2) the item is randomly determined based on your class and spec, and you can get the same item multiple times.
3) winning a BG increases the chance by 150% (50% honor, 12.5% conquest).
4) Rated BG's will have a 20% chance on a conquest item and a 5% additional chance on a special cosmetic item, like a replica classic PvP set item recolor. this is also affected by the 150% win buff.
5) arena has a proportionally smaller chance to give you an item, based on a predefined ratio for average completion times. if the average arena match lasts 6 minutes with queue and the average RBG lasts 24 with queue, the chance is divived by 4, because you can do 4 arena matches in the time it takes to do 1 RBG.
6) you can choose to spend up to 750 honor per week on 250 honor tokens which give you a chance at a token.
7) if you don't get a reward, you instead get a consolation bag which contains a small amount of gold (to cover repair costs, since I understand this could sometimes prove fickle), a medium to high chance at 25 honor points, a small chance at 15 conquest points and a 1% chance at vanity rewards that are only acquired through PvP (like a pet, a PvP mount or a PvP heirloom).
thoughts? ideas? comments? feel free to rip on this. I know i'm not really fixing something that needs fixing, but PvP gear is so predictable to acquire that it would seem interesting to me to add a small bit of randomness into the mix, something to spice up the monotomy of just grinding out your conquest cap for the week and being done with it.
