It really hurts you so much that someone spends 5+ weeks on a single piece of gear, huh? That's a major blow to your ability to effectively play the game?
Elitism is stupid. Calling arena gear "welfare" is stupid. Get off your high horse about a video game. Putting ratings on everything doesn't do anything but reward min-maxing instead of rewarding, gasp, having fun in a game. While I understand their shoulder and weapon rating policy, since weapons are very viable for pve use as well as pvp and the shoulders are very signature, everything else is just a way to pretend that they're making the whole system more legit. It doesn't make it more legit and it doesn't introduce any more real competition to the system.
The best measure of "skill" in WoW pvp is going to be the arena tournament realms where everyone has the same gear. Trying to force that onto the normal realms so it's harder for people to catch up and compete is silly, especially the ratings on the honor bought gear.
