I remember in WOTLK you had to have a certain amount of rating to get the best pvp gear available.
It was really hard to get that gear and you really had something to strave to.
Nowadays you can just loging once a week do your weekly cap and get the best pvp gear out there atm.
So i would really like to see that you need rating to get the "Better" pvp gear. This way you are doing arena's not just for fun but also for rating/better gear. You need rating in order to get it
People that didn't play wow since wotlk or earlier might not understand this and not support this idea but i think the people who did would like this one.
Let me know what you guys think is best:)!
