Last night I was about to use my marks to get my self a charger, but I was to tired I have 100 marks for warsong, 85 marks for alterac vally and 25 marks for arathi basin.. But got sick of doing that so I went to bad after I finish my quest are dire maul... So while today I realize there is a update I went omg no, so I was unable to log in since 6pm my time, even though I was able to play wintergrasp right after.. After I went strait where to get my charger to use the marks.. Now it's 50000 honor I didn't even had a chance or even knew about the marks from the vendor gonna be removed that fast.

So is there a way a gm could give me the charger for the marks for it, it's simply unfair I was in the forums about the update never even mention about the marks would disappear, that you have a chance to use them still.

No, I'm afraid not, Elfrick. If you had not made your purchase prior to patch 3.3.3 being implemented we would be unable to make the exchange on your behalf. The mount has a new price that consists only of honour.

The Marks have not been removed, they simply can no longer be acquired. Whatever Marks you have can now be exchanged for hounor, which may help you reach the 50k mark you need.
Q u o t e:

# Battlegrounds will no longer award Marks of Honor.

* Players with existing Marks of Honor can still turn them in to their respective faction's quest givers, including individual marks for those who may have more marks for one Battleground than another.
* Items which previously required Marks of Honor will have their costs adjusted to remove these requirements.

Q u o t e:
Vrakthris but there was no one in the thread about the update when the update is live,


I'm not certain I understand what you mean, Elfrick, this change was announced awhile ago.

It is clear in the patch notes as well.

Q u o t e:
all marks won't work at the vendor at all.


Marks are no longer accepted at vendors as part of the purchase price. All items that used to require Marks of Honor now require only honor. Their prices were adjusted for the removal. As previously stated you may now exchange your Marks of Honor at specific Quest NPC's for honor.

Q u o t e:


where was this announced? certainly not in-game or in the game client. so I have to visit the forums weekly to be able to play the game?


No, Gees, but it would behoove you to check out patch notes periodically.

As I told you in the other thread, change is part of the nature of any MMO.

And that's why I moved your other thread to the Suggestion Forum, Gees. While others can comment that forum is for our policy makers and developers to see your opinions.

I'm not really sure what else to tell you. This was announced a LONG time ago. Checking for upcoming changes is as standard a part of playing an MMO as learning to fight or buff or heal.

It's just a part of them.

We even have a test realm when a new patch is in development that you can log into and get a hands-on feel for changes before they happen.

Given the length of the patch notes, exactly how would you propose to disseminate that information in-game? Just because you've decided that one line and this one issue is the only thing that will impact you and is important - there are quite a number of changes with this patch. How precisely would you recommend that be done better than in patch notes and a test realm all players have access to?

Gees, I'm just going to give you a piece of advice now for what it's worth.

With what is going to happen with Cataclysm, if you are sensitive to change, for your own sake, please do check patchnotes and do a little out of game reading.

LOTS is going to be changed.
