The current arena points cap sits at 5,000. This can cause problems, such as the one a player stated on the official World of Warcraft damage dealing forum: "In my situation, I'll have well over 1200 points earned next week and I'm already at 4346 points right now after the update. If I wanted to buy a 4500 point item, that would force me to waste over 500 arena points for absolutely nothing. How does this make sense?"

It seems the developers didn't think this cap made any sense, either. Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street popped into the thread with the following comment :

We understand the problem and will likely bump the cap. Look for an announcement soon.

So how are you doing with arena points? How high would you like to see the cap raised?
