Overestimated

I seriously overestimated my ability to gather honor points, thinking I could make 1,000 points per hour. That estimate was based on the 6,500 points I made on the weekend. But I'm not really sure I only played 6-7 hours on the weekend, and then there was the weekend honor bonus, giving double (?) honor for Arathi Basin, the battleground I did most.

So the night before the patch, without the weekend bonus but before the nerf, I made 2,800 honor points in 4 hours of Alterac Valley. Weekdays at least I know how many hours I play, 4 hours between coming home from work and going to bed. So pre-patch in AV I was at 700 points per hour, less than the 1,000 I had hoped for, but still okay.

Yesterday I did 4 hours of only Warsong Gulch. 5 wins, 3 losses, not a bad ratio, gaining me 18 WSG marks. But in terms of honor this was a catastrophe, I only made 1,314 points. Post-nerf, no bonus, WSG, 320 honor points per hour. Just one third of what I had been counting on. I have over 10,000 honor now, but still not even half the 22,500 points I need for that High Warlord blade. Nevertheless with another weekend ahead, which should be bringing double honor again, and the holidays ahead, I'm sure I'll get my blade before the Burning Crusade comes out. But probably not much more than that at this rate.
