you could have lowered the honor cost by half and it still would have been an insane chore. This is a drop in the bucket, and once again an obvious problem that needed addressing and was ignored for what 7 months because “we couldn’t sit idly by” or whatever you tell yourselves.
You mistook my comment for complaining. Only thing I’m complaining about is the complete lack of communication; patch notes would have solved 100% of the issue. I am all for the changes. The comment was only pointing people to where Kaivax had stated honor increases.
Either way, if you’re the original Andy, you’re the only issue <3
I’m not the issue. 10x wasn’t a good rate (and not the intended one too).
your first kill on vashj was post nerf
One of the worst changes compared to the original game and that’s said a lot.
There were a few changes I heavily disagreed on!
This change is a punch in the face of pvpers.
You’ve already ruined pve, leave pvp alone.
Not like it’s already ruined with some balance changes (mage/warlock armor not dispellable etc.).
I could create a big list of changes I’ve never wanted to see and this is just another silly idea to “increase” the activity.
It results in the exact OPPOSITE!
I wanna say I’m disappointed, but I’m not anymore at this point

Who cares. More gear means more activity on the ladder. I also grinded out all the honor, saved all my arena points, and I don’t mind one bit. PvP needs to be more accessible. This also helps keep TK and SSC relevant, which is great.
Don’t be so selfish. Just because you suffered doesn’t mean everyone else has to.

Why do Pvpers not get the same treatment as pve people? Why is it I can’t pvp and acquire good pve gear while others can pve and acquire good pvp gear? Makes absolutely no sense how its one way and not the other.
Good changes
That’s right. thanks for looking me up. But what’s your point ?
Hello?
Have you not met any raiders who were happy to be buying S2 weapons for raid upgrades because of bad luck on drops or not yet their turn in priority?
Or the tanks needing pvp items for bis?
Not to mention vindicators is such a high item level it’s good for pve too…better than dropping 1k on a belt.
I’ve made a post requesting refunds for 50% of the marks people spent on Vindicator items in the past week, check my profile to find it.
These are good changes overall that will make the pvp scene healthier, but the timing of the cost reduction is absolutely awful, all they had to do was announce this before adding S3 gear to the vendors. Days of non-stop BGs wasted for many people, myself included.
I have to concur. Most people aren’t stacked with PvP gear. I have full S1 with S2 off pieces, mostly from BGs and a 3 of the pieces from capping points at like 1200 rating. Rarely is there another hunter with as much HP as I have in a BG.

I had 69 resil on my priest for months, some are just cheap +stam +resil JC items. On season transition, I used arena point to buy discount s2, used all honour to buy discounted ring/neck. I’m now at 249, it’s so much better now, that I no longer die in a switch.
With this change, I will use my Shoulder and head tokens to exchange to S1, S2 gear, and can save arena points for a weapon.
Thanks for this update. All PVPers now have easier access to a more functional gear set. Those that are good are already ahead with full S2.
How in the world is anyone doing Halaa dailies?
now merge OCE & US and give us Dual Spec!
Increasing gains from HKs would only encourage GY farms and turtles.
Lol! Never happening.
This is a great change, and definitely will encourage more people to participate.
Players on High pop servers like Benediction who are Alliance dominated will virtually never get to take advantage of the daily PvP bonus because there aren’t enough players of the opposing faction. That’s a few thousand honor per day that we don’t get access to. Could the bonus honor from those quests be shifted to something more accessible for all servers regardless of populations?
Horrible horrible changes … As usual catering the retail fan boys and casuals and forgetting about the hardcore players who are the actual people caring for the game and are the real assets, who created the classic dream by chanting it over the years and finally brought it to life by signing the damn petition and pushing Blizzard to make it happen…
Ridiculously unfair, and profoundly ignorant as always …

It will absolutely happen in WOTLK… I promise you … when it’s the turn for the alliance to have the better racials… all of a sudden balancing the racials will become a priority for the same stupid designers who put in this stupid change today.
