Ya but you see I just farmed 75k honor after buying most of the pvp set including the Claymore. I also know others who just got done farming 75k from nothing so that would be really dumb to reset the peoples honor who just grinded it from nothing.

Come on man, get off your high horse. I doubt anyone knew it was a bug considering it occurred at the beginning of pre-patch. No damage was done. People like you just feel slighted because you grinded honor âthe hard wayâ. Classic is over. Bugs will happen. Thatâs why they have pre-patch to fix issues like the honor bug.
âwahh other people put in more effort than I did, take away their rewards because Iâm too lazy!â
okay OP
Advocating for objective fairness = high horse. Got it.
- Ignorance is not a defense nor is it for about anything
- The damage done was the absurd amount of unintended bonus honor gained
- You have no idea if I pvpâd or not during this time
- The purpose of pre-patch =/= open Beta
Bugs will always happen so long as humans are involved. Itâs how you address them that matters. They fixed the root cause, but didnât correct the impact of the bug itself.
Itâs not objective fairness to penalize people who didnât know they were breaking the rules.
Regardless of how you feel nothing will change. Again, no damage was done. If you feel that Iâm incorrect there then please explain how were you, or anyone else, harmed by the effect of others getting extra honor? Your personal feelings donât matter. If the actions of others didnât harm you then you donât have an argument.
You seem absurdly offended and angered that people were able to gain large amounts of honor. Itâs not exploitation of a bug if everyone is able to use said bug, especially to use that bug unknowingly.
Even with alpha and beta phase, bugs are still found with releases of games. Especially considering TBC was released early to combat other MMOs.
Couldnât agree more. You shouldnât be able to buy the new expansion gear using currency farmed in the last expansion. That makes zero sense.
Except that the same system is used to buy the same type of gear in the expansion. Thatâs like saying you canât save up arena points to buy a piece of gear over a few weeks.
This isnât classic anymore. The option to keep things the same existed by keeping a character on a classic server. The game has TBC talents, etc already in-game. Whatâs earned now should be available to spend on whatever you want in this iteration of the game.
Again people had two weeks to farm honor with the fact we still have most of this week to farm honor. If you canât get your 75k honor then you arenât really trying to farm it.
I donât think they should wipe it, but they should definitely take the honor earned between launch and nerf and prorate it by a factor of 10. Itâs not right that a large portion of the player base will be able to enter S1 arenas with full sets of PvP gear before others can even farm a couple pieces.
Correcting honor gains to be what they should have been all along is not a penalty. You did not earn the extra honor afforded to you by the bug, it was not intended to happen, hence the bug fix.
If the IRS accidentally doubled your tax return, would you consider it a penalty if they took back the excess after realizing the mistake? What an entitled mindset to have.
heres another sucky baby thread! catering to sucky babies is what killed the game the first time around!
Not sure if you intend to make your statements sounds accusatory but just for clarification, i did not benefit from this bug at all. My main character is still rocking quest greens and i have about 6k honor total that Iâve earned all of classic lol. And no, i didnât boost.
To your other point about rectifying some kind of added benefit from a bug that was corrected quicklyâŚâŚ its just a game, my man. This isnât the IRS giving you real money. People chose to play the game at that time and benefited from a bug. Who really cares?! Its not some huge impactful change to the game. The only people who seem really upset are the people who played classic since the launch or people who didnât benefit from the bug. It wonât matter at all in a week so why make such a big deal of it? And againâŚâŚ the people who are mad are in no way harmed. If you feel that you were, then please explain how you were damaged. How you FEEL doesnât count.
To your last point, not caring about others benefiting when youâre not directly affected is not entitlement. However, people being upset that a change was made to fix a bug, i could see the entitlement argument there.

Not trying to make anything personal, but I canât disagree enough with the premise of âno one was damagedâ by this. If that were true, intrinsically itâd mean no one benefited from it either.
Acquiring huge erroneous honor gains during a small window of time until Blizzard corrected the bug will result in those same people purchasing pvp gear faster than those who did not unless they put in orders of magnitude more time to get to the same place.
OP is asking for âearnedâ honor to stay only or wipe it entirely upon official TBC release.
Entitlement - the fact of having a right to something. In this case, you do not have the right to erroneous bonus honor. Should Blizzard actually want to spend developer hours to recalculate it (unlikely), it should not be taken as a personal slight, but rather a numbers correction. You still received what you truly earned, nothing more nothing less.
NAH no thanks bad post 0/10
nah, no thanks, not necessary
Think about it. Itâs a lose-lose for Blizzard st this point. If they do nothing, people will be upset. If they wipe honor, people will be upset. If they revert honor from the big, people will be upset.
What does a company do in a situation like this? Nothing. Tie means do nothing.
Again though, you said it yourself. It DIDNâT harm anyone outside of people with hurt feelings. That alone is not worth the effort, nor does it justify the effort to âfixâ anything. It would only shift the bad feelings to the people who earned the honor they felt they justly ( bug or not) deserved. What would be the point in that? Feeling vindicated is the only goal of the crowd calling foul? No harm, no foul. Play on
blzz to busy making lame videos about how they love there players âode to returning heroesâ to actually fix the pvp system they f-ed up over a week ago now, they dont care about pvp and it shows, they could care less some people capped honor in 2 hours after pre patch and will grind 70 in less than 24 hours and buy 2-3 70 pvp gear pieces and jump into arenas with a clear advantage over other due to poor role out of patch by blizz we are paying beta testers this kind of problem should have been caught well befor release of prepatch it lazy and a slap in the face
ill explain since you dont get it, the purpose of wiping honor is so people who capped honor (75k) honor in a few hour due to poorly rolled out pre patch cant just grind to 70 on first day and jump right into arena after buying 2-3 pieces of resilience pvp gear, (resilience) being the new pvp stat just assuming you know nothing will clearly give these players a huge advantage in pvp and compromise the fairness of the entire pvp season
Im already honor capped with 100 marks of each. Im ready for my lvl 70 blue gear Blizz
