Nope.
It's not like it's hard to get a craft or a heroic weapon.

Crafted weapons suck, and the only other epic 2h is on par with crafted 2h mace.
I would like to see something better then what drops in heroic HoL, something in between the HoL axe and 25man Naxx. I don't have time to raid, but what little time i have its enough for pvp, but I cant set a schedule to do arenas, and i dont want to hear the same lame excuse from everyone "then stop playing". There already giving out the S5 gear, why not a S5 weapons like it was in BC and pre-bc?

because it's arena gear. do arenas if you want arena gear. the ability to get it through honor is simply to help you gear up to do arenas. get used to it, or don't pvp.
So was Season1, so was Season2, those where Arenas gear at one point.
When those seasons ended you could get the gear/
weapons
at the cost of points and marks, w/o arena rating.
Why don't they just carry the tradition on...? that's right.. they don't want the hard-core pvp/pve junkies complaining that "Mr. Casual" can get gear that's on par with there hours and hours of work. Even though its not on par, its still old gear, compared to whats currently or will be available.
Prior to end of S3, and WotLK release, i was fully decked in S2 gear, weapon and all, and I was happy. I only needed to play an hour or so a night and i was able get full epic gear in the end.

Then right, get rid of ANY easy epic loot, if they/you don't want the casual player to acquire anything nice.
Just have Heroics with better blues. Maybe just use the badges for only the epic gear, say 50 badges and you get a epic chest piece that's slightly less then naxx 10 man in quality. And say 150 badges gets you a 1h and 200 gets you a 2h, much like for the SunWell badge gear. Those 1h fist weapons where sweet for fury spec!

Actually it is, when you have never stepped foot in a level 80 dungeon before, and dont really want to.
And for crafted weapons? ohlol
Right now, there's 3 category of weapons.
1: 10 naxx, heroics and crafted
2: 10 KT/maly and 25 naxx
3: 25 KT/Maly and Ulduar
Don't you think honor pvp weapons will be near the quality of the 1st category ?

Okay. This is level 80. Whole new game. When season 5 was out, what gear did you get for only honor ? Blue Savage, correct ? That puts you TWO (2) levels behind deadly. Now, there was ONLY deadly weapons. Am I right ? Of course I am.
Now is Season 6. What gear do you get for only honor ? Hateful. Which does what agian ? Puts you TWO (2) levels behind furious. Am I right ? Yes I am. So, it could be that Blizzard only wants you to be able to get gear thats has increase in age and decreased in usefulness twice (which could mean during season 7, the season 5 weapons will be avialable, or not, never know.) Why is this you say ? Because. Right now a skilled player in full hateful will do perfectly fine in arenas. A total retard in full hateful will not be able to get carried by his gear.
At level 70, during season 4, on a SL/SL lock that had 4 total pieces of season 1 (No other pvp gear, not even the trinket) and paired with a priest in s2 gear, I got 1750 rating. Nothing great, but not bad considering.
Yes Blizzard is helping you casual players by giving you gear. But they are also not screwing over the skilled players who take the time to learn their class by allowing you to be carried by your gear. At least in PvP anyways.....

casual player ?
i may play over 5 hours a day, trying to get all the hateful and deadly (without rating) to finally be able to be competitive in arena.... plus now i finally have my 2h epic axe from Loken (lvl 200 only)....i must farm gold to pay those enchant and gem
then you build your team trying to find people geared like you and with a minimum of skills... something hard
after that you enter the arena, and got your team killed 7 times out of 10 or something... after playing 1 or 2 hour just in arena...you start reading about the new build, the new startegies and you find out that you dont have the best class for arena because Blizz nerfed you or something...you say to yourself, lets play for fun but the motivation to play the game is to get better, so you start focusing again on that furious weapon that take over 2000 rating and you are about 300 hours from it if you do good, even a pretty good team often cant reach enough arena pts to get all they want...... wtf
AND after all THAT.... you see that guy with all the top PVP gear with that Betrayor of humanity lvl 226 axe, every enchant, every gem, the whole thing! you ask him how the hell he got that gear, he says ''Naxx and Ulduar'' !
then you kick yourself in the b-u-t-t and say to yourself ok lets go do pve and get that gear....you ask for a group and get in but since since that hateful gear isnt good enough in pve, they kick u out because you do under 2000 dps
I think this is unfair.....just getting that 200 axe was the easiest thing compare to all the time you need to put in getting pvp gear by earning honor, and you end up being a shiet in arena

to get all the top gear used in arena and get a 2000+ team ranking, its almost impossible to get it without doing pve

they added weapons at 1850 rating now, any casual can get that.
all you casuals say that you lack time to play alot. 1850 rating only requir you to put a tiny bit of effort in what your doing. that's not demanding much for a weapon past naxx 25 man level.
if you want something easyer than that you should play a privat server or something..
If it takes more then 2 hours a day to do, then its more then casual for me.
Last time i did 5s it took almost 3 hours to do 10, and this was on a sunday eveing.
