Can you honestly say it's fun? After a year of playing the same 3 maps against the same 3 comps? People said AV became boring after hitting exalted or getting HWL, people also started to hate AB because you can't win with any random 15 retards and clickers and keyboard turners hate WSG because there's more to it than spamming 2-3 buttons. There's a reason most of the truly competitive bg9 teams stopped playing in the middle of season2 and many of the teams considered on top in s2 are now dodging queues or no longer competing as well.
On the same note raiding-wise we've had 4 or 5 people stop raiding or quit playing in the last year+ since TBC was released. I'll take 4-5 losing interest over 50-100 any day. Throw in a flag or another objective to move it away from a waiting game to see who has a player fuckup first and maybe I'd be sold on arena, but regardless of my priest's rank I've done more PVP than the average player and it's not my thing.
first of all map variety hurts arena more than helps it. in fact i wish they removed all the maps except nagrand (and maybe blades edge). also if you've played this season you'd realize there are a lot of different 3s and 5s comps that work.
im talking about arena not battlegrounds. next expac battlegrounds will work like arena does now. then i will talk about battlegrounds. and dont give me the "its only 3 maps" bullshit with that either.
and source on your "everyone is giving up" claim plz.
