I hate arena. I don't want to lose 10 games a week, but they put gear on the vendor that's totally accessible, and in many cases is "best in slot" for my progression level. With this no longer being the case, I no longer have to queue!

Amen, brother.
I'm totally okay with restricting Sunwell calibre epics to people good enough to earn them. I dun like arena either, but the option of picking up strong pieces (especially S3 gear) for very little effort meant I felt obligated to do it. Why would I ignore one avenue of making my character better and more able to do their job in a raid?
So rating restrictions that put most of S4 out of the reach of point farming teams like mine are just fine with me. I'll cheerfully stop doing arena. Y'all have fun at the top.
