Summary:
– Honor points to tansform into cumulative currency (bound-to-BG in some cases)
– Raids capped at 25 players
– Arena system for smaller fights (2v2, 3v3, or 5v5)
– Arena seasonal rewards and ladders based on weekly chess ELO rating
– Arena matches between same-faction groups (no queues)
– Arena PvP gear to be kept in line with the best PvE gear
– World PvP objectives in the expansion zones (town control)
