Terrible or not, he still has a valid point. The system is easily exploited, one doesn't have to be great at arena to be allowed to make that point.

He's complaining that he can't get 2k because of gladiator's rerolling and taking points from his team. The fact is, if he really was interested in getting 2k, he'd pick up a partner(or partners) that didn't suck, stop crying over gladiator rerolls, and play a fuckton of games at odd hours so he wouldn't face them.
His point is not valid because he introduces other factors (his partners are in greens, he refuses to 'play to win', etc.) that have a
far bigger impact on his ratings than the 2-3 gladiator reroll teams he might meet over 60 games in the 1600 bracket.
TheCutlery: I don't care if you're good, bad, ugly, or Angelina Jolie, but the fact is that you ARE selling yourself short. So all of your whining about a broken system is totally mitigated by the fact that you have plentiful options that you are
simply not taking advantage of. Nobody is going to take you seriously if you make a post about the rating system being broken because you lose 60 points to reroll teams WHEN YOUR DRUID IS WEARING GREENS. Maybe if he wasn't geared so poorly, or if you had a different partner, you could beat those gladiator teams. You say that it's impossible, but it's really not, there are absolutely TERRIBLE gladiators out there. Keyboard turning, s-keying clickers running at 480x640 on atari 5000s who got carried to their title in 5v5 or even bought them. The fact that they're rerolling a team shouldn't immediately cause you to think "well I better bend over now, they're GLADIATORS"! That's a stupid mentality, and what everyone here has been TRYING TO TELL YOU is that is your biggest problem.
Cry us a river on the WoW forums, save this thread for relevant shit, like what you
can do to keep your greens-wearing druid alive so you can win those 60 points back in 4 games instead of 10.
Remember that gladiator's are human too, and plenty of people above 2k got there by queue dodging and win trading. You CAN beat them, it just takes the right mentality. If it turns out that you do indeed suck massive cock at arena pvp, then you come to terms with it, but this is not the place to spew ELO IS BROKEN bullshit when you're not doing all you can to improve your own play.
