I tried to queue Blood Ring last 3 days when the Blood Ring was the battleground of the day. The queue said average waiting time was "Unavailable". I've talked with other PvPers and they also haven't ever played a single Arena on this server. Thus, I assume it's not played at all which is odd considering that it requires only 6 people to queue.
I've played some Arenas on Nordanaar realm on Turtle WoW and I know PvPers point of view so I'm writing this suggestion with explanation of reasoning.
Suggestion:
- Increase Honor gained in Arena by 50%.
- Honor gained in Arena isn't as great as in other BGs even when BR is battleground of the day. Thus, people who want to gain Honor fast (PvPers), skip BR entirely to play WSG/AB/AV instead. PvPers are majority of people who could play Arena so this change addressed them mostly, giving them incentive to queue.
- Arena is the most intense and focus-demaning BG in the entire game. In other BGs you could play more casually, making small mistakes and not tryharding. It allows some sweaty PvPers to play WSG/AB/AV for long hours without physical exhaustion. In BR, however, every decision is more impactful, every second matters so players must sweat. You can't play Arena as much time as other BGs because playing Arena is more exhausting. Thus, I think increased Honor should be good trade-off for physical fatigue.
