Bashiok just announced on the official World of Warcraft forums that Rated Battlegrounds will now award Honor once players hit their weekly Conquest cap. Here are the details straight from the blue post:

"We've recently made a change in an effort to promote continued play in Rated Battlegrounds. Now when a player is at their weekly Conquest cap they will receive the full amount of Honor from kills, objective completions, victories and losses while in a Rated Battleground match. Those not at their cap will continue to earn Conquest normally, and will only earn Honor once they reach their weekly cap.

Whether you’re capped and others on your team aren’t, or you’re all capped and just want to keep playing, we hope this change will allow more flexibility for those participating in Rated Battlegrounds."

So what are your thoughts on Rated Battlegrounds? How has your team fared since the feature launched with Cataclysm?
