Yes, I love WoW’s Battlegrounds. I love “Evocare” too.

Just archiving some comments. No time to organize.

You also get honor points for accomplishing certain goals within the BG, like capturing a flag I would assume. It’s also kind of doubtful that you would face the same 10 people if you entered another BG. It remains to be seen how it would compare to HPs outside of the BG, but I wouldn’t assume the worst just yet :)

I would.

The reward for winning is good. The point is that they completely inverted the model:
– It’s OUT of the BG that you CAN reward for goals and CANNOT reward for direct kills.
– It’s IN the BG that you CANNOT reward for goals but CAN reward for direct kills.

(you “cannot” reward for goals in the BG just because these goals should be persistent and have an actual effect on the environment, hence more appropriate to the world outside that is, in fact, persistent. A common examples confirming this rule is the players leaving ‘en masse’ the BG when they are going to lose in order to make it reset and prevent the opposite faction to cash the reward)

It’s fun because lots of players figured this out, but not the designers. Many begged Blizzard to stop rewarding for direct kills outside the BG. The fun is that with this system INSIDE the BG the direct kills mean jack shit. While OUTSIDE the BG the direct kills are EVERYTHING. Vice versa, INSIDE the BG the goals cannot be accomplished since the opposite faction forces the instance to reset before the other faction wins. While OUTSIDE, where this problem wouldn’t exist, we have NO GOALS at all.

They simply cannot break it more than this. Smartasses.
