So I am wondering why my ranked pvp gold rewards are so different than my buddies..

## finding matches around 850 gold.. ending average about 2700 gold

him: level 175.. defense team strength 7500.. .stone spirit (for the +500 gold this week)..deathknight armor

finding matches around 1800 gold.. ending average about 5000 gold

You are double his level. It’s all about the relative strength of your opponents, from what I can tell. He’s fighting more people that are way above his power level, thus earning more gold.

That’s because you must have a team with an higher team value meaning the difference between the opponent and your team value is lesser, ending in smaller earnings.
