PvP Honor Badges

Wasn't sure if this had been discussed so I apologize if it has. I recently got promoted to VA1 the other night. I've only just discovered that while I can still do my old Btran dailies for badges to purchase gear in Gamma, I can no longer do PvP dailies for honor badges to purchase gear at K7. Is this an oversight or just the way it is? Did I miss my chance to get the shield and deflector I really want? :(

    You can't get accolades from rear admiral pvp dailies anymore either :(

    No kidding?! So is this all by design?

    Wonderful. I wasn't getting proper Marks for my dailies yesterday and I'm only BG6.
    I hope this is a bug, as I only just started doing dailies and would like some more MK10 equipment for my troubles.

    edit: down 15 marks now as the dailies are not giving me my marks when I finish the missions. It says it does, but does not when I check my total.

    I was really hoping for a way to continue building up my honor marks as well. That gear is still pretty sweet and I'm still toying around with different weapon/equipment types.

    So the question remains; Is this an oversight or deliberate? If it is deliberate what is the point?

    I think it is by design. When you were RA could you do Capt level PvP. While I think it sucks it is consistent with the mechanics of the game hence why you get VA designations of the same missions when you reach VA. B-Tran is a bad example since it is more or less episodic/PvE.

    That's a good point and something I had not considered. That said K7 offers arguably some of the best gear available that is viable at VA level. Doing Capt level PvP as an RA for tier 4 badges is pointless because nothing I can purchase with those badges is something I can or will use at tier 5. And I'm not suggesting having PvP matches that pairs VAs with RAs. Just enable a PvP daily that allows us to earn and save honor badges to purchase the mkx purple gear. But as it stands to purchase a shield or deflector one would have to be dedicated to leveling quite slowly from RA to VA. That means the majority of people will be unable to purchase anything big from K7. If it remains this way then Cryptic really should institute a badges trading system that allows you to trade a set number of lower echelon badges for higher echelon badges as others have been suggesting.
