WOW Honor Issues : World of Warcraft General Discussions

The comment made about honor reward prices being reduced post-expansion was worded carefully as the change is not set in stone. After the expansion releases there is a strong possibility that honor reward prices will be reduced as their relative value will be decreased when compared to expansion items. The wording used was carefully chosen to avoid being locked in to a promise of a change that is a couple months off, not to sidestep or carefully divert a question about honor gains as a whole.

The honor gain change implemented and announced today was a change that was developed within a very short amount of time; after the above statement on reward prices had already been made. In order to save the servers and battlegrounds from unneeded stress it was decided that we would announce the change during maintenance. The post made about reward prices not changing had already been made, and short of announcing the honor gain change itself the post was there to stay.

While the prices of the honor rewards are not technically increasing, the intent of that statement wasn’t to misdirect the question into a specific avenue where something positive could be said. We can’t prove what we know or when we know it, or that our goals are to build a positive community and not to use petty diversion tactics (although this post could be step towards that). You can and likely will draw your own conclusions from the statements made and this clarification, but I thought it important to at least attempt to provide some insight into the events leading up to today, however futile that may be in light of the change itself.
