The other big thing about rated BGs (only 10 mans BGs are rated, by the way) is that there is a *strong* incentive to win. You gain conquest points based upon your rating, so it is to your advantage to get as high of a rating as possible. And the only way to gain rating is to win. This is *very* different than normal BGs. In a normal BG, honor points are always rewarded, win or lose. Thus, the incentive is not winning per se, but maximizing your honor per hour rate. Sometimes this means it is more cost effective to lose fast rather than to win slow. -- // T.Hsu
