You should edit your title to read "RebornDragon cannot understand the official statements of a posters on the blizzard forums, details within!"

So Blizzard added a new battleground, a new arena ladder system with seperate rewards, several new world PvP objectives and a good portion of their balance changes are PvP related, yet your opinion is they don't care about PvP?   Maybe it isn't the ideal system, but it is very playable.

The thing is Blizzard can fix Battlegrounds where how much you contribute to the match determines how much honor you receive.  I agree that pvp gear should not be as good as T4 or T5.  But there is a good percentage of players like to do pvp/battlegrounds and there is nothing for them to work towards to.  Not everyone wants to raid.  Yeah there is arenas, you only get so far in that if you are a certain class.

Just like people would like a new Battleground or two, one CM said, "then no one would play the old ones"  Exactly, there is nothing that AB, WSG, AV, EoTS can offer items to level 70 characters.

And how would you "fix" that to determine how much you contribute? How would that effect healers or support classes? How would you prevent it from being easily exploitable and farmable?

BG's are fun. They are a blast. They give a reasonable reward for the effort. BUT they in no way require the effort or organization that Arena teams or PvE Raiding require. BG rewards are nicely balanced to be exactly where they need to be.

When they released the new honor system just before BC came out, every bwl/aq40/nax raiding guild stopped PvEing, because it was so much easier just to pvp insted of raiding and still come out with an epic every other day. If they made epic sets on-par with raiding gear, no one would PvE.

nothing you can do about the lecher's in BG's until the honor system is changed. a common misconception is that all the people in the cave are afk or using an afk mod so they don't have to be at the computer.

but the truth is alot of those people are at their computer and just have absolutely no incentive to leave. you get virtually the same honor for just sitting there leeching honor, why leave the cave in the first place? its not like killing npc's to get honor is pvp anyways.

that just doesn't make sense to me, the "bonus" honor you get from doing av is far greater that the honor you could possibly get from actually pvp'ing. the wow honor system is completely broken and until they fix the problem they should not buff the rewards that is for sure.

i do agree they need to address the honor system but buffing the rewards is not the answer, they need to address the real problem and that is how you get honor.
