I only read half the thread, but here's some lines i just gotta say about it...
@ VoA : Yes, it can drop your hateful/deadly gear, but the chance you get the gear YOU want is really low since it doesnt drop tokens, and its on a week lockout. Another thing is that Shoulders and Helm -DOESNT- drop there..
@ "But the PvErs can get PvP gear faster than doing arenas" : Both sides of the medals dont really like it...
Raider view: Why the hell would i use 50 Emblems of Valors to get ONE piece of hateful when i could buy myself that amazing pve cloak/ring?
PvPer view: OMG Raiders can buy Hateful gear with Emblems of Valor, GG BLIZZ THIS GAME SUX NOW
If you bitch that its a faster way to do it, go for it, if you think PvP will be overcome by scrub PvErs that decided to pvp with savage/hateful sets from heroics, you're wrong.
@ People who says WoW is dying: GTFO and go play Warhammer already, good riddance.

personally I think it is assine of bliizard to make world and BG PvP so worthless now because everything requires you participate in the utterly stupid arena system. I have to wait a week for arena points to be tallied? WTF get off your lazy arses and make it instantly tabulated like honor is or remove it as a bloody requirement. I think I might just find another game, things since LK have just gone downhill.
Ummm, yeah. Do us all a favor and play a different game. PvP Gear should NEVER be easily obtained, because if you're dedicated to PvP, then you shouldn't have someone who barely plays gearing the same as you.

Rofl at Deadly shoulder rating requirements on such an ugly looking item
Post by

So what are marks going to be used for now?
For Great Honor
and vanity items like mounts and tabards probably
For Great Honor can't be accepted at 80 (it says I don't meet the requirements of the quest)
That's not true at all. I turn in marks a lot for easy honor. You CAN still turn in one of each mark for about 1k some honor.

The crafted sets are just as good as the Savage Gladiator set.

Okay, just a notice:
All
Armor Sets
are sold in Gadgetzan, too.
I believe for the same price and everything. The vendors are lined up on the NW side of the arena in Gadgetzan.

Can we have a counterpart to For Great Honor called For Great Fame that requires a WSG/AB/AV mark and give reputation instead of honor, you know like there used to be Pre-BC? I know some people have done it, and im willing to put some time in BGs, but have to play WSG 24/7 in hope to get 300 rep is just retarded, compared to how easily people could get the rep at 60

I believe if they are gonna make vault give PVP gear...they should FORCE u to have a certain standing with wintergrasp or a certain arena rating to enter the raid.
Awesome idea. Lets put a 25 man raid together of people with all 2200+ arena rating or equivalent from Wintergrasp. Have fun raiding him with about 15 rogues, 2 or 3 warriors, 5 dks, and 2 ret paladins all specced for pvp. That should go really well. Please think before you type. The reason people are so against arenas is because this game has NO balance between the classes. Certain classes ALWAYS outshine other classes no matter what. If Blizzard wants to force people to do arenas then they need to re-balance the classes to promote fairness in 5v5 combat. That will require nerfing the hell out of most of the dps classes and buffing the hell out of support classes.
I have 1 Deadly 1 Hateful simply because i was the only warlock in the raid, did nothing PVP wise to deserve them. And I think its damn stupid that i can get this stuff without even PVPing.
Oh wow a warlock thinking the game is perfectly balanced for arenas. Thats a shock. I still love your idea though. When you are looking for a healer for a 25 man now you can start by asking them if they have 2200 arena rating. I guess it does solve the problem of getting that gear from raiding in Wintergrasp if it becomes impossible to actually get a group capable of downing the content.
Ok, first off, I didn't ever say i thought arena's were balanced. I was simply stating that I did nothing PVP wise to deserve PVP gear. Its an honest statement.
Second, you are assuming that they would have to make it 2200. I never once said it had to be around shoulder rating. Just some rating in general.And, I also said that a certain Wintergrasp rank would not be a bad idea, as to get people to PVP there more, and at least PVP in some way to earn the gear.
And if you don't like either of those ideas, QQ more. You are just failing to see that despite Blizzard's attempt to bring more people to arenas, handing out 3 pieces of arena quality gear is just too much. Not to mention that it can be obtained without even doing anything PVP. Just wait until you control Wintergrasp and make a raid group that takes all of 10 minutes to beat it.
Now you may want to read and fully understand the ideas and purposes of a post before going off into a rant about how funny a raid group full of 2200+ pvp specced would be. Because yes, that kind of group would look hilarious trying to do it, but this post isn't geared towards saying only 2200 people should enter.
And as for saying "A warlock thinking arenas are balanced', you are !@#$ing retarded. Warlocks are a class that isnt absolutely terrible in the arenas, but we get $%^& on pretty fast. So believe me, I know arenas are far from balanced.
And one last note, shoulders dont drop here, so there would be 0 need to make the req 2200+. Thank you, goodnight.

Seems you forgot two things:
There is an arena vendor in
Tanaris
too:
Argex Irongut
. He sells exactly the same things as
Nargle Lashcord
.

This is honestly the single best wow-related post ever posted on any forum. (Save for "Alamo teaches you how to play drood")

@Volcan: indeed it would be nice if they called it something like Hounourful Gladiator's Armor or Great Gladiator's Armor instead of things like Merciless or Hateful

I can see the point of all this QQ about the mix between pvp and pve gear. My point is more like this. This is the very first Lich King season. People need their gear to balance what LK PvP has brought: the burst dps madness. To some classes more than others, to balance this first discrepancy between classes Resilience is the way to go. This is being said by a priest getting totally destroyed by a PoM mage with two hits - Pyroblast and Arcane Barrage. Is this fair PvP? This applies to most classes really, as a priest's offensive skills are not even close to burst and on a non-resilient priest things go extremely bad. I personally like the way blizz is giving as a reasonable amount of ways to get our hands on the best PvP gear for this season. Most likely this won't happen from here on.
Edit: The looks are, indeed... uglee :(
