My Disappointment with Honour Calculations

Two updates in as many days! I must be going BLOG CRAZY! Well, no, but I do have 30 minutes before I start work every morning that I can use to update, so I will do so, when I have something to update about.

Today, I complain about Blizz's honour calculations. In my last post I was all excited that I had made almost 2000 honour in one sitting. When I logged in last night, I checked my updated honour screen to see what my total was. It wasn't high. In the 'Yesterday' field, it showed "493" or there abouts. 493. Not almost 2000. I am officially NEVER going back to Eye of the Storm unless I absolutely HAVE TO.

But, I was not dismayed by this. I knew EotS was not for farming honour. AV (and AB I found out) was where it was at. I decided to go with AB, as they generally run quicker than AV and my realm seemed to favour AB. I only did 3 BGs that night, all AB, all took about 10-20 minutes each. Alliance won each time (Woot!). Some got close, but we always won. There was good honour to be had killed Horde, and I got 250 Bonus Honour each game because we had won.

After only those 3 ABs, my Honour Screen looked a lot better "~1183" or there abouts. 'Cool', I thought, this is easy! But then my heart sank, what if it's the same as yesterday and I only get a quater of that? Then I steeled myself. Not to worry! The game itself showed that I got 250 Bonus Honour each AB, surely they wouldn't dock me of that! So if my hopes are true, then when I log in tonight for some more PVP action, it should show in the Yesterday Field at LEAST 750 Honour. Not bad for up to 30 minutes of work.

If I am at all deluded by my ambitions into PVP and need to be set straight, please let me know!

P.S. Still no comments! Come on people! I spammed this link onto the Guild Forum, so no excuses!

P.P.S. I know the rest of the site is still bland. My internet access is very limited at work, so I will update it when I can.

Yeh i prefer AV for that very reason as well.
At least you only lose about 10-20% instead of 75% off the estimated honor
