Bashiok -- Rated BGs Now Award Honor at Conquest CapWe've recently made a change in an effort to promote continued play in Rated Battlegrounds. Now when a player is at their weekly Conquest cap they will receive the full amount of Honor from kills, objective completions, victories and losses while in a Rated Battleground match. Those not at their cap will continue to earn Conquest normally, and will only earn Honor once they reach their weekly cap.
Whether you're capped and others on your team aren't, or you're all capped and just want to keep playing, we hope this change will allow more flexibility for those participating in Rated Battlegrounds.

Sweet. I love Rated BG's, but nobody in my guild would do them after we were capped. Now they will :D

I wish my guild did Rated BGs. I'm basically the sole PvPer.

This is a awesome change!! I kept hoping they would do that after you hit the cap. Good thing to as you can use Honor awards to fill in briefly til you get enough Conquest points. Which is like Heroics gear: used to fil in until you have enough Justice Points.

Now they need to do something similar for the Valor point cap... (unless they already do, I haven't been raiding yet, so I don't know).

Yes , this would be a great idea as well.

Is this how it works in raids? What happens when you reach the Valor cap?

Now they just need to fix the bug that incorrectly shows win-losses! Last night I did three rated BGs, won all three, but they all show up as losses. Will this negatively influence my BG rating?

Why can't arenas do this? I love arenas, it's by far my favorite activity in wow... Why can't arenas offer honor?
