People in the community are discussing not even to bother purchasing deadly pieces given the cost and instead just going for full hateful since the different in stats is negligible.
Can we please not make the same mistakes again with tbc arena and reduce the cost of the deadly arena point gear (and furious/relentless/wrathful).
There is no reason to keep the costs the same as original wrath given the shortened season time this time around, along with pve gearing being much faster and easier due to knowledge of the game now.

Are they continuing with the trend of short seasons? I was hoping that ended with TBC…

That’s what people are planning to do, but this should not be the case. People should be able to purchase and enjoy the best arena gear for a season in a reasonable timeframe.

Other thing to consider is at the end of every tbc season, rating requirements were removed and gear went on sale for over half off for some pieces.
If it’s going to be a short season, just going full hateful and waiting for the end of season discount might be the move. Buy a few pieces during the season, or wait 2 months and buy the entire set for half price.

Unfortunately, it looks like everything is pointed to shortened season lengths, certainly shorter than the original wrath lengths. People burn through the content and get bored and pressure them to push it out faster.
If you’re casual there’s no point getting beyond Hateful. Wait a couple months and get the good gear for half off.

Even if you’re not casual it’s not worth it.
I think deadly honor pieces are a must but the arena points we will see today after maintenance how awful it’s gonna be.
They’re buffed as it was in s4 (maintenance is done I’m online), but it’s still too costly.
So main pieces hateful outside weps?

If you are losing the difference between deadly and hateful isn’t your problem.
Have to shorten seasons if they shorten raid tiers.
They shouldn’t shorten either imo. Let wrath run for two years. Oh well, they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do.

Did I ever say it’s about that?
All im saying is deadly should be able to obtained and used during the season for a reasonable timeframe. As it stands it’s simply better to just get hateful and ignore deadly entirely.
Nobody in this thread is complaining about that though.
We are upset that it’s going to take the entire season before we can complete our sets (unless we are 2k+ 5v5).
For example some tbc classic seasons were only 13 weeks long. The entire s5 set plus weapon costs over 14k arena points.
Going to be another season just like tbcc, where we don’t spend arena points and bank them for the end of season discount, which isn’t that fun and feels like a bad gearing system.

At 1500 rating you get around 2k arena points per week if you are doing your two daily bgs. Entire set over 7 weeks for 14k points doesn’t seem too bad.

Thank you. I completely forgot we get arena points from the daily when I was calculating.
Honestly it’s not going to be that bad then.
Definitely would prefer a discount but this shouldn’t be as bad as tbcc was. Especially since we are getting good arena point gains and the S4 adjustments seem to be in place, unlike the start of tbcc when people were getting 100 arena points a week until it got buffed.
