The Ridiculous State of BG/Honor Farming (Math)

also, do none of you turn in extra marks? yall leaving a ton of honor on the table :rofl:

Ahh yes, because the hundreds of videos uploaded in 2007 and 2008 are what Blizzard is “feeding” me.

I don’t need it to. I never even played TBC more than a month at a time. I maybe played 2 months total. I had 3 that I got to 70 and the warrior was my pvp toon. He was full resilience geared. If that took me more than the estimates here… let’s even go lenient and say 10+ days played, you’re out of your mind.

I didn’t have that kind of time then and I don’t now.

You can say I make it up , really don’t care but you’re full of it if you think you or any of the others saying it was accurate we’re actually around for OG tbc.

you played 2 months and got 3 toons to 70 and had one fully pvp geared. yep, you’re mistaken or lying lol. were you gladiator too?

3 from 60-70 you cartoon.

get mad all you want, your memory is shot :rofl: ill take actual evidence over your misguided memories any day.

Where’s this video where they show rates, buy items to show prices, and show their time played before and after?

there was a link to a blue post from the time of original TBC that gave the exact rates (the ones we have now) in another thread or on reddit. im not gonna dig it up for your entitled pleasure, you can go find it. if you dont care to, i dont care if you do or dont but i know youre hopelessly wrong :wink:

You’re… not going to dig it up. Ok then do you say, I say. Why you wasting my time then?

Do you think you’re clever trying to turn each phrase around? Did I say the time I Pvp’d was casual?

All I get from you is a bunch of made up stuff about how I’m making stuff up. Then you try to insult be calling me entitled for asking to see the evidence you’re bringing up… hrrkay…

You can go on talking to yourself now if you like, until now I thought maybe you had this actual proof showing someone playing more than 10 days played for a pvp set.

just for kicks i found it again, have fun :slight_smile:

Coacholsson, so are you saying we are playing with a system that has diminishing returns right now?

that’s it?

then what you’ll do?

Mess with gold farmers

Delimicus,
Sorry, but I’m kind of lost in all the information/threads posted on the matter. Are diminishing returns live right now in BGs?

There are no diminishing returns on honorable kills in Classic TBC.

Do you have a link for that? Possibly one you’ve already posted, I realize (sorry). You seem like you’ve got many of the links, etc.

Read his guild name

No, but you can verify this very easily by seeing how much honor you have and then killing an enemy player twice.

Oh, and I was just looking at an addon called Honor Kills Counter and the changelog for TBC says this:

  • Honor estimation removed as honor is now instantly granted with no diminishing returns

That test is actually kind of hard to confirm lol. I don’t have any alliance friends on my server to team up for that test. I guess I’ll need to watch really closely in a bg/be able to calculate how it’s distributed across, then study how the dimishing returns worked exactly…The changelog on an addon isn’t really trustworthy imo :confused:
Because Classic TBC is running off of an altered 2.4.3 client, which is obviously post the 2.3 Diminishing Returns addition patch in some of those pics you posted. That would essentially explain everything…Meaning in launch original TBC they weren’t active in the first phases until 2.3. And I do remember turtling every match to gain more honor, but it just doesn’t seem to be effective now.
Any more leads on that would be greatly appreciated! Especially something via blizzard

Addition patch? No no no, patch 2.4 removed diminishing returns on honorable kills:

Diminishing returns on honorable kills were active throughout TBC until patch 2.4 removed them.
