I actually disagree. Current point sellers in general hover in the 1900-2000 bracket (give or take). They are generally people who have nothing left to buy with honor and have no ambitions to make Gladiator (whether it is because they run a sub-optimal setup, do not have the skill, or do not have the teammates). So at this point, they have no more need of Arena points. What is left to do? Sell points. It will still be possible to sell your services to people, it will just require that 2 of you play with that person to ensure their rating does not drop 150 points below the team rating. They will still be capable of selling people points, and once they get someone up to their desired rating, they can freely leave the team and do it again, coming back to play lower rated teams (since it uses the average) to get the highly rated point buyer his weekly games. Since these sellers have nothing to buy, what does it matter to them if they only get points for a 1550 rating?
