Came home late from work last night and only had 2 hours time to play. I went to Alterac Valley anyway, because I wanted to test whether AV is really the best place to farm honor. It isn't. The first battle we surprisingly won in half an hour, and I'm proud to say that it was me who struck down General Vanndar with an execute killing blow. The second battle never ended, because when we were just about to lose enough people teleported back, took all graveyards on our side, and kicked the Alliance back all the way to their home territory. That was kind of fun too, but after 90 minutes the game was still a solid draw, so I had to leave without a victory mark. No wonder defence isn't popular in AV, losing and restarting earns you more than defending.
More importantly I managed to do 144 honor kills, which is *exactly* the same amount of kills I got the day before in 4 hours of WSG. The 4 hours of WSG had given me only 1314 honor, and so by making the same amount of kills in half the time I figured I would get at least more honor per hour. That didn't happen. This morning I checked my score and only had 536 honor. I got *less* honor per hour in AV than in WSG, in spite of winning AV once and making twice the kills per hour. Apparently the bonus honor from winning the small battlegrounds counts for more than the number of kills. I had thought that the estimated numbers you can see in your combat chat window, giving you just 2 honor points for killing a sergeant and 6 for a field marshal was inaccurate. But apparently between 2 and 6 points per kill is exactly what you end up getting. Long way to 22,500 honor then.
Oh, and merry christmas, the christmas event in World of Warcraft started today. As far as I can see it is still exactly the same even than the last two years, so I'm not terribly excited.
