Hello
I’m grinding towards rank 6 and therefore I spend a lot of time I AV today. I got like 380 hk for the day, which added up to 8k honor it got be wondering if that aint a bit low for lvl 60? and also the last AV i was participating in I was there for about 3 hour and the overall standing said that I had close to 500 hk so that doesn’t quite add up to the 380 hk in my honor tab (was also in an AV game before that). So my question is just if that can be right?
Best regards Aztharöt newly lvl 60 warlock Horde PvP

The Honor system works like that;
As you participate in PvP, you accumulate Honorable Kills. Generally speaking, an Honorable Kill is awarded whenever you or someone in your group kills a player of the opposing faction, if that player has sufficiently high level (not gray).
Not all HKs are equal. Each HK comes with a certain amount of "Honor Contribution Points" (CP). You get more CP for killing the enemy Field Marshal than for a player with no prior PvP experience. In addition, you get CP for fulfilling Battleground objectives.
The amount of honor awarded for killing any person gradually decreases if you kill him repeatedly within a 24-hour window. This is the reason why long Alterac Valley battles, which can result in excess of 1000 Honorable Kills in the matter of 5 hours, yield relatively meager amounts of Honor. Participating in many short Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin games against different opponents is probably the fastest way to gain Honor. For each kill the gained honor decreases with 10%. For example an unranked player gains 160 honor on the first kill, second kill is 144, third kill 128, 112, 98, 80, 64, 48, 32, 16 and the 10th kill gains no honor.
And if you can't see the honor/HK's of your current BG added, just wait for a loading screen and check it then or do a relog/restart of your client.
