Hello, I've been doing arenas at lvl 70 for the last month but just found out I cant buy lvl 80 arena gear yet, shortly after I was referred to this post,

which says arena points are lost upon lvling to 71, just to make sure it was accurate I filed a petition and received this response:

Greetings *&%$*#$,

Thank you for contacting the World of Warcraft Game Master Department.

Petition: Hello, I've been saving arena points at 70, was going to buy gear for lvl 80 but found I couldnt, I figured Id just save the points til I hit 80, but was just told upon lvl to 71 ill lose all my points, is this true??

Answer: The only time that arena points are reset is at the beginning a new season. It is not based on your level in any way.

Should you require further assistance, please submit another help request the next time you are online. We hope you continue to enjoy your experience in World of Warcraft!

Can you please clarify which answer is correct? If the post is correct and the GM wrong, should really inform them, if I were to level up based on her response and lose my points I'd be losing a months worth of work.

edit: was told to remove my name from the email

I apologize for any confusion caused by this response, Luciette. You will indeed lose any Arena points you may have as well as leave any Arena Teams you are a member of when you go from 70 to 71.

I'll make the GM aware of this. :)
