Even though the vendor will display these items as red, and still says rating is required, you can buy them regardless and equip them.
You cannot get the arena T2 weapon or shoulders but you can get the arena T1 ones.
I had around 11K honor after the conversion and was sturggling on what to spend it all on.
Head to the arena vendor in Dalaran sewers and upgrade.
suspect its a bug?
It's a bug, and I think the rolling restarts that just happened fixed it.
but I could be wrong (they did fix the flying in Azeroth bug though) :(
Nope, it's intentional. There's a blue post about it somewhere. Also, I just got some things after the restart, so it does still work.Quote:

I cannot recall a time when any similar situation resulted in anything but the equipment being taken away from the players.Quote:

When will the rating requirement be fixed?
It will require a client-side patch to update the tooltip.
It pays to be a botter / afker.
Sweet! my badQuote:

Picked up a 270 gloves on my Pal, nice update from my 200 ones .....
No, it is intended, as you see from the blue post link. The bug is that it is red on the vendor.
Just because you are able to enjoy a certain gear doesn't mean its off limits for everyone else.Quote:

There is 251, 264 and 277 gear. You don't need a rating, that is a bug that it still shows that you do. If you remember, after an arena season ends, they let everyone have the previous season's gear for honor. The 277 weapons/gear need a rating still. Then next season (4.0.3+2 weeks), you will need conquest points for top PVP gear. You get conquest points from arena, rated BG (preformed groups only) and I think the first daily win from a BG.
It doesn't hurt for others to get gear that you already have. Shame on you for being selfish. If you want better gear than others, wait a few weeks and do arenas again. If you can't stand people gearing up slower than what you got it, then go to a different game.
the ilvl 270 shields are stupid cheap, i mean it was like 70 honor... I got that from one losing BG. Not sure if i feel like farming for the wrathful set stuff, given that in less than 2 months I'll be replacing it anyway.... but it might be nice to have a bit of an edge, or at least more equal playing field when the gates open.
I was not even half as serious as you think i was :)Quote:

This is brilliant, got my shammies the weaps, offhand and totems, working on the helm now......
what do the weapons cost?
~1850 for the 1h weapons, 2550 for the 2h weapons.
If Blizz would fix all the disconnect issues regarding mouseover and zoning I'd be a happy camper--As it is, about 1/3 of the BG's I join one of my DK's client's crashes and I have to leave, wait 15 minutes, and then restart. Sigh.

Shrug. If I had QD weapons I would probably prioritize upgrading armor first.
