World of Warcraft's Cory Stockton has posted a short but effective FAQ about the 'rated battlegrounds' coming with the Cataclysm expansion next month. Pardo indicated that the topic had generated confusion and hoped that the FAQ would help alleviate it. The FAQ covers the rewards gained for competing in the rated battlegrounds, as well as the requirements for entering.
Judging from the posts on the forum, it looked like most players were confused about what rated battlegrounds really are and how to interact with them. Hopefully this FAQ can help clear up some of those questions. Feel free to respond with any other questions you might have and we will do our best to post up the answers in this thread.
- Rated Battlegrounds are broken down into three brackets. 10v10, 15v15 and 25v25. These brackets rotate weekly and can be viewed in-game via the calendar by activating the battleground holiday filter.
- Players must create a raid with the full number of players required for the current bracket before entering the queue. Any level 85 player of your faction may participate in the battle (regardless of guild association).
