The next World of Warcraft content update, Ã¢Â€ÂœBefore the Storm,Ã¢Â€Â� will include the new PvP Honor System, as well as other new features that will prepare us for The Burning Crusade expansion. We are currently planning to release this content update next Tuesday, December 5. Please note that the patch date is still subject to change, and we will keep you informed of any changes to the plan as they happen.

If the patch goes live as planned, this will be the last week that new PvP ranks under the old Honor System can be earned, as the patch will immediately introduce the new Honor System. We will run one final honor calculation on December 5 and update everyoneÃ¢Â€Â™s ranking accordingly on that date so that players who achieve a new rank for that week have the opportunity to display that title on their character. Please note, however, that no new PvP rewards will be unlocked for purchase with this final Ã¢Â€Âœold Honor SystemÃ¢Â€Â� calculation, regardless of any increase in rank.

For those who have been seeking high-rank PvP armor and weapons, note that the new Honor System will still include these item rewards, and it will actually be easier to earn these items under the new Honor System than under the old Honor System. Those who wish to see how their PvP abilities measure up against other players will still be able to do so under the new Arena System.

ZOMG! Sinterklaas (and Zwarte Piet of course, since we don't discriminate in the Netherlands, no sireeee!) brings the patch on the 5th of all dates available in December! Praise to the Lord!

Betting his Pieten will bitchslap naugty whiners and overpowered paladins with reeds and then stuff them in duffelbags only for them to be shipped out far far away to Spain!
Rejoice!

All serious though - concensus seems to be that "Patch 2.0" will spell doom for current raiding content.
Battleshout tanking nerfed, armor mitigation nerf for tanks, melee dps nerf due to weaponskill and glancing blows as well as across the board changes to class mechanics.

Just remember the duffelbag. You'll play with a SMILE and like it!
Say "Thank you Saint Nicholas!"

Yeah, I've been wondering how the hell you take on the highend raid content with these new changes. But I guess we'll see.

latest pvp reward changes next to normal honor rewards:

Seems all the BG rep rewards got a price change. TUF used to take 80 marks plus some honor, now it's 25 marks and 7k honor. Most of the other nice BG rewards (at least for AV) cost about the same as the TUF. So there's still something to get with all of those surplus tokens.

Here you go:

Stormpike Battle Tabard - 60 AV
Stormpike Soldier's Cloak - 2,250 honor + 10 AV
Stormpike Sage's Cloak - 2,250 honor + 10 AV
Stormpike Soldier's Pendant - 2,250 honor + 20 AV
Stormpike Sage's Pendant - 2,250 honor + 20 AV

Stormpike Mail Girdle - 4,125 honor + 20 AV
Stormpike Leather Girdle - 4,125 honor + 20 AV
Stormpike Cloth Girdle - 4,125 honor + 20 AV
Stormpike Battle Standard - 30 AV
Electrified Dagger - 3,500 honor + 10 AV
Crackling Staff - 4,000 honor + 15 AV
Stormstrike Hammer - 3,500 honor + 10 AV
Gnoll Skin Bandolier - 2,250 honor + 10 AV
Harpy Hide Quiver - 2,250 honor + 10 AV
Stormpike Battle Charger - 50 AV
Lei of the Lifegiver - 7,000 honor + 25 AV
Therazane's Touch - 7,000 honor + 25 AV

Tome of Shadow Force - 7,000 honor + 25 AV
Tome of the Ice Lord - 7,000 honor + 25 AV
The Unstoppable Force - 7,000 honor + 25 AV
The Immovable Object - 7,000 honor + 25 AV
The Lobotomizer - 7,000 honor + 25 AV
Don Julio's Band - 6,750 honor + 25 AV

(1) Price listed is for the max level version of the item. The lower level ones cost the same number of tokens but much less honor, like hundreds of honor instead of thousands.

(2) Presumably the other classes' AB sets are the same price.
