Why are the honor rates terrible atm in pvp? Did it get nerfed in prepatch or something? Did 5 battlegrounds to get 244 honor.

Oh huge nerfs, yeah. 5 honor per kill last week, 0.25 honor per kill this week. A 25x nerf. Daily gold is down about 80% too. And of course joyous journeys was removed.
Ironically, the best time to prepare for MoP was before prepatch lol. If you’re one of the suckers that came back this week to get a character ready, ouch.
Those five BGs could’ve gotten you 2500 honor easily last week. You could also convert justice points to honor last week, and you get about 550 justice points from a single well of eternity heroic lol. Enjoy prepatch!

lets just pray they fix it on Tuesday because pvping is not worth it right now.

I’m starting to believe that’s the point. They’re all in for actual mop launch and don’t want to waste dev time fixing stuff like BG honor or the queue window for PvP.
Well that’s unfortunate, think I’ll just wait for MoP if that’s the case.

Honor still not fixed or even acknowledged ?

Acknowledged - definitely
Fixed - not happening
Will fix - not happening
They aren’t devoting anytime to something that lasts 15 more days.
I just don’t understand their thought process in making leveling, gearing and gold making so much harder during prepatch. Shouldn’t gearing be EASIER now that there’s no ranked PvP season active? The gear is essentially just going to be used to level in and then discarded for level 89 greens. Why was I getting 10-15x more honor last week, when the gear had consequences, than I am this week now that it is essentially throwaway.
In my opinion, prepatch is when you have a cohort of returning players that want to prepare a character for the anticipated expansion launch, what is the goal behind making that process awful for a group you should be wanting to make a good impression on?
I increasingly get the feeling Classic is run by three interns and a discount AI program.

Oh nice, Do you have the blue post of them talking about it ?
If you’re trying to grind for honor during a pre patch you’re playing the game wrong.
No they arent, people did this with alts in the Wotlk prepatch, in the cata prepatch and now wanted to do it in the MoP prepatch.

You weren’t.
The gear you’re able to purchase with honor was only available for purchase with conquest before this pre-patch. I snagged two pieces on my Mage and it only took a few BG’s to get.
The amount of whining on this forum about having to PvP to get PvP gear is mind boggling. It took me less time to get those two pieces of PvP gear than it would have for me to grind dungeons to buy the 384 ilvl pieces instead.
Yes you were.
We are getting 10 honor for killing a tower or Balinda in AV right now
The last AV I did took 25 mins and gave me 308 honor. I’m looking at an 18 minute WSG that was 175-251 honor per player.
BG’s weren’t awarding 3,000 honor in 20~ minutes before pre-patch. Idk what people hope to accomplish by lying here. You’re not going to trick Blizzard into upping your honor gains for 2 weeks, sorry.
Oh, just went through my SS folder while typing this out. I had a 28 minute WSG victory giving me 810 honor before prepatch. Yeah, people are bizarre.
TY for proving our point with your screenshot.
800 vs 200 is an insane difference.

800 in a 28 minute WSG where I farmed the enemy team on my geared DK. The gear is half the cost that it was and is also better than the honor gear before prepatch.
Grind your BG’s and stop crying and begging for freebies. Imagine the entitlement you must have where an epic an hour is too slow for you.
Good job just proving others point. Haha

You could do arenas for conquest before this pre-patch. You got 75 CP per loss. 250 per win. Matches were, including queue times and the timer before the gate, 3-4 minutes.
It was WAY faster to earn the CP than it is to earn the honor for the same gear.
810 / 28 = 28.9 h/m
308 / 25 = 12.32 h/m
((175 + 251) / 2) / 18 = 11.1 h/m
((11.1 + 12.32) / 2) / 28.9 = 40%
So honor gains were decreased more than costs were decreased, and the rate at which the items were gained was drastically reduced because they removed arenas. That’s assuming you’re winning and not just losing. You get 30 honor at the end of a game for a loss. You presumably didn’t get hundreds of HKs. If you got about 0.25 honor per kill, and generously you received 40 HKs, you got 10 honor.
The math just doesn’t check out in your favor, man.

I’d kill for 800 honour in 28mins 
Took me 5 hours to grind 1700 honour for weapon.
1600 hph vs 340 hph
Now unless they have reduced the prices by 4x it definitely takes longer than pre pre patch. Kind of odd as they have done the exact opposite for every other expansion release. Wonder if it was intended.
FYI.
Currently only getting 10 honor per TOWER in AV.
Unreal.
