Now that the 2v2 bracket is not going to be viable for farming ratings, will you try to form up 3s or 5s teams? Are you gonna just give up on it completely and just settle for the honor gear, not wanting to be bothered?
I'm just interested in what others plan on doing when the new patch hits and 2s aren't really worth much any more. I'm really more of a BG and World PvP guy, but Arenas were kinda fun sometimes. I still haven't decided if I'm even going to bother trying to do 3s, or even 5s. I know right now I'm leaning towards just not bothering, though I could change my mind.
What do you think? Is this going to hurt arena participation? Could this be a step towards Arenas being phased out? Hell, maybe it's a good step, and in the long run will make Arena better. I guess only time will tell. Thoughts?

I think that we will see alot of people dropping arena. I know I mainly 2v2'ed because it was fun, simple to plan and I did it with a good friend. 3v3 is hell to heal as a shaman (stress factor imo >.>) so I do not think I will be setting up a 3v3 team.
5v5 is a good option for my class, but co-ordinating the schedules of 5 different people can be annoying, especially since it is just for WoW.

I'll be getting a 3v3 cleave team, and faceroll people.
Apparently they dont want us to play 2s, and with no "CC-compatible" seal left there isnt gonna be many options.

Scheduling isn't that big of a deal though, I mean if getting 25 people to raid isn't that hard, then neither should getting 5 people to PvP.
Depends what server you are on. Since I am on an RP server on the smaller faction, most players are not PvP oriented. I blame it on rolling characters with friends.
Arena also requires a much more flexible schedule then raiding for me, since PvE encounters tend to take priority for my guild. In 2v2 I could get my team working while waiting for the raiding to start. 5v5 is not quite that flexible.
