It's fun to click 400 times!

Q u o t e:
-Thanks for making us click up to 400+ times to convert tokens into honor

/golfclap to the person (team) that came up with that idea!

As a one time thing it's really not that big of a deal. You could always do it in increments if you are getting bored. I also ended up figuring out a pretty easy way to do it where I had the vendor box open, I'd keep trading in the BG tokens, and just put the honor token on my 1 key so I was watching/reading other things while just spamming right click + 1 and going through all of them.

Q u o t e:


That's cool, but why do we have to do it? What purpose does Unique (10) serve? Like you said, it's a one time thing, it's not like people are going to use them to artificially bypass the honor cap, and even if they could, that could be done with marks before (not to mention Wintergrasp Commendations)

Just a frustrating restriction for no real reason other than to annoy the hell out of everybody.

What if you turned in 600 of the tokens and saved them for Cataclysm? What issues does the unique 10 really cause?

Q u o t e:


What if I just save my marks for cata and turn them in then?

You could I guess, things could change in the future though so the system could change by that time, but a token providing honor would still be a token that provides honor. There are other ways to stack honor so adding another one could be problematic in some way, so it's better to just play it safe.

And your answer to my second question? ;-)

Q u o t e:


What if the 2 second cooldown was 0 seconds instead.

I believe that's more of a safety net to help lower hits on the hardware. These are tougher things to explain but imagine 100 players crunching at the tokens together in the same place, that could lead to issues for these players and others so it's better to be safe. Oops, used the same reasoning again in another post...

Q u o t e:


Games are supposed to be fun, if i have to do another activitty while playing WoW because i'm bored, WoW isn't doing a very good job now is it?

You don't have to turn them in immediately, you could do it 5 tokens at a time over the course of several months if you are that bored. A lot of players tend to be really excited to get thousands and thousands of honor though, so it's your call on just how inconvenient it is.

Q u o t e:


Again, you are trying to JUSTIFY BAD DESIGN. You can try to reason it all you want, say that it's only a minor inconvenience, but it's still BAD DESIGN.

It's okay to admit it. We all make mistakes.

I agree it's not the most convenient design, but having done this myself I also know it's not a big deal either. You can hop in the random BG system between turn ins if you want to break things up.
