I really don't get that argument...I understand it, but I don't think it makes sense. Right now, the arena system is very flawed, in my opinion, and as a result the gearing is flawed. I'm in the same boat as you with class limitations, and trying to get a regular 5s team together is not easy due to raiding and non-game stuff. The rating requirements on the gear will at least make it a bit more manageable for people like me who want to move up in arenas, but can't for some reason.
As for pve being static, sure. But in pve, you have to rely on the rng to get your gear. With pvp, you can gain points with poor rating for weeks on end to get gear that is comparable to T6. When S4 starts, you'd be able to gain points with poor rating for weeks on end to get gear that is comparable to Sunwell gear if this rating requirement wasn't put in. Keep in mind that Sunwell has yet to be cleared...it's nowhere close. It's significantly more difficult than T6, whereas the differences between seasons is gear-related (for the most part). It's currently perfectly normal for you to wipe against a boss for weeks or months on end but move up rapidly in arenas. At least this way, we won't run into as many issues of teams fighting other teams that drastically outgear them, and the difficulty to obtain the arena gear will be on par with the difficulty to obtain the Sunwell gear, which is the way it should be.
