Can't save up for that S3 weapon, not high enough rating, go afk in a BG for S2 gear. I would hate to think what a fresh 70 is going to have to go through if they want to do arena and do halfway well. I understand trying to restrict the gear, but this is getting silly.

This illustrates what people have said repeatedly. Casual arena players aren't going to que to get beat without some incentive. The entire system will suffer for it. I know a lot of people who play casually, on the order of 15 players or so. I can't find one who says he/she will participate in season 4. This should concern people, instead it is met with elitist nonsense about "scrubs" and anecdotal evidence as to how every class can make the ratings because it happens once in a while.
