I'm all for rating requirements on the newest season of pvp gear. It keeps the gold buyers from purchacing their way to pwnage. On the other hand, I fail to see the reaon why bliz is keeping season ratings intact for s3 gear once s4 goes live.

It's to get rid of "welfare" PvP.
How do you spot a welfare PvPer? They will have full season 3 except they will have season 2 shoulders and weapon.
Players and Blizzard got tired of people losing 10 games a week or doing underhanded things like win trading or team spot selling to get the PvP epics.
Hopefully, they continue the season 4 ratings into WotLK.
the only problem .. ratings are too low.
i'm no fan of blizzards "everything for everyone" concept.
personally I liked the old arena system. I was a non raider so arena was easy epics and it beat the hell out of doing dungeons.
They probably didn't lower S3 rating requirements because it would have made good PvP gear even easier to obtain compared to what similar level PvE gear is.
