How we REALLY got our TBC honor (with sources)

There’s a range that you have to be within, I don’t know how close it is. You can see in some of my open world screenshots the player is getting the full honor even though there’s partied allies on the minimap. That’s because in one of them it’s a Mage slowfall killing a player up in the air, so his party members are out of range of the honor.

Here’s a vidcap from WSG. You can see the player getting 10 honor but if you look above the red box, you can see an ally player’s name. The 20.9 honor was split into two in this case:

And blizzard has yet to acknowledge something game breaking to pvp’rs. Why am I not surprised.

Yo blizzard I want my honor gear by season 2

Soooooo… now what?

Blizzard really should at least acknowledge this thread with a “We will look into this”.

Would make a lot of people happier.

How is this not fixed yet blizzard? Honor was never this low

Blizz won’t look into this. They don’t care about the player base anymore.
They chose to give a small portion of the players a massive advantage and they are sticking with it.
Subscriber numbers are the only thing Blizz/Acti cares about. If you want a change to happen, affect their bottom line.

Correct

Incorrect.

They don’t care about subscribers since they went to the fishing for Whale’s strat with microtransactions. This is why Subs don’t matter anymore. They rather have 1 fat happy Whale spending 1,000’s in the web shop then more subs. It’s easier to make a Whale happy then 1,000 players. Less work for Blizz.

Subs are down 30% over all Activision games but they don’t care as long as they can make up for it in the Web Shop. The needs of the FEW outweigh the needs of the many.

" If you want a change to happen, affect their bottom line."

My reasoning may have been off but my point is still valid.

It is important to note the following: one kill= 20.9 honor at level 70.

TL;DR: Honor kills for the entirety of TBC were worth 20.9 honor divided evenly among nearby party members or players who participated in the kill. Diminishing returns on honor kills were removed in 2.4. Battleground honor from objectives is rewarded in honorable kill value (20.9) multiples.

E.g: Flag caps in WSG award 2 kills of honor. Every 330 resources in EOTS awards 1 kill of honor.

Vidcaps of SOLO honor kills of all different ranks:

The only time you ever see a kill being worth more than 20.9 honor in TBC is when a lower level kills a higher level. Here’s a level 65 killing a level 70 and getting 25 honor:

I do vote with my wallet and am unsubbed most of the year due to the lack of customer service but this doesn’t work anymore. They only care about keeping their Whales happy. They don’t care about Subs just big fat Whales spending 1,000s on the Webshop. The needs of the FEW outweigh the needs of the many is Blizz new philosophy. It’s a bad business model and it’s been blowing up in Activisions face lately. It won’t end well for them.

This doesn’t seems to be getting quite the quick attention as the “No fun allowed” guy who made a point about honor being too much.

yea, just did a 25 minute EOTS and got 68 honor. Add in the 25 minute queue and thats 6 hours a day for 6 weeks to get just 1 2h weapon item for bg honor.

Pretty obvious blizz is sabotaging so players go to retail, or keep sub for months longer then they would have if honor was as it should be.

Idk if it’s actually higher or lower than it was back then, but I know it’s nowhere near feasible for anyone without 8+ hours a day to gear with honor, and even for them they would be better off doing pve for gear

which is half the reason I came from retail tbh. I just wanna be able to gear good enough for bgs, through doing bgs like I did in wrath through wod

this makes a lot of sense

wtb more honor from bgs now. Thanks!
