If you don't care about a higher rating, and just reform your team each week with a new random player.
Or with the same player, but because the team rating is low you theoretically get weaker opponents.

You now need 8 wins a week, instead of 5 wins a week to cap for that week.

Not the end of the world, but that's slightly more than a 50% increase in time spent.
I'm averaging 35 games, to get 5 wins per toon or 25 wins in total.
This means 50 or so games per week.

Hopefully more players playing, will mean shorter queues.
But it could also mean opponents much closer to your rating level, which is a combination of skill x gear.
If the system works properly, opposition is very close to your skill x gear level, and you'll eventually win (and lose) 50% of the games.
Meaning, 16 games on average, to get 8 wins... which caps you for the lowest weekly Conquest point cap....
80 games, to cap five toons not running together... or to cap any combination of five teams at the lowest rating.... more so with higher rating.
You may only need 8 wins per toon to cap the lowest points, but it does not factor in how many games it will take to achieve that. While you are averaging 35 games, that number only applies to you running your specific team. The variables are not fixed for everyone. Throw a new team that is sporting a mix between a few pvp items, quest greens and blues, and that number is sure to change. Now consider the 2's I have seen that have a high rated person with a new person. So even if you fight teams with a team rating similar to yours there is a high chance you will face a fully epic toon and one noob. The odds are against you with a new team. I guess my point is with the new change I don't see how arena will be worth the effort. I already have a full time job. The last thing I want to do in this game is spend hours upon hours grinding arena points. In my opinion rated bg's are a failure and this is blizzards attempt to get more people in them. The whole thing will backfire because it's going to discourage everyone from doing both. There has already been an outcry to revert the change on the wow forums.
