Revert the change immediately and wipe honor on 6/1 release. That way you can’t bank honor for lvl 70 gear. This accounts for the short prepatch but doesn’t affect things later.

Eww. The banking is the important part. Outside of the GM/HWL weapons, the rest of the gear is pretty easily replaced with HFP quest rewards or 60-64 dungeon drops. I mean, if it was going to be dead easy to farm, then sure farm up the 6/6 epic honor set and weapons just to give yourself an easier first week in Outlands. But if it’s going to be like pulling teeth, save it for 70. I’m sitting on 60k honor and ~100 marks for 70 on one character right now.
First I have zero honor so I don’t matter overall
But you solution is to just screw the next person? People have farmed to save for post tbc and you say well they will be ok just having the work deleted? Oh and yeah that will just cause another fight
Solution not found!
That would be stupid, if anything just reduce the cost of all the level 60 pvp gear by 90% to match the reduction in honor gain.

So those that pvp’d yesterday should have an advantage at 70? This was pretty huge… So don’t wipe it on 6/1, wipe 90% of it.
It wasn’t a change – it was a fix. This is how Vanilla prepatch was. Not much else to say. This is Classic, not Classic +.
You should not get an advantage at 70 because of a bug.

My point is you can’t just delete peoples stuff! Like seriously I get you don’t care about people who stockpiled honor but that doesn’t mean it’s ok to get your way by crapping on the next guy
Just fix the amount of honor per HK we are currently getting something like 10x less honor from kills
That’s actually a fair solution.

Or they could just correct all honor that was awarded and remove gear that was purchased they have all the data of the people that got the extra honor, to people like me who never got the bonus honor due to work wiping 90% of my honor is unfair
Their gains were ill-gotten regardless if it was a bug or not. No one cares about r14 gear… let them keep it if they got it.
That would be fine too but a lot more work for them and we know how they feel about that
Sure it was wrong they got it but they did get it. So maybe some people have an advantage cause they went straight into pvp and got it but that is what it is. It’s unfortunate for you they got it and you didn’t. But your now saying “oh if they bought gear take that away too” god damn INSANE!!! Imagine someone that is a casual (not a hardcore player but a true casual) got 1 item yesterday and logged out to work. And now he comes home today and his item is gone because a bug existed he knew nothing about. He was just having fun playing pvp. You are ok just ruining his game experience and taking away his cookie because you didn’t get it also? Man I hope someone takes your kids cookie from him.
Sorry I replied wrong person on that one!
Someone that spent the day pvp’ing could have easily, EASILY, banked enough honor for 2-3 pieces of lvl 70 gear. That’s not ok.
Why does that even matter? its not like there’s a big race to get PVP gear
I’m not arguing that at all but it has now happened. It exists. So yes maybe 90% of the players abused that fine. But let’s just say 10% was casual players who got an item or got 40k honor or whatever the hell they got. You want to just take it away from them? Take away what they bought? I get your unhappy but to have a solution that makes you happy doesn’t mean it’s ok to crap on others
Here’s another solution (intentionally absurd) let’s roll servers back to the moment prepatch was launched and now no one got any honor and everything is perfect set to exactly how it was. Now no advantage exists. Just because a solution has your results doesn’t make it ok for what damaging results lie to the other side.
no it wasnt a fix because honor was granted at 16 per kill on average and got 600 roughly a game.
I think this is the most reasonable approach, but I also think this largely because its clear from them shafting people on marks before prepatch they are not interested in people hitting 70 with any currency to burn. That is more content they would have to produce which is a non value, or longer they have to stretch the stuff they have. No part of this decision holds up to the slightest of scrutiny, and that the entire thing was set in motion by a forum troll who regularly prompts changes from one particular forum blue is a spectacular finish to the dumpster fire that was the classic servers.
