thinking of 4 aff locks and 1 resto druid @ 80, opinions?

For the rated BG's, they said it would be your best "x" games for the week, for points. So people would not feel the need to play an enormous amount to be competitive. And that it would be impossible to lose rating in a rated BG.

So they need to (probably already have) develop a system, where your best 10 or 20 games per week equate to about the pace of points earnt by a decent/good team in arena, so both avenues of play have roughly the same potential.

I'm sure if I were to play 500 rated BG's in a week, and had say my top 10 games count... they might all be 5 cap AB wins. Even if I were to lose 350 of the 500 games played. I'm just picking numbers here.

You need to re check your facts Ualaa.

They said you can lose points once you reach a high enough rating. That rating has yet to be determined.

Please re check you best x games for the week as that is also incorrect.

If need I will post source. However, its beta and I am sure things will change.

Also, people who think you will get the best items from rated bgs the same as arenas, well its true atm, however, they said that it will take people "quite a bit of time" while the people who win quickly will achieve the best pvp much sooner. There is also a cap on the points you can receive via rated bgs. Again that cap has yet to be determined.

Edit: The best pvp weapons items will not be available to everyone.

As an update to the original announcement, there will be two tiers of PvP weapons in Cataclysm. The lower tier weapons will correspond in quality to items found in the latest raid tier on normal difficulty and cost only Conquest Points. The higher tier weapons will correspond in quality to items found in the latest raid tier on Heroic difficulty and will have a minimum personal rating requirement in addition to costing Conquest Points. All of the highest-stat PvP armor, including shoulder and head pieces, will cost only Conquest Points and have no rating requirements. We have updated our original announcement text to reflect this clarification.
