I mean that’s kind of the point. In a previous thread, one poster mentioned that in other expansions the cap would be exceeded by conversion points and then you couldn’t spend again until you went back under cap. Others suggested buying pieces before reset then trying to refund before equipping the next day.
If either of the above are doable that’s better than buying OS pieces I probably won’t use or a second gladiator pants with a different enchant.
Spend points now. Use it or lose it.
TBC is over my friend, I understand it is expensive as a warr needing not only a 2h but 1h+shield, ranged, and maybe buying arena weps for pve also (2h sword or something)
Let the people access the gear, it’s only for a few weeks, it will make the BGs very fun imo if everyone who is remotely interested in pvp can get good gear
I agree! Also, please let us (Blizzard) know how arena points will be treated with honor cap.
i’d wager most pvpers are not only honour capped but arena point capped also. there is nothing to buy, also most “brutal caster gear” will have identical stats to “brutal healer gear” (besides 4set bonuses) after prepatch
that’s just the nature of the game, don’t see any reason to be upset about it. you can get your wep and shoulders then get all the honour back within the month of prepatch
I might be misremembering, but wasn’t there an occasion where Blizzard allowed players to exceed the honor (or maybe it was Valor, I’m old and my memory isn’t the best) cap temporarily due to some conversion.
Seems like the sort of thing that should be allowed in these circumstances. Especially since there won’t be any additional items to purchase for honor until after the previous seasons arena gear becomes available for honor.
The titles/mounts are still exclusive so I don’t see a problem here. You’re just angry you have to share gear even though none of it will be relevant anymore the day northrend opens.
“No, and wrong, in that order.”
-I think it was yes and right, in whatever order you want. But your response doesn’t even seem to have a purpose so I think we’re done here. You just want to puff air it seems.
“IMO arena rewards should always be cosmetic, not more powerful gear that most people can’t obtain. Exclusive titles, mounts, and gear re-colors like in MoP are fine.”
-At least it’s not as awful as the classic rank system.
I don’t think you understand what I’m trying to get at. I just want to know one way or the other. If the honor disappears, fine, I’ll buy OS pieces, if not I’ll use those points to buy weapon and shoulders so I don’t unnecessarily waste my capped points on that. There’s nothing to be upset about really, other than not knowing.
No, and wrong, in that order.
I don’t know how many ways I can say I think increasing bg participation is a good thing. Secondly, I could list about a half dozen ways S4 gear could stay relevant for months after launch (depending on character status and purpose). But then again everyone parrots the same talking points about that without exercising any critical thinking skills.
This is how it happens at expansion. We’re all moving on, get on the train.
Not getting information for which no one is adversely affected and for which hundreds (thousands?) of players could make better decisions about how to spend points, and which could be answered in a single sentence by Blizzard? In what universe is that how it happens? I don’t think you even know what the issue is being argued.
IMO arena rewards should always be cosmetic, not more powerful gear that most people can’t obtain. Exclusive titles, mounts, and gear re-colors like in MoP are fine.
So some good news - opened a ticket and at least got confirmation.
"Thank you for contacting the Blizzard Support Team. I’m Game Master Aldathdra and I’m happy to help you with your case!
From what I was able to gather, you wish to know that, since you are honor capped, what will happen to the converted arena points.
After carefully investigating, I can let you know that they do not typically carry over.
If you have more questions regarding other cases, don’t hesitate to contact us!
Sincerely,
Game Master Aldathdra

With this being the case, I will just buy OS pieces before the convert, and try to dump as many points as possible. I hope this helps others.
This is why PVP is dead and WILL stay dead until all pvp’rs have access to good pvp weapons that allow them to compete with sweat lords
Could be fixed with a temporary honor cap increase. Or what I think would be easier would be to make the arena to honor conversion a buyable item like the battleground marks. And just wait until the day before full wotlk release (sept 25th) to force the arena point conversion so people can’t take the arena points into wrath. That way people who have 5k honor points saved expecting the arena gear to go on sale like they did for the last 3 seasons aren’t screwed if they also prepped 75k honor for wrath.
It’s only for a few weeks. As soon as wrath drops, all that shiny gear is worse than greens anyway.
Every BG is 90% boosted ret paladins with collective gear, trashbin death knights in blood furnace greens and the odd one-shottable resto druid someone boosted for gathering in wotlk.
Blizzard made the pinnacle of endgame pvp fun into a welfare state for an entire month, any and all power progression diluted, and the end of TBC; Phase 5/Season 4/SWP progression utterly worthless.
Blizzard making again the same pathetic mistakes that eventually brought retail to a well-deserved 5 digit playerbase. Keep it up.
Your arena points get converted to gold at a specific rate. I can’t remember what it is but they won’t just disappear, that’s what it has always been
