I'm pretty baffled by the decision. I don't understand time gating the elite appearance when before legion, set appearances were available as soon as you achieved a certain rating. I understand they changed it due to not wanting people sitting 2k to finish out the set, but that's why they implemented the elite achievements. It's extremely flawed to me how a season 3 reward isn't even going to be available until the end of season 4. I mean, you can't even be guaranteed to finish out the set during season anyways because RNG gearing. I've heard they made the decision because they want to increase participation in season 4 by making you keep grinding for the appearance, but it just demotivates me to even queue next season because I know I can get it next season end anyways with 0 effort.
TL;DR: I don't understand the desicion to have the current season appearances unlocked at the end of the next season.
I just think it's an incredibly poor decision on Blizzards part, and I wanted to see what the forums input on this was.

"The ensembles become available when those appearances can no longer be obtained in rated PvP.
Legion Seasons 3&4 share an armor appearance."
