After Tuesday’s maintenance cycle, our intrepid PvPers noticed that bonus honor rewards from the Battlegrounds has been reduced by 30%. Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch both yield a maximum of 140 bonus honor (previously 200). Alterac Valley has also been scaled back, with the base honor reward dropping to 14 bonus honor (previously 20); a typical “fast” AV now earns around 200 honor points. Apparently, some folks earning 25k honor in one week was a bit too much; rather than changing the honor cost of related items, the Implementors have chosen to reduce the earning rate. Still, the possibility of earning Grand Marshal epic weapons in three or four “casual” PvP weeks of effort is awfully enticing.

Also, we wanted to remind everybody that Winter Veil starts this week! Greatfather Winter’s bringing presents for all good little Azerothians again! We’ll be updating the seasonal pages with any changes by the weekend.
