Like last expansion I have been saving up my battle ground honor and tokens in anticipation of getting better gear right away when I hit 80 under Wrath. I was really ticked when I found out Blizz is going to wipe out both honor and tokens with release of Wrath. The lame excuse they give is as follows:
“In order to make the transition from The Burning Crusade to Wrath of the Lich King flow as smoothly as possible, all accrued honor points will be reset at the launch of the expansion. We do this to ensure select players do not have an unfair advantage at level 80 from stockpiling honor to instantly purchase the newest Wrath of the Lich King PvP rewards.â€
So way back when we transitioned to BC it didn’t go smoothly because I and many others saved up our honor points? I don’t agree.
Everyone who knows that Wrath is coming out and has a level 70 has the same opportunity to save honor points as I do, and now I and others are select players who could have an unfair advantage? I don’t agree. It is just lame.
Blizz is going to compensate us for out time by offering us Cloaks and trinkest to spend our honor and tokens on. See:

But I have decided now that there is no since in doing BGs I might as well just discontinue my account for a few months.
