The highly anticipated,and for some,deeply frustrating,MoP classic PvP Season 12 is drawing to a close. Blizzard announced on November 17, 2025, that the season will officially end on Monday, December 1st, at 10:00 p.m. PST, leaving players grappling with questions about the upcoming season and, crucially, the criteria for earning the coveted Gladiator title.
Season End and Player Concerns
The declaration, delivered via the in-game character Kaivax, prompted an immediate wave of discussion and concern within the World of Warcraft Classic community.Players quickly turned thier attention to the uncertainty surrounding cutoffs for rated battlegrounds (RBGs) and arena, specifically whether Blizzard will adjust the requirements based on the performance of players’ alternate characters – a practice employed in the retail version of the game and previously in Cataclysm Classic Season 11.

Alt Tracking and Cutoff Clarification
The debate over alt tracking intensified, with players referencing data from the website Xunamate. One player explained the situation: “The last season of cata they changed how things worked and now xunamate is tracking alts but its not factored into cut off as blizzard is giving no feed back theres nothing set in stone just word of mouth people are assuming its like how retail cut offs work based on what they did the last season of cata…”
Though, a potential resolution emerged with a statement from a Blizzard representative, Zirene, who reportedly indicated that the Ironforge cutoffs are accurate and that alternate characters will not impact the eligibility for Gladiator titles. “Zirene has said that Ironforge cutoffs are correct and alts will not take up a spot,” a player relayed. However, requests for a direct link to ZireneS statement on X/Twitter have gone unanswered, leaving some skepticism.
Despite the reported clarification, the community remains eager for official confirmation and a obvious description of the
