Realms A solution to the honor grind

[Dehzo]

It would be cool if they increased the honor rate from bg's by 50% on all servers.

Honor is a grueling grind in this expansion. Probably 50+ hours...

A lot of pvpers, such as myself, want to play multiple characters but do not want to have to grind so many bg's on multiple characters.

It's not bad for pve to give people slightly better access to pvp off pieces; and the change would help pvpers immensely...

Another idea I have is a feature where arena wins have a small chance to drop a Commendation of Bravery (+2000 honor). This would make arena more appealing on all servers. But more importantly, it would motivate new players to stay on Blackrock because playing arenas would immediately be productive for the progression of their characters.

I think they do not care because for example, 90% of Icecrown server players donating money for PVP/PVE gear, every kid is runing over there with Shadowmourne :D If they gonna change that rates, they gonna lose DONATORS so i think, this is just a dream :D

[Dehzo]

I disagree. It's better to establish a more rewarding system for new players, thus leading to a stronger player base overtime...

They can't do that, but not because of pvp system, but because of economy. You see, when someone maxes out gear, honor is capped and they have to spend it somewhere, so they buy purple gems which sell for few hundred gold always.

Making honor more easily obtainable would mean economical impact too, otherwise if you couldn't buy tradeable items for honor, it would make no difference and would be safe, since for honor you can only get wrathful offset and furious mainsets.

Exactly what Vespher said.
Even besides that, 50+ hours? That's not a lot, that's a week. WoW has always been time consuming, the people you see running around with full WF/HC offset probably have weeks and months of ingame time. We've all been there, you'll get past it.
