Here is what is happening on the MoP Beta regarding PvP.
The PvP Season ended on the Beta.
Q: Why?
A: It is the only opportunity we have to test the FlatCutOff tech/logic and make sure it works before a live season.
Q: Why two days?
A: We are simulating our risk team combing through accounts that earn titles to eliminate cheaters from reward contention. This is for workflow, and seeing what a season's minimum lift required is with the FlarCutOffs we have.
Q: Will the season be back on Beta afterwards?
A: We will attempt to revert the season back to the start on Beta and have it begin again. This is not a promise it will work perfectly, but we will be attempting to do it so we can allow players to continue giving feedback on how Arenas feel, how dampening feels, and the variants of it.
Q: Are you going to change dampening again?
A: Yes. We are going to experiment with 5 minute dampening starts in every bracket and starting at 0% dampening.
Q: But why? No one likes slow games! Especially Healer vs. Healer 2s!
A: We know, this is why we introduced the dampening we did, but we've gotten enough feedback it would be amiss not to entertain the desire for a longer meta even if just for the moment.
Q: But it sucks, we know it's going to suck, why?
A: It is a public beta environment. If we do not explore and iterate options as fast as possible and actually stay flexible, then we are not serving the players to the best of our ability. Experience a weird week of dampening on the beta, or a whole season of offputting dampening? The former decreases the chance of the latter.
Bonus A: I personally believe the best version of dampening will be:
- 2s starts at 3-5 minutes
- Healer mirror 2s starting at 0-3 minutes.
- 3s and 5s starting at 3-5 minutes.
- Dampening starting from 0-10%.
And I believe it enough that doing things that may not align with that is fine with me during the beta because I have confidence I'm correct enough that others will see it too once we go with the longer dampening test, or I will be wrong and learn something new.

@Zirene @Minpojke_ @wowclassicdevs Zirene you’re goated thank you for the communication and the changes 🙏

Hello Minpojke, this is already the plan to move Baseline Resilience to 65% up from 63%.
A ~5.9% reduction in current damage taken going from 66% to 68% with PvP trinkets.
We are also looking at moving 3s and 5s dampening start time to 5 minutes up from 3 minutes.
We like the 2s dampening timer starting in healer dps mirrors and at 3 minutes, but 3 minutes in 3s and 5s feels a little too quick. 5 minutes should give players two opportunities to use all-ins/go's twice before dampening kicks in.

66% Baseline resilience has turned out to be too low, damage is way too high making some comps way too explosive in the opener. Up it to 68% to account for the itemlevel increase and elite weapons that are incoming! @wowclassicdevs @Zirene @Artemishowl_

With the Reins of the Kor'kron War Wolf being datamined as a trading post item, how do we feel about other currently unobtainable mounts / items possibly being added to the trading post?
Would you prefer all collectibles have a chance to be obtained, or keep them to their original time period?
