PS, yeah the high end gear is like high end raiding… you don’t get it unless you are doing the high end activities.

It sucks, but that’s life.

Ironically, I’m in a position where my PvP gear is good… but what I need is PvE gear to take it to the next level… if you want to hear sensible rants about that, go read CriticalQQ

The new system is great.

Don’t worry about the gear so much.. it will be yours before you know it.

If you do the WG quests + BGs it will be just silly, you will have all the gear before you know it.

I did EotS tonight, admittedly as a random, but I came out with 5.5k honor.

I wasn’t chasing honor kills, I was doing the right thing and protecting a node – boring, but it helps win the game.

An EotS win used to be worth more like 600-900 honor.

It will be like LFD.. one day you don’t have T9 or T10, next you have 1 piece T10 and 3 piece T9.

I’m actually very pleased with the new random BG system and the extra honor. It’s only recently that I’ve jumped on the PvP BG bandwagon and I’m pleased with the extra honor since well…I have tons of PvP gear to buy. I still think it’s extremely hard to get decent PvE gear though, because well if you’re not raiding you only get 2 Emblems of Frost a day. Which sucks beyond belief. You can buy PvP gear for Emblems, why can’t you buy decent PvE gear for honor points? Puzzling.

Took me a while to figure out what to do with my marks of honor though. The crowded mess in Halls of Legends in Ogrimmar showed me the way to go (they were all gathering for the vendor dude to trade their marks of honor).

The action bar tip is a great one… nothing worse than right clicking while the vendor window is open to find you have sold them back!

I’m glad you like the Life-In-The-Day-of-A-Gnome… he has so many days, and thankfully WoW gives him many lives too!

You know, I really like these Life-In-The-Day-of-A-Gnome posts. It covers very nicely what you have to do to turn in those Marks.

The most helpful tip I’ve gotten was to put the commendation in your action bar. That way you can keep the vendor window open and just spam the commendations, both coming and going.

Time to get started on the alts for me!

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one baffled by this letter. It was like, uh, are there really *that* many unspent Emblems? And what does this have to do with honor?

Weird.

I assumed they had dragged the other vendors in from the cold. Hoped they have brought the honor vendors into the new world etc.

But in the 5 minutes I ran around grabbing screenshots, I didn’t notice anything.

Hey Gnome…..

Damm yet another patch i have missed. When thermaltake fix my PSU i’ll be back and further behind than ever.

Been loving COD MW2 on PS3 in the mean time. Hopefully this taste for PVP might get me revved to come fart in the general direction of the horde with you

I thought the mail message was totally weird too. Like… I’ve been spending emblems for over a year – and you’ll now telling me where to find the vendors?

Haven’t checked out the Frozen Orb trader yet but I’m keen to get my new carpet!
