In a curious move on the PTR, Blizzard is now allowing PvP gear to be purchased with PvE tokens:

• T4 tokens may be used to buy Season 1 Gladiator set
• T5/Tier 6 tokens may be used to buy Season 2 Gladiator set
• Badges of Justice may be used to buy S2 honor gear
• T6 Sunwell tokens may be used to buy season 3 belt/bracers/boots

I suppose the reuse/recycling of PvE tokens is not a bad thing. With the world going green and all, the digital world should follow suit in spirit. Although, no guild in their right mind would allow these tokens to be turned in for the outlet PvP pieces until the entire guild has been geared out… much less the Sunwell>S3 pieces.

Season 4 Gear Found on PTR
Some Season 4 pieces have been found on the PTR by MMO-Champion. From the stats of the pieces found, it’s no surprise that S4 is just another incremental upgrade. Here is a quick comparison of the S4 and S3 warrior sets:

Keep in mind that pieces popping up on the PTR does not necessarily mean that the S4 start date will coincide with the release of Patch 2.4 as there is still no word on when S4 will start other than the obligatory “we’ll let you know a couple of weeks in advance”. Of course there is no telling when 2.4 will be done so you never know.

   I have a feeling mages will gain 200 armour and lose 20 million intellect next season.

   Yeah strange, Might not be added yet? But hey upgrades are upgrades. Think the new stats looks good. Looking forward to see the weapons and shaman gear.
