First of all I'd like to introduce myself I'm Zmonster mostly known as Zhalifa on the FUN realm I've been on PandaWoW for quite a long time and I've achieved 3240 2s rating in S14 with Liquidcityx, Velirium, Lsdfiend, Mldmonster and 2500 3s rating with Magetrainer, Bestworldx, Velirium and Lsdfiend
I'm a 2x rank 1 retail warrior and I play PandaWoW because I personally love MoP and really dislike the current state of retail (WoD)
My retail char: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/sargeras/Zmonster/simple
What I wanted to talk about are: Suggestions
1) Arenas
Arenas are the main thing to do on PandaWoW and it's dominated by the 2v2 bracket since the 3s bracket is dead just as the 5s bracket and RBGS.
There's not many high rated people in the 2s bracket most of the people are either low rated or about 2k.
I think it's mostly because people aren't motivated enough to try hard enough to get rating because you don't get rewarded.
Why PvP and get 2,2k in 3s for cataclysmic elite gear when you can buy it off the store anyways? That's exactly what's wrong.
I think the server should be more rewarding for good players by things like
Rating rewards, that means: Once you're at a certain amount of rating in either 2s or 3s or 5s you can unlock some type of cool weapon or set at a vendor. Things like: Blue Warglaives, Red shadowmourne, or some weapon with a unique enchant.

2) Conquest
Resetting the cap every 2 days is too stressy for some people that go to work or school and can't cap regularly so I thought about a new system.
You can earn conquest only once a week but you can earn it in each bracket
2v2: 1500 Conquest points
3v3: 1000 Conquest points
5v5: 500 Conquest points
Rbgs: 1000 Conquest points
That's a 4k cap. It might be too much and might need some smaller numbers but It would keep all the brackets alive in order to gear quicker. More people would que to cap their characters and would have more to do.
3) Purchasing a new character
Whenever you purchase a character you always get a character with someone elses name and a fucked up face or the wrong gender.
In my opinion you should give a free name/gender change when you buy a new character because it would take you 10 days of voting until you can finally rename it because you can only get 10
bonusses a day.
4) Moderators
In my moderators shouldn't be allowed to observate the english channel if theyre not speaking semi-perfect english because alot of stuff can be missunderstood and lead to a mute or ban due to a missunderstanding.
Most of the moderators I've seen or talked to have been very irrational or didn't even respond. They don't really have social skills from what I've experienced even tho i may be wrong.
The only good mods that I've seen in perspective of sociality were: Casualties and Lanstus even tho both of them quit. Maybe some of you dislike Lanstus but he can be a nice guy and he actually talked to people.
Here's an example of one of your mods being totally unqualified for his job and having 0 social skills whatsoever.

5) Tournaments
Each week or two should be a 3v3 Tournament being livestreamed by PandaWoW it would make the server more competitive and attract new players to join the server.
The Tournament should have a prize-pool of 600 bonusses each player for 1st place, 450 for 2nd and 380 for 3rd place.
6) Livestreams
I think you should implement a Livestream button on your website where everyone who visits the PandaWoW site can see who is streaming right now and he can have a deeper look into the server.
It would also support the streamer and your own server because livestreaming it advertises the server for you. I'm a livestreamer on PandaWoW and I'd be glad if you'd implement something like that *http://www.twitch.tv/warrtrainer
That's it for my post and my point of view on improving this server.
I may have critisized it on some parts of this post mostly on the Moderator part but PLEASE do not see this as any kind of harsh critisizm or insult I really don't mean any harm to the server im just trying to give you suggestions to improve it. Please give out your opinion about this post and some suggestions if you have any :D
