WoW - Controversy over Hk's

[Glavinsolo]

I just witnessed an alliance guild trading hks with a horde guild to raise cp. It pissed me off. I took screens and we are in the process of taking a Fraps Vid.

I have absolutely no idea what any of that means.

HK = Honorable Kills
CP = Contribution points

CP gets you gear with your faction. Dieing in PVP does not cause armor loss. So they could all be the top people of the server and get an epic mount for 90g

there are diminishing returns for killing the same people over and over. I doubt it will let them get to the top just by doing that. the "conspiracy" would have to include several large guilds for it to work.

Ah, the joys of PvP in WoW. The reason I am taking an extended break from the game. Maybe I'll start playing again in a few months if Blizzard gets their act together and fixes all their stupid fixes of stuff that was supposed to be in the game when it was released 6 months ago but wasn't.........

Quit crapping in his thread, cheaters ruin games.

After the explanation, I *still* have NO idea what the OP is going on about. That makes me very happy.

It's cheap, but it would take 2 very large guilds to actually actually have an effect on the rankings. How many players were involved?

Well, if one was a bit systematic you could just let everyone know that "At yada yada time every day we gather in whereever and everyone gets to kill everyone three times".
After a week or two that would probably be quite significant.

And yeah, that sucks, but with a little luck Blizzard will permban them all.

Oh and no, WoW doesn't mean all that to me, I just don't like cheaters.

wow that works.. NOT.... as HKs dont mean anything.. it has 0 to do with the points you get behind the scene...
if a target has been killed recently you get a VERY reduced point add for the kill.. a kill you make SOLO on a person that has not been killed recently will give 4x the points as a shared or a recently killed target...

for example..
in 1 week on Test center I racked up 4000 kills in the BGs...
and only ranked up to sargeant....

the same character ranked up to master sargent with only 2000 kills... over 2 weeks soloing..

This is not really a problem.. I can gank people that are worth faster than they can wait for recycle of points.

Been saying that for months . . . Blizzard really dropped the ball with WoW. Granted, its making money hand over fist, but the quality that was present in previous games just isn't there.
