Okay, so Blizzard let out the slightly bad news that World of Warcraft's Arena season 3 gear will be missing its originally planned release date by a week. That being the case, and as Faytl asked over at the WoW forums, is there a possibility for the devs to at least release the equally sought after (and far more affordable) Season 1 sets? Blue-texter Drysc dropped by with this reply:

The Season 1 gear being put on the vendor is part of a very large event that kicks off the entirety of Season 3. It's apparently a bit more difficult and labor intensive than just spawning in some vendors with the way our NPC and vendor tech works. I won't claim to know any of the technical details, but it's something that's been brought up, and would be a very large amount of work messing with an event that's already tested and locked down.

[edit] In other words, sorry, no. It's a one week delay for Season 3, and thus, for Season 1 to come to honor.
