I disagree on this change forcing people to do rated BGs. At least on KJ Horde, Rated BGs are very few and far between unless you're in one of the 2 or 3 upper level PvP guilds (2.2k+) or in full Vicious gear. Rated BGs (that I've been apart of) are full of Vicious geared teams that execute with surgeon like precision. All of the BG heroes that said they'd shine in rated BGs are likely eating their words. Rated BGs seem to be dominated by the top arena people. And why not? they are the ones with the all the gear.

On my 2v2 team it looks like it would take about 10 wins to cap. (Really low rating). This is very disheartening because I'm already getting raped because I'm so far behind on gear. But we'll see.
