Right, you just want to be able to go, “Oh they have no honor level they’re incompetent.”
Furthermore, the systems that have ruined arena, such as boosting piloting etc, would spill over the same. New accounts created by boosters would have low honor level, but most people boosting people are more competent than the masses queueing random BGs.
Why is this the assumption? I could do that with the system we have now.
How would you boost honor level?
Because all your ‘reasons’ for wanting to know more about someone’s honor level and acquisition are open ended, but imply in your further reasoning that you want to be able to judge them based upon whatever that honor level data would imply.
Wanting to know if they’re new, and thus bad.
Wanting to be able to hold their honor level against them.
See you’re making that assumption. Judging someone sounds pejorative, but there’s a good element to it.
If you and I are holding Gold Mine, but Stables is in trouble, I might leave a 200 Honor level person at a flag, but not a Honor Level 7. It’s not a guarantee, but it is an indication that they’re likely to know more.
That sounds extremely pointless. In your scenario you can already make that judgement based on the player in question’s gear and class/spec, which would both be much more useful factors than honor level. Honor level is a participation award - you can get to a high level and still have very little awareness of what’s going on.

That’s a solid point. No one’s mentioned that before.
Still, it can’t be pointless if you say there’s an application now, and I’m asking for a deeper dive into the in-game data.
Honor level is meaningless.

Everything is meaningless. Why stop now?
my honor level opens doors its true. if i go to a restaurant and they dont have a table im like:
“dude im hungry im good at pvp let me sit”

If you are job hunting DM me. Im well connected in a few industries in the Northeastern US.
I’ve got a bunch of level 60s on both horde and alliance, maybe 9 that I play consistently in PvP. My account honor-level looks like I know what I’m doing. Rank 300+ with the Bloodthirsty title for 250K kills. But in reality? I’m only useful on a couple of characters and the rest I just try not to mess it up for everyone. It’s just a cosmetic thing.

Nice to see you haven’t changed your mind three years later.
I change my mind every week! One day I like something, the next day, I’m like, whatever about it. I wish I were more like you.
You sound like a very stable guy, and I respect that.
I wish you the very best of luck with your future projects.

Same. Takes me 3 years to come back to the start.
Sooo…all I’ve got from this thread is that there’s a race to 1000 honor level? First to hit exactly 1000 and not a single honor level over wins?
Aaaaand go

Always good to hear from you, Bob
Edit: In all honestly, we should play a few games together.
Sounds like you’re just trying to distract me so you can beat me to 1000
You can come join though

Honor is even more meaningless because of 50% honor increase buffs and guild standards 15% increase buffs and comp stomp and bg/skirmish week boosting honor even more and then alliance just having extra honor for existing
You can legit have someone who has done meaningless amount of pvp but they’re honor level 500 because they do 1 bg win a day on 25 alts during bonus honor week or comp stomp and their honor level is higher than someone who does 25 bgs that day on the same toon (only getting daily bonus once and losses giving little honor)
Honor level is not indicative of anything
But wouldn’t you say being Alliance in PVP is a harder task than being Horde?
I would not as i’ve never had to pug, which also doesn’t apply to unrated pvp
