Wow, reading this again closely--Seems we were wrong. It sounds like all that's changing is that your weekly Conquest cap via arenas is only 2/3 of what the equivalent rating via rated BG's would be.

IE, if you have 2k rating in Arenas and your cap now would be 2200 points, after the patch your cap would only be 1452 points. Meaning basically, there's no f'ing difference in points for doing arenas between being a 500 rated team and a 2199 team.

They're trying to fix busted rated BG's by incentivizing them instead of making them actually appeal to most gamers. Sigh.

That looks right Mosg. What I think though is that this applies across the spectrum for arena ratings.

ie. at sub 1500 arena rating, CP cap from arena wins is 1000 points and the last 500 need to come from RBG wins. If you are a 2250 team your arena cap would be 1500 and assuming you have a 1500 or less RBG rating you could achieve your entire 1500 cap from arena wins.

Either way it appears that they do want us to make a serious effort at RBGing at least.

On a sidenote I see ret pallys are getting 10s cooldown on Word of Glory again which should make a few people happier. Haven't played the pallys much in cata but I'd be thinking it probably takes around 10s to generate 3 charges for WoG or am I wrong?
