Enjoy your cheap blue BG gear, which is affordable and not half bad and go prance around in wintergrasp. You dont need top of the line season5 gear to play arathi basin, so why cry about it?
The reason you people miss the BC honor method was anyone who wanted to could afk in av for a couple weeks while watching TV/doing homework/reading a book/fapping, and collect epix. Now you have to go outside of your comfort box and actually put in effort for a reward. Yeah the arena system isnt perfect, but if you hate it that much, stick to BG;s and collect your decent blues until next season when the purplez will be sold for honor. If you want the nice epics that bad, well nows your chance! You should be happy, go get an arena team, practice, play 50games a day if you have to. Earn that rating, and EARN you gear. Get something you can be proud of, stop cying to get other players achievements nerfed to the ground.
