I am inclined to believe that many will do just what they say they will do and simply give up, especially when you consider that there are many things to do in this game and arena forms a small part. One thing is virtually certain to me, arena participation will not increase with this change. Magnitude of that effect will determine how this will affect the system and is anyone's guess. Personally, I think it will be a disaster, just my opinion though, we will see.

i'm inclined to agree with the bolded part, but in my eyes that's against the spirit of competition, WoW, and games in general. it's true you can't appeal to every type of audience, but if everything was handed to you on a silver platter, it wouldn't be worth achieving. there's plenty of things you have to grind for in the game, and this is just another type of grind, albeit less quantitative.

/shrug. you're willing to give up because you won't have your s3 shoulders (not that huge of an upgrade from s2 mind you) and full s3 otherwise? or are you suggesting that more than a small minority should have access to the s4 shoulders? that kind of defeats the purpose of the challenge if you ask me.
