[#SomeChanges Suggestion] Extension of Arena title cutoffs by duplicate/alt characters - like on retail #771

Classic WotLK is in need of the attribute cited below. It was implemented on Retail in March earlier this year:

https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23923813/dragonflight-1007-content-update-notes-now-live "Developers' note: End of Season PvP rewards will have the rank cutoff extended by duplicate/alt characters by the same player battle.net account for rated arenas, rated battlegrounds, and rated solo shuffle. For example, if the cutoff for Crimson Gladiator would equate to the top 100 characters and 5 of those characters are the same player, the cutoff will now be the top 104."

The Retail ladder system was absorbed into Classic with the release of WotLK and it was positively received. The attribute above has since then been added to Retail and it's only logical that it follows into Classic.

It's a modern gaming issue that needs to be addressed in Classic as well:


It was also discussed on reddit a few months ago with positive feedback: https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/13wpsgc/duplicate_accounts_in_pvp_extending_rank_cutoffs/

Worth shining some light on this for Cataclysm.
