The first 'mini patch' since Ulduar's release will go live today, bringing with it the new arena season.WoW players will be dancing in the streets of Dalaran today as season five is finally over once and for all. A new 3.1.1 patch will go live, bringing with it the new 'Furious Gladiator' gear and a new season. In case you don't already know, the rating system has had quite an overhaul. You can see the ratings required to purchase every item below:
Bear in mind, of course, that teams will now begin at 0 rating. Early games will be worth around 20 points until a team catches up with its 'match-making rating' (previously known as hidden rating). The number of points per victory will be reduced significantly by the time players reach this rating. Finally, the match-making rating can be viewed in the honour pane.

Grats to new Gladiators, Duelists, Rivals, Challengers & Deadly Gladiators.
I've heard ppl are getting 47 points for a win early on, and some of the ppl i play with even got +30 points for a win at 1900 rating...
I mean why dont they just put vendors in dalaran where you just talk to them to get your free epics. This shit is retarded. First they make the boss that drops pvp gear, undoable for ppl solely in pvp gear. Secondly they drop the rating system to this "design" where even the crappiest pvp baddies can get their furious set within notime.
And a reply to eThug: They've completely deleted the deadly weapons from vendors. Which means if you havent got the deadly weapon as we speak, you won't get it, ever. Good thing is for all the baddies, they added Furious weapons in 2 tiers. First one is available at a fairly low rating (1850).
so does that mean i can pvp for 24 hours and then get some 25man uldar loot please?
