I've been reading that most of the t5 and t6 gear wont be replaced till lvl 80.

[Doostin]

makes sense, my priest didn't replace any of my T2 gear till i hit 70 and started getting a few upgrades. none of it was worth breaking up the full set for really.

I can tell you for a fact that T6 gear will be replaced by blues around 74ish..ill look for some links. maybe not all..and depends on if you can get yourself some blues. But ( set bonuses aside) most level 74-75ish blue is better or on par with t6 in wotlk.

Can't wait till expansion. My friends and I (11 accounts in total) aren't even going to waste our time in Kara and other 10 man instances. Not worth it to grind those and then head to Northrend to get a green item that replaces my purples :P ATM I not even for sure I can afford the expansion... ;( Awhile back I just got myself caught up and I don't think me or my credit card can take another hit.

Pretty much the only real advantage will be normal BG honor; saved arena points reset but BG honor will not.

Looking at Burning Crusade, a new to 60 toon in mostly greens, with the odd 50th-60th blue piece, had absolutely no difficulty leveling in BC to 70th.
Sure, level 60 purples would be an edge, but greens allow for quick leveling, especially considering focus fire of multiple toons.

So whatever your gear level, if your toons are 70th for opening day of WotLK, you have an equal chance as anyone else in the march to 80th.
At 80th, everyone will have close to the same level of gear. Level 80 quest rewards will be superior to the current top arena/raid 70 gear.

The only advantage from BC to WotLK will be the ability to immediately purchase a few pieces of low-end (BG) pvp gear for your 80's.
That's assuming you PvP, if you're on a carebear server like me and exclusively raid/instance the field will be level in basically all regards.

Normal bg honor is getting reset when you hit 71.

I'm pretty sure honor is getting reset with the patch, not when you level

They do it so people can't stockpile honor then buy all the awesome new PvP gear as soon as they hit 80

They did it with BC and they're doing it again

I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that it was indeed level 71 or 70 or such. This way they won't screw over the poor casual level 10-69 follks who have been PvPing as they level. They should still be able to buy the level 70 PvP honor gear with their hard earned honor.

Of course, I'm not sure where I saw it, but Ellay's statement sounds familiar.

Bg honor will be reset at the release of the expansion - no indication that level matters.

Arena points will be reset when you hit level 71.
