I actually think the random BG is a good change, however they could tweak it to easily accommodate people who might prefer a specific battleground.

Generally after your gear grind is all said and done, and honor is pointless except for a money machine... id think most people would prefer to use that gear to do something they enjoy from time to time and the system should accommodate it. In my case, I like to PvP in a BG of my choice and maybe arena a little.
