With details coming in regarding World of Warcraft's new gear for Arena Season 4, you guys are probably wondering: What's going to happen to the previous seasons' loot? Player Bloom also had this in mind regarding the off-set items for Arena Season 3 last year. As Blood elaborated:

With the new required ratings for these items, will the older versions still be available for purchase for honor? I'm approaching 70 on a new alt and was looking forward to being able to purchase these items, but if they require an arena rating, I won't be able to.

Drysc dropped by the thread to make some clarifications regarding this matter. According to the Blizzard representative, Season 3's honor items will still be available for purchase without a rating requirement after Season 4 begins.

Drysc further elaborated on the dev's general  plans for the rest of their arena gear:

• Season 1 honor set: Removed
• Season 2 arena set: Moved to honor, no rating requirement
• Season 3 non-set honor items: Staying
• Season 3 arena set: Arena rating and cost requirements lowered
• Season 4 non-set honor items: Added with rating requirement
• Season 4 arena set: Added to Arena with increased rating requirement
  

We imagine this update should clear up any concerns for those who were planning to save up the requisite honor points for their Season 3 set. Those interested in reading the rest of Drysc's explanation regarding this matter can visit the WoW forums via the source link below.
