So... correct me if I'm wrong, but in a few weeks/months we'll be able to buy S1 armor and weapons for honor points.
Nice, for people like me who don't play arena (yet). Good stuff will be available easy and cheap, and if you saved some honor you can get it right after reaching level 70.
But what are the consequences? The S1 gear is better than the reputation rewards, better than profession-made stuff (bye bye Fireguard/Blazeguard) and -though focused on PvP- better (or at least around the same for PvE-purpose) than most of the blue instance-drops and quest rewards.
Stuff like Vindicator's Brand, Riftmaker, Latro's, Helm + Shoulderpads + Leggings of Assassination etc., it won't be worth all the time and money anymore. Running instances over and over again to get that drop? No more.
So, what's gonna happen? And should rewards and drops be improved? Just curious about your thoughts.
