This is a GREAT change!!! This will boost pvp competition a LOT. Every Joe Blow, to quote someone else, will now be interested in PVP because they have hope. Hope that eventually they can get all the best gear, or most of it. Rating reqs killed hope, and when there is no hope, there is no fun, and no play. Hence pvp slowly died.

Finally Blizzard realizes it is more important to make 90% of the customers happy, than to make 10% happy.

And by adding a cap of points per week ensures that the 80% of the population will never get bored, slowly they upgrade all the gear until the season ends. Then a new season starts and the whole thing starts over.

And to address the insecure elitists with the attitude "MWAAAAA, MWAAAAAA, MOMMMY, I don't feel special anymore because every Joe Blow has the same gear as me, MWAAAAA, MWAAAAA". If you trully are special, prove it in fair competition, that is with equal gear. And you still get to show off that you are special, you get colored armor LOL. I love it how Blizzard slapped all the elitist pricks on the face. LOL.

I LOVE IT. Too bad I don't play WoW anymore.
