Wow classic: Honor lost after realm transfer

[Naixi-bleeding-hollow]

I just transferred my char from Faerlina to Earthfury and my honor pane are zeroed except for the lifetime kills.
I Spent lots of time killing horde this week before the transfer, please tell me the honor will come back on the pane later on…

Disregard everything I just said.

It’s intentional. You’ll want to post in the Classic General Discussion forum if you want the developers to see such feedback and maybe change the policy sometime in the future.

Blizzard goes into more detail on why the system is setup the way it is in this post:

Character Transfers will not transfer your kills from your source realm, because its not fair to the players on your destination realm for you to bring in kills from a different environment into that week’s standings. The kills are still recorded, they just don’t count on your destination server. This was true historically as well, and is not a bug.

The character transfer will bring over your current rank, and progress toward the next rank (the results of each weekly calculation), just not the kills that you’ve achieved so far during that week. The best time to start a transfer, if you’re concerned about PvP ranks is immediately after you get your new rank.

I wish they had been more clear about this before the transfer. In fact I’m absolutely certain they said honor points earned before the last weeks calculations would be kept. I just can’t find the post where I read that.

Honor calculations

That does help, but unfortunately, Character Transfers will not transfer your kills from your source realm, because its not fair to the players on your destination realm for you to bring in kills from a different environment into that week’s standings.

This it?

Even if your destination server is in the same battlegroup?
How is it a different environment in that case?
Grinded to AV exalted last week and server transferred on Sunday. Lost out on a bunch of honor.

No one here would be able to answer that, if you want to discuss why you feel it should work differently you would want to post in the thread that was linked above or create your own in the PvP forums.

PvP forums

I think the Classic General Discussion forum would be better. To my knowledge, transfers in retail don’t have quite the same effect.

[Belguilos-lothar (Belguilos)]

It’s simply because you’re compared against your server mates for your rank, not your Battlegroup. I think.
