Doh. C'mon, let us buy our Season 4 maces / shoulders :S and everyone would be happy.

So we keep the arena points but we still can't buy the items that require a personal or team rating?

That still isn't a solution in my eyes since everyone prolly already have the items which require no team or personal rating.

Sigh....

Blizzard giving us special once in a lifetime offer to buy S4 gloves and 3rd weapon slot items... Oh wait, already got those....

lol dont remove personal rating requirements on s4 gear that would be unfair to the hardcore arena players BUT do give the arena points a hour before resettin arenateams etc? want ma s3 offhanddddddd

You've had 4 months to get enough rating for those, it's your fault for not getting the rating earlier.

By the way, I'm 112% sure of that you're ret, without looking at your armory profile.

I can decide how to spend my time only, not you, not anyone else. And yes i'm ret like 80% of all palas at the moment. Is there something wrong and/or strange about that?

ARCA mage says? That's just ridiculous...

I can't say that this is much of an improvement since most stuff require a rating.

It is a bit humorous that the item I need only have a 1550 rating requirement. I was gone from wow for a few months so I did not have time to get all the points I needed.

Do I read this right? There won't be any rated games at 70 even when s5 begins? : /

Have he said so? No. That Blizz did wrong once doesn't mean that it should be apreciated if they did it again?

Let me see if i understand this right:

You are going to wipe arena ratings BUT will not reset arena points till we hit 71 or s5 starts right? So the whole point of this thread is to say; arena points reset is delayed and nothing else yes?

Ok im not going to whine about how its let people to buy s2 gear with pure honor where we tried hard and made many weeks of games, thats ok cause it IS outdated. I, for one, dont have much time to make a good team, make practices, counter varies kinds of teams etc. but i played about every week for 10 games if not more. And i did gathered these points where i cant find anywhere to spend. I'm a warr, we have one set, theres really nothing we can spend points on.

Go on elitist jerks and tell me i shud have worked hard to get s4 gear. I'm sorry as i have mentioned i dont have time to invest that much time into this, i did what i could. And sitting on about 4.5k honor nothing to spend on. So go ahead and tell me; if i cant play after wotlk and try more on my rating since its reset and only skirmish is available and i can only buy items with no rating req, what am i supposed to with these points? Hmm? You may as well reset the arena points, i mean what the difference?

Ok it may be good not to rush and reset arena points soon as wotlk hits but i cant really see the point. What good of s4 gear will do when wotlk hits? s4 is meant to pwn and play in the treshold of pvp when its available but it IS outdated soon as wotlk hits. Am i the only one who sees this or am i buggered? If so send a wipe team to my house as well blizz. I may need to reset myself but apperantly cant do it myself :P

Just realease reqs and let people SPEND their points...

Oh realy?! Well, no one listened to me when I (Grand Marshall on my warrior) asked not to remove RANK requirement when honor system changed! But no, every noob bought weapons that I worked hard for (and ofc shoulders too, even tho you needed only rank13 for it)! That was about a month be4 TBC came out.

What now? Why this change? Remove ratings then to make it fair, eh? I want everyone to feel my pain that I felt back than!!!

"Hardcore arena players" LOL, try leading AB and WSG premades for 3 month, 7 days a week, 12+ hours a day like I did working for rank14, driking energy drinks and coffe not to fall asleep - THAT'S HARDCORE! Yet, they took away all glory from me, except tag over my head.. thanks Blizzard.

Q u o t e:
We wanted to remind everyone that Arena season 4 is coming to a close. During next Wednesday's maintenance on November 12th, all arena teams, as well as ratings, will be wiped and arena charter NPCs disabled. However, arena points will persist until the beginning of the next arena season, or until a player reaches level 71. Thus, Arena points will be rewarded for rated games played this week and players will be able to purchase Arena items that do not require a team or personal rating. Upon the close of Arena season 4, players at level 70 will continue to be able to play skirmish Arena matches against other level 70 opponents even after Wrath of the Lich King launches

Arena season 5 is currently scheduled to begin on December 17th, and once that happens players who have reached level 80 will be able to compete in rated arena matches where they can gain arena points which can be used to purchase level 80 arena gear, as well as compete for end-of-season rewards. Players who remain at level 70 after Season 5 begins will only have access to play skirmish arena matches against other level 70 players. However, two new skirmish brackets will be made available (71-75, 76-80) for players who wish to hone their arena skills while leveling in Northrend.

Ok I am sorry I am confused

I am not a big arean person and have no raiting to speak of , does this mean I should go buy something with my points? I have like 1300 or should I wait?

Will I still be able to spend them untill Season 5 starts? will items still require the mim rating?

I dont know why your 'attackin' me maybe you think im full s4?
when did I say that was fair or anything that fvckin blows to, get a grip on yourself woman

and ye I consider gettin 2200rating hardcore... requires alot of effort )on a decent battlegroup), atleast a effort I could never come up with, and I aint really that medicore

anyway I dont care that much.. remove it and ill be happy to get s4 weapons, but its just unfair in my eyes so I oppose it

anyway I dont see it happening since we got 'free' s2 availible

Yeah well I don't see it happen too, it's just realy unfair that they done this be4, and in long run it means nothing cuz gear is obsolete at lvl 80. The point is that people who accumulated up to 5k arena points not only got nothing to spend it on, they also will lose all this points soon. Why not remove rating for at least s3 weapons and shoulders?
I'm sure not everyone got em and also it will be a bit comforting for such nerfed classes like shaman, who have no hope of gettin high in ranks currently (just don't start offtopic here, for 1000+ whine/angry shaman threads you can visit shaman class forum, btw they got a reason for it).......

P.S. and you completely missed rank14 part, which is main thought in my post, so yeah, get a grip maybe?

Getting 2200 is hardcore? Yes, it's hardcore if you're a shaman in 2v2, but if you're a retri pala or resto druid - no it's NOT.
