Blizzards goal in this is, in general, to have teams actually trying rather then just not bother with a lost causes and, in specifics, to help prevent honor farming with one side just fishing or looking around. Not a bad goal.

However, teams trying to win as PuGs will still die in under 10 minutes in WSG and AB. There's a reason I hate WSG, folks, and it's called honor farming teams. The system is incredibly flawed, skewed towards organized teams, and AB and Marks of Honor were a way to at least help PuGs and people who weren't good, but were honestly trying to get better.

Blizzard's change in no way encourages people to try to win. PuGs trying to win versus organized groups will, in fact, lose sooner. It encourages turtling, pure defense. Wanna last 10 minutes in AB? You can try sticking 7 men on one resource and 8 on another. You don't stand a chance in hell of winning, but you might at least last 10 minutes that way. Wanna last 10 minutes in WSG? 10 people on defense. No offense, period.

How does this improve the quality of play at all?
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
