be progressing from 0, that's a 1250 point spread. In Season 5, the lowest rating requirement is 1615, which is a mere 115 points from the starting point of 1500. It remains to be seen how much of the continually changing Arena system (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/matchmaking-system) will award points and how easy or hard it will be to move upwards from 0. More details on the ratings after the jump.Continue reading Arena Season 6 details revealed (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/25/arena-season-6-details-revealed/)
