Exchanging BG marks for different BG marks

Hi !

I was thinking it might be good to input a way to exchange BG marks for different BG marks , like EOTS to AV for example or implement the ability to exchange BoJ to marks.

The reason for this is simple , I noticed as I was buying the lvl 60 pvp gear for transmorgh that most of the parts costs AV marks, all of the 2handed weapons costs 40 AV marks , helm costs 30 AV marks and the gloves costs 20 AV marks. That totals of 90 AV marks.

Alot of the gear costs AB marks to , shoulders = 20 AB marks, boots = 20 AB marks and the chest = 30 AB marks. Then all of the 1handed weapons costs 20 AB marks and OH costs another 20 AB marks. That totals of 110 AB marks.

WSG marks are only required for the leggings wich costs 30 WSG marks.

Eots marks arent required for any of the gear due to eots being implemented in TBC, therefore EOTS marks are completley usless , unless you trade them for honor.

I find AV marks to be very hard to obtain , AV is only on at 20.00-21.00 Server time ( of what I am aware ) . The time for AV greatly differs . It really comes down to your group and winning can go as fast as 10 min. However ive noticed that alot of players have no intrest in the objectives and prefer to farm HK's instead. That is all good but for those who need the marks it gets very frustrating. The AV's latley has taken about 40-50 min, so by the time one gets completed the BG has been changed. This gives me 3 AV marks á day if I win , and 1 mark á day if we lose. Luckily for me I play alliance and we win like 90% of the games, I cant even begin to imagine the frustration of a Horde player farming AV marks for transmorgh.

Implementing a NPC that gives the players the option to change the marks similar to the way that BoJ are exchangable to honor , would really help the players who aren't in need of marks such as EOTS to trade for honor/BoJ. Or/and be able to trade BoJ for BG marks.

GL, people will join wsg or ab only in order to get their marks then.
You just want to make everything easier, why not just make hwl items free ?
You get all the useful items for free, so you have enough time farm single items that you desire to use for transmogrification feature.

Well , if people join WSG in order to get marks instead of HK's wont that help to prevent GY farming? And since the BG still changes every hour , there will still be a variety of the battlegrounds.

Don't get me wrong , I dont mind farming for items, I think it's great having to work for something. It's just that I have all the usefull items that I need. I have no more use for BoJ and I have no use for the EOTS/WSG marks. It's the fact that I have to wait for AV to be the battleground to play , only to find myself being in some cluster of people who is not in it to win , but to farm HK's, thus giving me 3 ( if we win ) and 1 ( if we lose ) every day.
