It's too little, far too late. WoW PvP = downright unhealthy (anyone who has even attempted the grind to rank 14 knows this)

Now if they addressed the issue that equipment (i.e. time) > skill, I might one day poke my head into anything PvP-related.

Wonder if it's possible to do arena matching based on equipment ...

This sounds pretty dumb actually. There has to be some reward other than a buff, otherwise people won't do it. The only reason why people do most BGs is due to the faction rewards.

As long as it doesn't get in the way of questing with my friends, that a flightpath is inaccessible due to eager beavers from the opposite faction maintaining a stranglehold on the outpost, that's fine.

If that is indeed the idea, however, then it should be restricted to PvP and PvP-RP realms only. I couldn't care less what PvP combatants do with their time and effort, as long as it doesn't interfere with how I choose to play; that's an approach WoW's afforded me to keep up to now.

Sounds reasonably interesting, but you would in no way get enough honor compared to the battlge ground bonus (after killing the same player a few times you get no more honor) so you arent really going to gear up doing this.

In addition, one zone gives you a buff, where they mention AQ20, and another zone the buff is for Stratholme.... so...
