There’s a pretty big argument going on that the face of PVP has been changed forever and I agree. I posted about it much earlier but here are some more details reitterated for the sake of anybody who might have missed it. I like my PVP, I like world PVP and fighting in the battlegrounds. I don’t like fighting in the arena where gear and group composition play a bigger role than I think they should, and yet arena seems to be the only way that most PVP fans will get to keep up with scaling in the game.

Yes, the Season 3 honor items will still be available for purchase without a rating requirement after Season 4 starts. There will be two sets of “non-set” items once Season 4 begins. The Season 4 honor items (boot/belt/bracer/etc) some of which will require a rating, and the Season 3 items (boot/belt/bracer/etc) which still won’t require any rating.

Just to sum up, when Season 4 begins:
• Season 1 honor set: Removed
• Season 2 arena set: Moved to honor, no rating requirement
• Season 3 non-set honor items: Staying
• Season 3 arena set: Arena rating and cost requirements lowered
• Season 4 non-set honor items: Added with rating requirement
• Season 4 arena set: Added to Arena with increased rating requirement (src)
