Why did it need to be slowed down?
If by âyouâ you mean me, then you have it wrong. My favourite PvP expansion was WoD, I enjoyed gearing up and playing then the most.
You, and those who like having rating gated gear, already have the weapons and shoulders and titles to give you something to chase. No need to add more.
Well I didnât play in TBC, so I do have things to chase.
/facepalm
I see it now

Why does it seam like anyone who plays the game different than you is an âoutlierâ
Doesnât adding a rating requirement to S1 and S2 screw over non-plate wearers? Warriors and Rets will get their 2H Blacksmith weapons pretty easily, which are likely better than the Arena weapon in S1 and S2 that require 2k rating.
I donât recall casters getting an equivalent crafted weapon for S1 and S2. So, the rating requirement system in S1 and S2 screws them over because BiS weapons will not be as easily accessible to them.

Yep. It also gives a big advantage to players who play early. Showing up to the party a little bit late pretty much means youâre facing a huge up hill battle against better geared opponents.
It also gives a big advantage to hardcore pve guilds who are lucky enough to get weapons early. If you donât happen to have such a guild. Youâre always playing from behind.

What can we do about it, no matter how many people dont like it and complain they will put these changes in anyway. so sad
Thatâs not true they have already reverted a lot of changes because of feedback.
Itâs sort of silly how blizzard doesnât even understand their own pvp system and what this is going to do.

Terrible change, TBC should have never had rating requirements. TBC arena is so imbalanced that most specs/comps canât even dream to achieve 2000+ rating.

Remember, when s3 comes out you can get s1 gear with BG honor and it wonât need arena points anymore.
And also remember, if itâs easy everybody will get it and thatâs not fun. easy is not fun ⌠thatâs why we wanted BCâŚ
Ty guys for your support on this. Iâm glad to see pretty much the front page of the bc forums kinda agreeâŚI agree with Rorshak if enough people are upset (as it seems to be) mabey we have a shot at getting this changed.

I might need to look up what outlier means, because it seems like they are the only one with that opinionâŚ
Yup and for the guys who like to gate keep they donât realize its gonna SUCK because playing the same 2 to 5 teams waiting in Qâs forever dealing with at least one team dodging and another sniping sucks soooo bad.
I want game, I want them to pop, I want to play more than just a few teams, I want some variety and fun.
Gate keeping KILLS ARENA.

same old same old gating pvp weapons behind insane brackets that 85% of the player base will never get just so it forces them to go do a raid. Anyone that says 2050 rating + is easy needs to link there glad titles 2050 rating would put you in the top 10% of players mark

Itâs not even 85% at 2050 itâs 97% if you go by live charts. Only 1% of all pvp players will get to the shoulder mark at 2200.
This is absurd considering the PVE equivalent requires you to show up blindfolded for free gear. I donât mind having a high rating requirement by the time sunwell comes out and even 1850/2k for Tier 6 but for T4 LOL its a complete joke.

Ya I think what will happen is it will start out ok (like retail) and hard crash where its extremely bottom heavy instead of seeing a more pyramid type of ratings distribution. Itâs not just these changes alone but also how much easier the pve content is relatively.

Because I did Arenas and nothing but Arenas for 6 years and never once did I play with new players and someone suggest that we tank our MMR before we start playing.
If you and your friends did that then you are an outlier.
