Quote:You can't compare honor points with gold. Gold is used for practically everything -- you can buy crafted/dropped PvE/PvP gear, mounts, spells, talent resets, etc. with gold -- you can't do that with honor points. Gold can be transferred between characters.
Honor points are more similar to Badges of Justice than gold. Both are currencies that can be spent towards gear and nothing else.
The biggest issue at hand is death knights, however. Death knights shouldn't have any trouble collecting gold; you can farm gold on any toon, and only people with at least a single high level toon can make death knights. Honor, though... you can't transfer honor.
Not resetting the honor system is clearly not fair to death knights.
So do a BG here and there while you are leveling to 80. The PvP gear won't matter until then anyway.
Sure it's a bit more work/time whatever, but you also have to keep in mind that most BG games play out a lot faster when you are in the sub capped bracket. That was a good lesson learned from some guildies in that you could max out marks and honor a lot faster doing it pre 70 than starting fresh at 70.
And like Sir Die said, they start at L55, I don't feel that bad for them. :)
