You should get pvp gear from pvping. Battlegrounds is pvp

We still get tickets from wiping Sunwell shoulders and weapons from early June. So... yeah.

and arena is PVE or RolePlayin? I wrote about this, just read.

So it means that there s no chance so for my idea to provided on the server?

Well considering we once had full S3 requiring rating, then changed it to be only weapons, then after a year or so eventually made it full honor-bought. I'd say our reasons for doing that were probably because we noticed they were simply not working or actually promoting arena at all. In fact, they'd promote win-trading more likely.

Your idea is good in theory, but you have to keep in mind the player base doesn't all want to play arena, be good at arena, have the internet to play arena, speak the language to play arena effectively, etc. This isn't an arena-based server only, it's a lot of other things. So I'm afraid on the current Smolderforge we're not going to be able to really do that.

We possibly, and I've said this for a long time I know, but it requires many things to happen (anti-wintrading system in place for example) but lowering Season 4 costs and rating so it's accessible to more people who play arena. It will happen one day, but there is no ETA.

Maybe idea of lowerin requirement is good, but if it happens, the things like shoulders and weapons must be still only for high rated, maybe it for 1850-1900, coz there are not many teams, and 1900 rating is equal to 2100(or near it) TBC official in arenateams value proportion.
What is ETA ^_^?

Yea if they did a wipe then the amount of tickets that went in would be overwhelming to the GMs. Not to mention as Mynce said we would lose alot of players from the server. I love this server and i wish arena was more popular here, But i don't think their is a working solution to this. If you want more arena than what smolderforge offers then play on a arena focused server.

QFT.

Smolderforge is a funserver, and always has been. It's not possible to just up and change our focus that has always existed. While I want there to be fun environment in all aspects of gameplay here, we cannot always focus on one and massively modify our current environment to do so.

If you're that into arena, I would advise going else where that may better suits your needs. We have made it quite possible to earn gear here in a timely manner, and we've made it extremely cost effective to donate for everyone, only just a few countries are unable to process payments.
