I haven't looked closely at the armor, but the 26,500 honor weapons decimate anything I can get my paws on in 5-man PvE hunting or instancing. (I haven't tried one yet, but I'm pretty sure my 4-pack can't handle a heroic, even with a good 5th live player, especially not a boss to get the badges...)

I could camp Lower City instances for rep and get the fairly good mace, but that doesn't shake a stick at the 26,500 honor weapons even for PvE action.

If I could somehow take on heroics, and go after badge gear I'd do that in a heartbeat instead. Tiny guild really limits options...

That's almost a very, very evil thought - doing my four plus a few friends to lose eots matches. Sounds just wrong to do though.
