The Ridiculous State of BG/Honor Farming (Math)

Yeah this is not accurate to original TBC, but something about my rose colored glasses and failing memory

I guess pve gear has turned into welfare epics since you have to devote way more time to get some junky blues lmao

Just received 5 honor for a kill in a fresh AB, so thanks for proving the point.

No.

Authenticity for the sake of authenticity is lazy, poor game management and Blizzard should never, ever have adopted a “No-changes” or “Authenticity first” philosophy.

You do realize that honor is split among nearby raid members, right? Like it always has? Try reading that blue post I linked.

3-6 hour qs was not intended and you are a fool if you think so.

Would make sense if there were nearby raid members

That’s why honor should be in a pool and split at the end of the game. Playing defense should be rewarded too.

It always used to suck as a flag carrier in WSG where I’d do most of the work (getting the flag often solo, carrying it back, and then running circles around our base) and then I’d have to farm an extra 3 hours to get the same honor that the rest of my team did due to not getting the HKs. It was fun for a while but I so retired from that, I don’t even want to do WSG anymore on my druid lol.

Honor isn’t accurate. Bonus honor might be but honor per kill definitely is not. Farming people at GY was the main way we farmed honor & marks were always the grind not the honor. Someone had a long forum about this that proved what I’m saying in detail with screenshots etc I cba to search for it atm. I’ll try to link later.

Here it is How we REALLY got our TBC honor (with sources)

I think the only thing they were “testing” was the Alliance reaction.

I put my time in when I died hundreds of times leveling due to ganking because I was significantly outnumbered by the horde. Put in yours.

I didn’t cry about it on the forums. It was the consequence of my choice.

Earn the gear, take your choice and deal with it. Take your 45 minutes to queue just like it took me 45 minutes to complete a quest that should’ve taken me 5 minutes.

Realize your choice to be horde had consequences for other people just like it has consequences for yourself.

Honor is accurate, including honor from kills. That thread is misinformation.

Old post from original TBC pre-patch of someone complaining about honor and not marks. There’s a reason you can turn in marks for honor but not honor for marks:

Yeah this is so annoying. I hate blizzard. Stretching this testing out. I could be pvping and having fun, and not enjoying a whole different game. But enjoying this game the way its supposed to be. And blizzard doing this long testing instead of just putting it in pisses me off. Put the same faction bgs in. The longer they wait the worst. The waiting is not for anything good. They can make adjustments as they go

Premades should be broken. Folks complain enough about queue times as it is. We don’t need an extra queue in top of what we already have.

Seems like you sprinters are not so good at running marathons.

I get that playing with your friends is fun. like a 3-5 man I get it but when you make a full premade with healers you know what you are doing. Whats wrong with playing and putting your skills against another premade?

Not trying to be crass… Isn’t rhat what RBGs are for in Retail?

It is but that rating gets you way better gear than what this is intended. The blue pvp gear isnt fully Bis. Retail Rated BGs gets you Bis gear

At least it’s not retail where your honor gear item level is time gated until august 10th

I truly feel bad for retail players must be hard playing a game where the developers are totally incompetent
