PTR honor + boxing = $$$

[Meathead]

To elemental they are testing alot of things with honor and how much you get. By the sounds of it looks way to much honor. As they are also testing how much honor you get with a single mark but the real price for marks is only 185 honor for 1 got that from a blue post PTR is all about testing I believe it will get dropped alot more then it is now in the PTR later on just wanted to add my 2 cents

So I was thrilling myself with the joys of the PTR. They had a PvP event with the GM's and I decided to test my luck in the random BG system. Well lone and behold I was drawn into the pool for AV. So I cheerfully ran rampent about the game, which crashed, but then started back up. Anywho, we (alliance) managed to destroy all of the towers and kill drek with in 25 minutes. Now here is where the fun begins.

Ok so after that game concluded I glanced at the standings board, only to be bewildered by my teammates honor gained. He had around 7.5k I was in awe, because he had only no more than 30 HK's. So I've worked out this formula.

If we did AV in 25 minutes, that would be 2.5 AVs per hour. With each AV raking in ~7k honor if played correctly we can finish with about 14k per hour per character. For me that's ~70,000 honor per hour, given I have five. Now if I were to play 12 hours in one given day. I'd be sitting at about 800,000 honor in 12 hours of playing AV. We subtracted ~40,000 for the queue's and such.

Now with the grand total of 800,000 devided by the gem price of 10k per gem, I'd have about 80 gems. With 80 gems at 150 per gem, I'd be raking in 12,000 gold. So about 1000 gold an hour for my efforts. Not that bad. So I approve of this patch.

We are on the same server and he has been going on and on and on about this for a week or two. I hope he is wrong becuase we don't want it to become to easy.
