Hehe, I would get that much honor from like, twenty kills. :)
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

Humorously enough, it's the honor that counts.  I'm aware of absolutely no honor calculation that involves the inclusion of the kills you've made.  It makes sense, too.  The PvP Honor system for WoW is pretty neat.

Coincidentally, I just finished doing a round of WSG.  I hadn't done it in a long time.  It was rejuvenating!  Hehe, I was actually chasing Shamans away when they tried to gank me.  I'm pretty tricky in BG, hehe.  In the flag room, a Rogue and a Shaman assaulted me when everyone else was chasing the flag bearer.  I pretended to be a total idiot and fight them for about ten seconds (if you run around, it takes them a lot longer to kill you ;D); then, I scream'ed them, ran down the ramp and hid behind the door on the left exit.  They were wandering around trying to find me, haha.

Hehe, yeah.

HK's = Honor, though.  Obviously, it depends on your level and the person you killed's level.

AV takes too damn long.  You have to wait 5 hours on my server to get into a game (don't make fun of me -- it's not a pvp server -_-), plus, the games last far too long for my continued enjoyment.  WSG is the most enjoyable BG, in my opinion.

It takes two hours on my server, on non-peak/av week.  15 minutes on peak/AV week, to spend five-six hours more?  I don't have that much time. :P

I've only done it once, and I didn't start at the begining..

Rediculous.  The wait time isn't that bad, since I can go do something else while I'm doing that, but the playtime is far too long to hold my attention span in this sort of situation.  I can do it with MC because it's such a casual event.  It's an easy instance for my raid, so we're goofing around most of the time.

Yeah, I don't actually get better stuff, so I don't go for it much.  I like WSG.

Hehe.  Some of the PvP gear is pretty nice, I must admit.  It's not nearly worth the work it requires anyone to go through to obtain it, though.

On my ex-60, I was almost Rank 9 and would have had my full PvP set, and trust me, PvP rewards are more then worth it, it's just like doing MC, you just need to work for it. (Rank 11 gets you access to a 90g mount.)

And doing AV has some AMAZING rewards, casters get a sweet staff, rogues get Lobo and Glacial (best daggers you can get without pve), although, Alliance PvP gear looks terrible, Horde gets gear that actually glows and such, it's probably more worth it on Horde IMHO.

When you consider the amount of time it takes to get to Grand Marshal, the time it takes to farm gear in MC/BWL, it's not worth it.  In about a month, I'm almost fully equipped with epic gear that, at least I think, is much better than the best PvP gear (even for PvP, ironically).  Sure, the gear's great, but it's a lot more work to get it.

The PvE gear is still better, I'd say.  You can't beat Benediction / Anathema.

Rank 14 is Grand Marshal/High Warlord, not 11.

And notice how I said Lobo and Glacial are the best daggers you can get without _PVE_.
