Let's clarify a few things here:

1 - 'Only to see the gear became useless just days later'

This is hardly correct. The jump in stats between the ilevel 365 and ilevel 371 items is minimal. Yes; it is technically better, but not to the point of making the 365 stuff completely redundant.

2 - 'I think this is a pretty good compensation package for players'

Fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion like everyone else, but for me personally - and I know a lot of guildies like me - 4000 honour is a drop in the ocean compared to what we actually grind out that weekend. I personally went from hitting 85 on the Tuesday to having full 5/5 holy paladin set, neck, back, bracers, belt, boots and 1 of the rings - not to mention the weapon and shield - by the following Monday. That is a total of roughly 21, 630 honour points in 6 days. 4000 'compensation' isn't 'pretty good'. Don't misunderstand; I'm grateful they've acknowledged the error and I'm grateful they're offering anything as compensation because, let's face it - they don't have to.

3 - I spent an absolute fortune on best in slot gems and enchants for that gear once I had acquired it, which is my other bug bear of this situation. Given the minimal jump in stats I mentioned earlier, it doesn't sting *too* much, but it's still a PITA!

Fair play to Blizz for doing something, boo for not doing (imho) enough.
