While I know that some people dont like it.  You can get some great gear upgrades from doing BG's and Arenas.

Right now Jyggle still has 2 pieces from honor that she wears for raiding, it took a little time but it was something I could earn from doing a few bgs every once in a while.

Arenas only take about an hour a week and you can get gear that's on par with T5 or T6, just form a team, go play around and get points.  We should have everyone in the guild doing this weekly, it's going to help you upgrade your gear and while that gear may not be the best for raiding, it's going to be much better than what you have and you're going to help the whole guild advance in this content.

Also now you're going to be able to buy Season 1 arena gear for just honor.  Only about 15000 a piece and some tokens.  This gear is almost on par with Tier 4 gear (stuff that drops from Kara).  Cayis by just playing a few hours a week will have enough honor to get 2 of the Gladiator pieces and one of the veterans pieces, removing 3 blues in the process.  

I encourage people to form up teams with whoever they can, they're actually pretty fun and can be quite addicting.   Bang out 10 games, get those points, get the gear.

If anyone has any questions on arenas, as far as making a team, some hints or whatever, send Jyggle/Cayis a tell and I'll help you out however I can, just dont send it when I'm in my arenas!
