My money's on 3.3, actually. I don't think that the Argent Colliseum will be a big enough raid with enough upgrades to justify the removal of these and the addition of a new tier of proto's. They said it's going to be like the ring of blood but more epic... this doesn't strike me as a full new tier of a raid. Also consider that Ulduar is definitely still being balanced, and there's still probably a few changes to go in that regard.
That said, I could be entirely off.

Q u o t e: Will these be going legacy as of 3.2?
Last I heard they would be removed when 3.2 comes out, if this changes we'll let you know.

isnt 3.2 supposed to be out within a ~3months ish? that seems to be a lot faster than the previous drakes, While i like the logic of removing them eventually this seems to be much faster. It should be reconsidered a little bit imo.

WHY! WHY is every freaking mount that I keep working towards in achievements being taken out of the game. Do they just not want people to have them? Or are we just trying to create more elitists that like to sit on the DAL platform and rub it in our faces?

Why? The argent tournament thingy isn't a freaking instance. You saying it's going to have better than ulduar gear in it, which is the only reason to do away with glory achievements in the first place? Does this also mean you're going to actually fix some of the crazily overtuned hard modes before then?

In patch 3.2 the coliseum will hold new 5, 10, and 25 player challenges, so gear has to come with that especially since Arena Season 7 will start and we can't introduce new PvP gear without PvE gear.

Are the Colosseum events going to be actual dungeons/raids or just a glorified ring of blood? As nice as new gear is, it'd also be nice to have a real dungeon too as opposed to just killing a bunch of random mobs dumped into a ring.

I'm going with the glorified ring of blood. But I still have hopes up for a new Chamber of the Aspects fight and perhaps a small Zul'Drak raid fighting that snake or something. They want to pump out that new BG so I think we're screwed in the awesome huge raid zone department for 3.2.

WOW, is that really the standard for how PvE gear scales? Because of how PvP gear scales?
Ulduar's itemization was absolutely terrible... is blame to be placed on the people who itemized PvP gear?

The gear from Ulduar is focused on PvE content and I haven't seen a lot of people using their PvP gear for the PvE content. That said, if we started season 7 and put in a new tier of PvP gear, then a lot of people would use the PvP gear for PvE which we want to avoid.
