Hello,

I don't have git at the moment and did not test this but this patch is quite simple and should not have any issues.

What bug does the patch fix? What features does the patch add?

It fixes arenapoints calculation rules at season 6 and later.

"As of Season 6 and later, the arena system was changed so that new teams start with a rating of 0 rather than 1500. Consequently, the formula was changed so that all teams below 1500 rating will earn points as if they were a 1500 rated team." Source http://www.wowwiki.com/Arena_points

For which repository revision was the patch created?

[9545] + (was the last time arenateam.cpp was changed)

Is there a thread in the bug report section or at lighthouse? If yes, please add a link to the thread.

Did not find any yet.

Patch target file: ArenaTeam.cpp

Function: uint32 ArenaTeam::GetPoints(uint32 MemberRating)

Original lines 527-530

if(rating <= 1500)
  points = (float)rating * 0.22f + 14.0f;
else
  points = 1511.26f / (1.0f + 1639.28f * exp(-0.00412f * (float)rating));

Patch proposal:

if (rating <= 1500)
{
  //At arena season 6 and later all who have rating less than 1500 will get points like they have 1500 rating
  if (sWorld.getConfig(CONFIG_UINT32_ARENA_SEASON_ID) >= 6)
     points = 1500.0f * 0.22f + 14.0f;
  else
     points = (float)rating * 0.22f + 14.0f;
}
else
  points = 1511.26f / (1.0f + 1639.28f * exp(-0.00412f *  (float)rating));

I only added one if statement to check the arena season ID.

Edit: better proposal
