Finally a reason behind the Season 4 delay has be announced which could be a good thing and a bad thing.

The seasons match PvE progression.

The final door in Sunwell Plateau just opened up on May 20th. We want that gear to begin circulating a bit before the next season starts. That’s how every season works, we wait until a reasonable number of people are able to grab gear from the highest raid before kicking off a season.

How much and when, we’re not saying yet.

Seeing as a few guild have already killed KJ, and one lucky hunter who got the world’s first Legendary Bow. Season 4 could still be quite a ways away. S3 didn’t start till a considerable amount of guild cleared BT/Hyjal, and seeing as the gates have been open for a short amount of time. I predict another month or so before we see more Season 4 Announcements.

I would love to see Blizzard to start taking action for their slow progression and stop blaming it on other things like PvE progress. Sure some people love to use PvE gear in PvP, but most of it won’t come from the biggest boss, mostly bracers/boots/belt and a few rings are used, which all of that stuff comes from the first bosses. PvE guilds and arenas seasons have till WOTLK, no new content will be added and it will stop with S4 and The Sunwell. Everyone has plenty of time to still play with PvE gear even if their guild is just starting BT. A lot of WoW users are either quitting WoW because of slow updates or are changing classes to which they feel blizzard favors more. It would be nice to get blizzard to actually put dates on the seasons, they were just suppose to last for like 4-5 months, not 6+. This isn’t how the pvp community should be treated when we pay 15$/month to play the same season for months at a time.

   Well, I heard a bit different. I heard that season 4 hadn’t came out yet because of the 3v3 tournament. They didn’t want players drawn away from the tournament to get started on S4.. So they’re waiting til’ the closing stages of the tournament or til it ended to release S4..

   Sounds to me like you’re in love with gear progression, not PVP. Waaaa, I want new items, waaaa.

   I’m sure blizzard wants people to have an easier time with a dungeon they have developed for months due to getting welfare S4 epics that are comparable in stats to Sunwell gear.

   (I don’t raid.)
