Quote from: Bornakk (Source Upcoming Arena 2v2 Bracket Changes)
After
further consideration, and after hearing from many players, we are
going to change how we approach the 2 vs. 2 arena bracket in Arena
Season 7. We still think the 3 vs. 3 and 5 vs. 5 brackets will
ultimately offer the best play experience, especially for very
competitive gamers for whom game class balance issues are most
noticeable. However, we recognize that many players just prefer to play
in the 2 vs. 2 bracket and will miss the chance to earn the current
season's gear. Therefore, we are going to still allow the 2 vs. 2
bracket to grant access to the current season of gear with three
important exceptions: the current season's weapons will not be
available for purchase, the current season’s shoulder armor will not be
available for purchase, and players will not qualify for the Gladiator
title/rewards unless you earn the appropriate rating in the 3 vs. 3 or
5 vs. 5 bracket. We look forward to the changes in the next major
content patch and hope to have a great next Arena Season.
