How do you see this? Will there always be 3 matches and giving you 2 points for the winning team or even 3 teams if you win 3/3 ? Or will it just be like winning 2/3 will get you 1 point in total ? Thus max points being 7 when playing with 8 teams? What happens if there will be draw scores?

Started from the bottom
point system is being reworked as well as the amount of games played so cant say anything final about it yet

What about playing 5 games, winning 3 to reward the "win". When you just win 3 straight out of 5, without losing any other, this rewards you more than having a close 2 - 2 and winning the 3th.

Would you prefer every win counting as a point so who ever wins the most gets to the finals? Really high so idea might be shit.

For example when playing 5 games and winning 3:
At first, play 5 games. First is Nagrand, from then on loser chooses next arena and so forth.
A team wins 3 and loses 2. They won in total. This could reward 1 point for winning. No points for the losers.
A team wins 4 and loses 1. They won in total. This could reward 2 points for winning. No points for the losers.
A team wins all 5 games. They won in total. This could reward up to 4 points or even a penalty for the losers.

First off, I love this. I know you guys want more people to do arenas and I think this is defiantly helping you guys do just that but I'm worried about a few things. I want this to work out for you guys, so please read and consider what I say carefully
You have lots of experienced players making teams with other experienced players and newer arena players being forced to group most likely with other new players. Even if you fight every team, the good experienced player teams are gonna come out on top, the new players will have almost no chance of winning this. This is an issue as from what I've seen this goes against what you guys want, new long-term arena players and a fair, balanced, and new player friendly competition.
For instance, I don't use keybinds, I key-turn. I don't use vent or Skype, don't even own a mic, who would want to play with me? No experienced, serious arena player would. I know quite of few players who are the same way, as far as not using voice (Insects, Mindy, etc). I can't speak for them but for me it's a personal issue of me having social anxiety (I'm so textbook it's not even funny) and I just can't do it. Which also effects me wanting to arena in the first place leading me to that.

Whenever I've done arenas, it's been a nightmare. Every time I do them, I regret it and tell myself I won't do it again. The last time, it was Phrawsty and I. People were asking in chat and Phrawsty had no partner and I know that he likes arenas, so I was like "okay, I can do this". I wanted to help, I feel bad that you guys practically beg in chat for people to do arenas. I was terrible and I was so embarrassed I logged over to alliance. I said my mouse was being dumb and it was, and it was a big problem but it was the embarrassment and the weight of it that made me not comeback after I fixed my mouse and try a few more. It is an intense fear of letting people down and the feeling that everyone is 'looking' at you and blaming you. This is a similar feeling that keeps me from tanking or healing dungeons, I spec ret and queue dps, as I've had a few tanks die on me and say bad stuff or just the fear of messing up. It's irrational and I know it but it's very powerful, I don't expect many of you to understand but that's why I don't do arenas.
"Why are you telling us this?" Good question! I wanna like arenas but I need a team I know will be patient with me, so I felt I needed to stress my issues so people would be more understanding. I will do arenas but only with Yde and Purse as they're the only people I know won't be judging me if we lose (or at least the only people I will be able to rationalize away the fear), more importantly they probably wouldn't even care if we do lose. However, we're all BEs which might be an issue hence all of this :/ I'll take arcane torrent off my action bar, granted that still leaves my arcane resistance but that's the best I got. All my horde toons that are geared are BEs, Yde and Purse both only have one geared toon on AP, both BEs. Quite da pickle.
So... Team Squish? Yes? No?

I agree but I fear newer arena players won't wanna give arenas a chance if they have their faces kicked in by the best of the best. I'm rooting for you arena junkies ;D I want this to work, hence why I'm mentioning it.
I'm not saying pick names out of a hat but try and keep it in mind when picking your team. Like team squish is okay cause I'm on it 8)

No offence to you personally, but I think that idea is really really bad.
If 5 games (wich I think is a good idea) The wins needs to be awarded 1 point, no matter how much you win. (please take the time to read the below if you dissagree)
Say team A beats team B: 3-2 = 1 point
Team A beats team C and D, E, F, G and H as well, all games winning 3-2, thats another 6 points and a total of 7 points.
Basically team A beat all the other teams in a best of 5 series and gained 7 points.
However team B lost against team A 2-3 and got 0 points from that match
team B then lost against team C 1-4 and got another.. 0 points
same happened to team D, E, F, giving them another 0 points and a total of 0 points.
HOWEVER, team B really countered team G and H and won ALL the games against them 5-0, giving them a total of 8 points.
A win is a win, a loss is a loss. "complicated" stuff often leads to things beeing unfair, if a team manages to go 2-3 against every other team you could say they are better then a team that goes 0-3 against every other team, but neither team actually beat ANY team in best of 5 and should not get a point reward that might be higher then another team's score that beat somone in a best of 5

That actually made me laugh, clever
i'd also like discussion about the point system to stop, dont need another 4 pages of debate, dont worry about it for now. If anything discuss Rhaellias post and how to best handle the new players vs the all stars situation
