Oh jibby, the gear argument. Well, let me tell you, physical classes are all build around their weapon. If you can't get to 1850 for your weapon(s) in 4/5 S3, then....you know the drill. S2 shoulders to S3 is barely noticible, it's just the fact they're apparantly 2k material, but you can't really claim they "outgear" you.
If you looked right you'd see I didn't at all dominate even in those lower brackets, because frankly gear doesn't matter one bit when you run with 6 second lag spikes (when you run double/tripple DPS that's about half a game) and 3 FPS in combat. If you start a new setup that neither of us have any expirience with (I never ran double DPS or with a hunter/Spriest/Mage, ever) and have the worst PC in the universe, everyone would feel inclined to start at lower ratings to get decent practise when you're not getting rolled by people that have played their setup for months. I still think having an awesome match with a rerolling rogue/priest from a 2.2k+ RMP team was by far the prime of the evening.
I think it's rather terrible that new 70s are pigeon holed in BGs for weeks to be competative, I really wish they'd change this somehow. Like I mentioned I have a terribly geared shaman alt that used to arena (before all my former arena partners quit, also the reason I'm not actually around the 2k+ mark anymore) and I just could not be bothered to farm all the honour and marks for the off bits. I'd love to see a decent gearing up system (although I guess the rep bought pieces are a decent start for arena PvP), give up your life to farm system is just bad when you're aching to really start.
