Official Season 4 Gear Requirements

[Mirajj]

This will drive people out of arenas and PvP. As a casual PvP player that actually plays for the PvP I don't care. I don't like to lose in arena, and I grumble but I still have fun as long as I know that I played as well as I could. If I lost to someone better oh well. If I lost because I made a stupid mistake I get grumbly for a minute or two then it's done. I try to learn and move on.

Yes, but in this case you are the exception, not the rule.

I don't think it'll drive folks out of arena/pvp right away. It'll take some time, but I do think it'll drive a decent portion away.
