The win/loss reward for random BGs appears to be incorrect. It is currently rewards 50 honour per win and 5 honour per loss.
On wowpedia you can find the original patch notes for patch 3.3 back in the day.
In there it reads:
- Winning a Battleground using the Random Battleground option for the first time in a day will award players with 30 Honorable Kills worth of additional Honor currency and 25 Arena points.
- Winning additional Battlegrounds using the Random Battleground option after the first random win will award players with 15 Honorable Kills worth of additional Honor currency.
- Losing a Battleground using the Random Battleground option will award players with 5 Honorable Kills worth of additional Honor currency.
Is this a conscious decision not to reward random BG queueing? Currently there’s no incentive to run randoms over specifically queueing for AV etc, which I thought was the whole point.
