I was thinking the same thing as you, Gitcho. I've done two weeks worth of Arena now, since the new season has started. I'm sitting at an awesome record of W0 - L20. haha

Now my gear is not ideal for Arenas, as I'm not gemmed for Res and Stamina and such, but I basically get stomped. I can take out one, maybe two people sometimes, It's pretty brutal, though, as 5 shamans. I have a 5 warlock team, but I obviously won't win anything with them, so I just named their team, "Warlock Dance Club" and let's just say they live up to their name

So I'm a bit bummed I won't get the higher level gear, but whatever. It's not worth trying to do 5 different teams, or at least two, and doing twice as many fights, just to do it. I have other things I'd rather work on, like alts, or whatnot.

I can tell you, though, that even with 10 losses a week and a rating of 0, you'll still collect your ~344 arena points a week. So at least you can buy gear for 12k honor and some arena points instead of 49k honor alone.

Always look on the bright... side... of life. *whistles* lol
