Time to get some honor for those missing armor pieces, AV here we come. From US forums Blue post.
No rating except on the “current” season. This is the current plan for cycling the gear sets. Season 3 starts and season 3 gear has rating requirements. Season 2 drops down, no rating requirement. Season 1 goes to honor system. Season 4 starts and season 4 gear has rating requirements. Season 3 drops down, no rating requirement. Season 2 goes to honor system, season 1 is lost to the ages. etc. etc.

Bluepost:
We have some new daily quests targeting a random battleground each day. You’ll want to keep an eye out for Alliance Brigadier Generals and Horde Warbringers near your faction’s battlemasters in all major capitals. The battleground daily quests will reward gold, experience, and honor. You’ll be able to begin these as soon as you’re able to enter the battlegrounds themselves. So if it’s a WSG day, and you’re level 11, you can take the quest.

High King Maulgar was sent to meet his maker.
We all knew this would happen after last weeks attempts, was just a matter of time. So onward and continue with the good job. Karazhan runs will continue like always, so will Serpentshrine. Depending on our success in those we might add Void Reaver to the list, just for the fun of it.

Congratulations to the winners of the tier 4 shoulders, Sharwynn and Shar.
