What should make me think this character has anything in common with the one you use to spam forums with your uninformed opinions?
Different achievements, different honor levels. This troll char isnt even part of the alts and the priest already has a monk alt in the same guild, so why would you make 2 monk alts you dont even play? Considering you sound bold and stupid enough to fake somebody elses character and posting it here I call it a lie. But whatever, I literally dont care if its true or not.
I just did few random bgs on my 2 aliance chars and noted the amount of honor I received:
1130 Silvershard mines first win
1304 twin peaks first win
977 EoS win
959 WSG win
1159 AB win
1208 AB win
1266 gravity lapse first win
1188 gilneas win
Since I did pure random with many 30k hp heroes, I think its fair to say that even losses gave me around 600 honor. I get this for a victorious match as horde!
Keep in mind this is not a honor weekend, which gives you 50% increased honor gained buff.
Lets assume you get 1100 honor per win. Considering you obviously have friends to play arenas with, also functional guild, get them together, make a premade and stomp enemies with your skill and gear within 5-10 minutes. Thats 6,6k honor per hours without the 50% bg week bonus.
I cant see any 9.1 updated full conq set cost info, but I assume its around 100-110k excluding a legendary item slot.
Assuming you did not get the rating within few days, lets say you get 2 items from the vault for 2 weeks. That reduces this grind by thousands, up to tens of thousands if you are lucky and get your weapon. These items are already upgraded
Also every character has seasonal quests in 40men bgs like winter grasp and Ashran. Thats another like free 3000 honor.
Weekly quests, assume 2 weeks journey for the bis gear, so 2* dunno 2k+ honor for participating? Also RBG gives you crapton of honor, while you do the weekly q.
The first guy mentioned 150 games so assume it to get 2100, then its 15k (few daily wins, losses included) honor from playing arenas.
If you count it all, I expect it to be like 50-60k honor required to farm, give or take. Some losses, some daily win bonuses, some weekly bonuses.
That all is WITHOUT THE BG WEEK BONUS I was talking about. I dont know how blizzard counts this 50% dmg bonus, if its multiplicative or additive, I dunno, their wording always sucks ***. Just do the rest of the research yourself. I expect it to reduce the grind by 1/3 or 1/2, which is perfectly doable in premade within hours, days max.
I have nobody to play with atm, so I do random crap and gear my alts and if you use all the mechanics the game offers you instead of just crying about everything, it is actually not as bad as you make it to be. Do I like the system? NO. I just adapt and try to make it less painful by using the tools I have. Ive made 2 ali chars, dinged 2 days ago and I have most of the grind behind me, despite I go full solo yolo aliance experience. You can do it easily if you have ppl to play with.
Again this is aliance experience. Horde with 15 mins que and half of honor rewarded have it waaaay harder.
Here is some explanation.
