Sam, playing BGs is not about honor gear for many of us. Boxers are not on par with arena or rated BGs so our only chance to have somewhat even competition is random BGs. When I multiboxed BGs my win/lose ratio was about 50-60% overall. In specific BGs like AV or IoC I could get better win/lose ratio but overall it's still around 50%. So yea, I could go play arena all day, but there's no fun in it. Arena is only there to get gear, not to have fun. Even if I did win arena all the time, what fun is in a game that you wait 5 mins queued and then it's all over in 2 mins. It's boring.
Random BGs have a certain attraction that no other form of pvp can give us boxers. The fact that they are random is probably the most important thing. It means anything can happen.
Some world pvp can get close to that, but in world you can get outnumbered so quickly that everything can end in like 10 minutes.
