It's the fact that you've worked hard for and earned a new uppgrade you can be proud of and enhances you character. Achies pets mounts are fun and all but it wouldn't be cool if u beat deathwing on harmode and you get "drums" a deathwing minipet to show off!!

Not fun just...not fun
I agree, WoW is evolving, as it always has. Even season to season it's been a different game for most classes. I do like mounts and titles and such. You can armory any of my toons. I've never been a hard mode instance clearer, I've never been glad.

I just don't think rating requirements for your gear is the answer. They already do gear color reskins. All of the T10, you can tell at a glance if the person is 251, 264, or 277. I imagine the same will be for the arena sets. I understand getting to 1800 is an accomplishment. I'm currently clawing my way there myself. I may make it, I may not. If I don't make it I didn't have any less fun getting there. I just don't like the idea of being held back by gear when I can't get the gear I need because I'm being held back.

In PvE you've always been able to farm your points daily. You could be in a terrible ICC guild and still gear up via frost badges. Hell, T9 and T10 you could get an entire 5pc set just from grinding heroics. These arena changes are just bringing PvP gearing in line with PvE.
