We Are Winning Too Many Honor Points Per BG
Kurathis • Published May 20, 2021
After the launch of TBC Classic’s Pre-Patch, players were able to be awarded what has now been deemed to be too many honor points at the end of a battleground. Many matches saw players getting 2,500-4,000 for Alterac Valley. (423 for killing the first boss of each faction’s side) Arathi Basin also saw players receiving upwards of 200 per tick.
These totals have be divided by 10, effectively reducing the amount of honor gained to roughly 250-400 per match.

We’ve found the bug with this, and we’re deploying a hotfix soon that will have the effect of reducing Bonus Honor by a factor of 10, back to the amount it’s supposed to be.
We also double-checked other rewards, and we found that the number of Marks being rewarded have been correct.
Thanks for the reports!
yeah i dont know who had a problem with this, but reducing it with a factor of 10 is a typical blizzard 0iq thing to do. how a bout toning it down a notch instead of skullfucking it to the ground
From what I’ve understood, it was one player creating a forum on Worldofwarcraft.com that cited sources from after the initial pre-patch that made Blizzard change it.
I think, as a player base, we all knew that what we WERE getting WAS too much. I feel as though we all had a mutual, unmentioned understanding that we were not going to mention it so everyone could benefit from it while it lasted.
