View Full Version : Battleground marks, burn em up for honor?

So I notice I'm sitting on basically 80-100 of each BG mark, WSG and SotA being my lowest counts. At 930 honor per turn-in, that would be 93,000 honor which would get me my remaining Hateful misc gear (boots/belt). But... I'm afraid that Blizzard is going to add some additional use for them and I really don't want to go back and farm up 100 of each again.

Thoughts? It's definitely a nice chunk of honor but I'd have made that much within a week or so anyhow just normally doing BGs.

Im gonna take a few tries at WSG tonight and see how well i can do there since SotA is okey but not THAT fun.

SotA seems to be SO random.. sometimes we own them and sometimes we get totaly owned.

I still dont get WHY the horde ALWAYS has to defend first, it makes the honor grind slower for us since a fast attak makes the other side give up.

Another problem is botting/gliding on the horde side.. Theese days the bots are SO well programmed that you cant see the difference on a bad player and them.

Definitely run SOTA with more players from your server, as Alliance it's insanely fast honor, and it makes it so much more enjoyable since your teammates can run the vehicles and you protect them.

As far as the marks go, maybe turn in 20 of each.
That leaves you at 80, so if they're of value down the road you don't need to farm a massive number.
As you approach 100 again, turn in another 20 or 30, or whatever.

That way, you're never down to 0 of a given BG mark, but the marks are still getting you something.

SOTA needs to be fixed. Making horde start every match first is a bunch of bullshit. You know how it is in the BG's sometimes. You dont start with a full group and by the time you get full alliance already have walls taken down using the vehicles. What happens is they end up winning really fast. Then horde get to try and storm the base in a faster time it took alliance thus the imbalance. If bliz doesnt fix this I would be very shocked. It's very stupid. BTW if your alliance this is great. Nothing like driving around in vehicles while 7 horde try to defend.

fully agree. horde is only very rarely winning strand in our bgroup. they need to have the attack/defend order randomized or disallow matches that are that imbalanced.

such a feeling of impotence when you run to one gate, and the alliance all zerg the other and you spend the rest of the brief match trying to catch up to them...and generally failing.

holy damn tho, we've been winning over 95% of the alteracs i've been in. getting well over 100 honor per minute in there. i'm thinking that alliance is so interested in the easy strand wins, that their showing in AV is hurting.
