Playing devil's advocate for a second, the only reason I can come up with is that with BGs awarding conquest points, there will be fewer noob teams for the arena "pros" (lol) to farm for early points. Additionally, it should make it harder for people to "carry" others to higher ranks if that proves true. Arena folks should love this change as it will mean fewer casuals will be cluttering up the arena ladders, making for more exciting and competitive arena play.

Ultimately, more choice can only be a good thing.
