Arenas are done in set premade teams of 2, 3 or 5 and you gain/lose points after every match. These are more casual in TBC (outside of premade tourneys) and there’s no rating or ranks for battlegrounds – it’s purely just there to do some pvp, farm honor and get marks.Īrenas on the other hand are competitive. BGs are the pvp maps such as Eye of the Storm or Alterac Valley. There are 2 types of pvp besides open world pvp.
