There should be no reason rated battle grounds should have a pre-made group requisite. And here's why- if you're playing rated battlegrounds your playing for 2 reasons Conquest pts and to earn a rating. That a side it should be your decision as whether you have a premade team or not. Honor should NOT be given in rated battlegrounds, if you want honor go grindout reg bgs. If you want Conquest pts and a rating do rated bgs.

Within this system, i would have it to where you can only get conquest points if your teams wins, period. Losers still get rating points, but do not recieve conquest pts. By having the system this way it creates a tier, players will want to first run regs to get honor so they can compete in rated. In fact you can even make an ilevel requirement for rated bgs- kinda like reg duns and heroics. Considering the conquest cap is 1343 a week, i would have 1 win in rated bg eaqual to 1 win arena, PLUS you're getting your rating up.

At a certain point honor is almost worthless to players, much like how jp becomes worthless when all you need is vp. By taking honor out of rated bgs it creates incentive to run regs for the inital honor gear, and then further incentive to run rated once the player needs conquest pts.

Premade groups and team work are merely means of how to earn the most amount of conquest and rating. They should not be an obstacle to overcome as well.
