Perhaps me thinking a bit too simply but using this system:
i. S4 gear retains all it's status, at least outside of arenas
ii. Crappy players will still get stomped
iii. Minimum honor grind required to have a fighting chance (rating wise) is gone - great for rerollers and new players
iv. The advantage of playing arena through the previous season (gearwise) is gone
v. More fun for most people involved (?)

Sadly I'm not sure this is true, most people like to blame there loses on something that isn't related to themselves, some will blame bad matchups or screwed up mechanics, but at the moment many blame it on gear difference. The idea they can out gear and then crush people is an incentive for a suprisingly large number of people, or that when their gear upgrade comes in 2 weeks time, suddenly they'll start winning much more. If you let everyone arena in the same gear it points out peoples short comings quicker and they stop sooner.
