Base Honor Gains doubled

Losing a match in WSG or AB now awards 2 Marks of Honor

Level 60 PvP Quests for AB and WSG that require handing in 3 Marks of Honor, now award 7500 Honor per turn in

Player versus Player

Base honor gains will be doubled starting with the launch of Phase 5 of Season of Discovery.
We've made several adjustments to the reward structure of Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch to incentivize players to engage with these battlegrounds:
Losing a match of Warsong Gulch or Arathi Basin now awards 2 Marks of Honor up from 1 mark in Season of Discovery.
The Level 60 versions of the quests Fight for Warsong Gulch, Battle of Warsong Gulch, Conquering Arathi Basin, and Claiming Arathi Basin now award 7500 honor per turn-in.
The separation between small group and premade groups has been removed.
Developer's Note: With the increase in honor rewards as well as the increase in rewards for losing a match of Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin, we are removing the queue separation implemented in earlier phases of Season of Discovery that separates premade groups (groups with more than 5 members) and small groups (groups with 1-5 members). This means that there is a single queue and players can be matched with each other with no restrictions regardless of being solo, in a small group, or in a full premade. We think this is important for the health of these two battlegrounds but we may make further adjustments to this system in future updates.

PvP Damage Reduction: Players now take 30% reduced Physical damage from other players and pets (was 20%) and 40% reduced Magic damage from other players and pets (was 30%)

1 token = 2500 honor.

AB win = 1380 honor.

1 win = 1380 honor + 3 tokens (7500 honor) = 9k

1 lose = 0-1100 honor + 2 tokens (5000 honor) = 5kish

Regular AB back and forth battle WIN = 30 minute wins = 9000 honor = 18k honor per hour.

Regular AB back and forth battle LOSE = 30 minute lose = 6000 honor = 12k honor per hour.

"just lose guys, let them win" = 5-6 minute losses = 5000 honor x 6 = 30,000 honor per hour

Premade stomp = 5-6 minute wins = 9000 honor x 6 = 54,000 honor per hour.

The reason I only put 6 games despite the match length is because theres a 2 minute startup + queue time as allowance, Im sure you can probably get more than 6 wins per hour as a premade stomp in primetime.

Comment by ExiusThey need to remove the ranking and make it where you get honor and rank up instant instead of having to wait until reset and not being able to go to the cap in a week if you no life it.

Make it the same AMOUNT of honor you would need but just make it a grind you can do whenever your free instead of arbitrary capsComment by ExtremelyCrustyThey need to remove the ranking and make it where you get honor and rank up instant instead of having to wait until reset and not being able to go to the cap in a week if you no life it.

Everybody can get 14 now.

People seem to have forgotten the original honor system where it was community based, and the amount of spots to be able to get to ranks like 13 and 14 depended on how many ppl had at least 15 kills. Highest bracket spot went as far as 1.6 million honor, and it took 3 months from 0 to 14, and u had to grind every week because of the decay.

Now it's 6 weeks with no decay, and now they made it so it's 2-3 times faster to get to 500k cap and people are still complaining. Unbelievable.Comment by Pingo1968Congrats Blizz, you guys did it again. First of all, thx for the easy honor on ally side with less than 1 minute queue for an AB. As casual signup. But on horde side? Just forget casual sign up, find a group. Or else you will need to wait 20 minutes +, and that clock is still counting. EU side, that isComment by BrawgI got banned for this horrible implementation. Great idea Blizzard! Force players to lose for most efficient honor, "warn" players to stop doing it with a Twitter post on some guy's personal Twitter account, and then banwave half of the people who did AB, and leave the other half alone. Blizzard really is doing great to keep player trust.Comment by JeminaI got banned for this horrible implementation. Great idea Blizzard!
