Take note, ladies and gentlemen. On this day, Blizzard kept their word. You may want to pay attention to today's date as well, not only because it is indeed a rare and momentous occasion, but also because two weeks from today, Season 3 of Arena PvP begins. That's November the 20th - the morning after a weekly scheduled maintenance. And what does all of this mean, exactly? Well, outside the realm of the team-rating resets and the introduction of Season 3 gear, it would probably be a good idea to SAVE YOUR ARENA POINTS at this point. S3 gear will cost just as much as S2 gear does now, and even if you have your eye on a current piece (like I do), it'll be marked down come the 20th, so hang on to those points either way. Also, if you haven't already, now might be a good time to start hording your 75k in standard BG Honor Points and Tokens, to spend on the refreshed Veteran's gear and even S1 gear if you need it. Not only does that gear offer a great starting point for those who lack Resilience, it's also sexy as hell. Consult Drysc's handy Q&A resource for further information.
Speaking of that post, did anyone else notice the bit that mentioned Season 1 Titles being reset? Apparently, titles are only offered as a reward for the previous season's performance. If a player does not participate in the following season or does not perform as well, they will either lose their title or it will change based upon their new standing, respectively. In other words, S1 Gladiators would have to perform their PvP feat all over again during S2 in order to keep their title. Otherwise, POOF, the title is gone. Pretty harsh imho, even if just a little.
Suddenly, having a permanent High Warlord title seems like a much greater thing than it did a minute ago...
See you next season. =)

Dude, at least they aren't doing what they did to us with the rank 14 nerf.
"LOL EVERYONE WE GONNA GIVE OUT FREE PVP GEAR, JUST GRIND 2 DAYS AND YOU TOO CAN BE A HWL!"
Yeah then they nerfed that down so that none of my alts could benefit from it either. /shakecane
lol, yeah, I hear that. But everyone will get the gear sooner or later, whether through 10 lousy games of Arena grinding per week or waiting 2 seasons for the gear to be available through regular honor. I think it's a good thing, though. After our grind, I'm glad we don't have to work for gear that'll eventually be handed out.
messed up
