Blizzard Delays Release of 2200 Rating PvP Weapons

Back in December, Blizzard announced that Conquest weapons requiring 2200 rating were going to be made available on Jan. 25. According to a post by Community Manager Daxxarri, Blizzard now plans to make the weapons available approximately two weeks after the release of patch 4.0.6. So why the delay?

"The decision to further delay availability of weapons requiring 2200 rating was not made lightly. Currently very few guilds are clearing PvE content that drops weapons of this caliber, which would make rated Battlegrounds and Arenas the primary source for top-tier weapons. We of course don’t want players who are pursuing PvE content to feel as though they must engage in heavy PvP to obtain these weapons in order to be competitive or successful."

Apparently Blizzard has some plans to help avoid similar situations in the future. What are your thoughts on the delay?

I can see the problem. Currently it is a heck of alot easier to obtain PVP epics than PVE blues due to the difficulty of Heroics. Even as a casual PVPer I have several epic PVP pieces and my friend has the epic PVP 2h mace. WE only have a arena score of 1000ish but we can still get 4 wins in a week to cap our points off.
