, most high rated pvpers are better at pve than most average raiders, the only difference is most pvpers don't have the gear to excel at pve. At least, this has been my experience.
The same kind of justification I have been pointing out. I have three sets of gear to maintain. Tank, DPS, and PvP. I have good enough gear to raid in the top Raid instances and 1.2k res with my PvP set. If I'm a scrub and can maintain that why can't they?
Tell yourselves that Arena rating makes you l33t. That's cool with me, but we all know it;s just covering some other failings. I'll keep your secret for now.

There's been much debate on the pvpers are better than pvers when they decide to do pve. Several articles, personal experience yada yada yada. I'm not trying to bust anyone's balls here, but that one comment you made irked me so I thought I'd talk about my personal experience. I used to be a keyboard turning clicker pver back in vanilla. I switched to binds near the end of vanilla, pvp'd more, then stopped pve altogether in s2 and got glad etc. Compared to how I was pre binding/pvp skill, my pve skill increased 10 fold
at least

Lol. Look at ya. All worked up.
@goshadstep2lose: I contribute just fine. Not agreeing with you doesn't disqualify me.
@besaba: If you made those changes in the PvE world you would have made massive improvements as well. Binds are beneficial. Excuse what might seem as rude or arrogant but learning to play is learning to play. Not playing the PvE side didn't make you better, getting better did.

@goshadstep2lose: I contribute just fine. Not agreeing with you doesn't disqualify me. e-raging on people for something that trade bully called you on, does, however.

But that's just the thing, to be good at pve, you don't have to do any of that. Not true for pvp.

goshadstep2lose I raged on no-one, and not here on this Forum. I never have. You have something stuck in your paw. I just say that anyone who thinks playing just PvP, and Arena in specific are not an elite. They are hiding from some inability to get along with others or an inability to Raid.
The original post was about Arena Elitism. You know it's misplaced aggrandizement, nothing more. I have a crappy Arena rating, check it out. I just believe it is a small segment of this game, and counts for as 'bout much as Professions. Another way to spend your time. My guess is, I'll get a better Rating before those guys down a Raid boss.
Rage on Arena Pigs. You're just a footnote. Get over your selves.

The original post was about Arena Elitism. try reading beyond the title, or just try reading period
the post was about arenas as a gauge of skill in terms of BGs (IE: pvp, not PvE, which is a whole new ball game.) if I made a post titled "So my girlfriends pregnant..." and then asked the forum community what baby names they suggested, the thread would be about baby names
...not abortion
You know it's misplaced aggrandizement, nothing more. and how is it misplaced? we've already established that BGs and arenas are just different breeds of the same beast, but in the absence of rated BGs the best way to gauge a players pvp prowess remains arena ratings
sounds like perfect grounds for bragging rights in that sense
I just believe it is a small segment of this game, and counts for as 'bout much as Professions. Another way to spend your time. yea because everyone has 2k+ rated teams to go with their 450 herbalism and skinning
cool story
My guess is, I'll get a better Rating before those guys down a Raid boss. only one way to find out broseph
Rage on Arena Pigs. You're just a footnote. Get over your selves. textbook e-rage, it doesnt need to be capped out
I can feel your anger all the way over here

I have tortured you enough goshadstep2lose. Of course Arena is the epitome of WoW. How could it be other wise?
Now hopefully you'll be able some sleep tonight.

If you;re gonna keep taking yourselves so seriously you're just easy pickin. When you can get along with others join us in the real game.
Later guys, I've been fed enough. I'll have to find a less excitable area to farm. You guys are getting a little Gamey. Being funny or not must depend on the audience. I chuckled.

Was the recent premise that top arena players can't raid? Because there are many counter-examples to that.
