As I covered in my 'good idea but' post they were letting you just convert points and buy PvP weapons. I saw a shift in the casual guilds to forcing them as 'required'. Bliz answered this by making it a requirement that you do PvP Baiscly you have to earn a number of points in this season before the weapons unlock. These points are ONLY earned by 'direct PvP actions'*.
*= Thank you GM Suzutoyon for that very easy to understand answer.
Since I had alread bent his ear to ask about the Justice Point to Honor Point swap I bent it some more and ask about the Grizzly hills quests I covered in Quick Honor Tip and Quick Honor Tip 2. The answer? "Yes, though they are a much smaller source of Honor, honor earned there does count."
