They did this so people will have to grind out new honor gear instead of sitting in full conquest of the prior season and not having to do any bg's. It's just another way to make the game the world of grind craft.
With this new change there is no reason to arena or rated bg for conquest gear. At the end of the season the honor gear will be better than all your arena gear. Why waste the time grinding for gear that will be replaced by honor at the end? The only reason to arena now is for the title and slightly better weapons if you can hit 2200+. Otherwise you may as well just use the honor gear until the new honor gear is out.
