Return on Investment and AV and NOT turtling

Alterac Valley and turtling is against all logic.

You get 1K rep and 4.5K Honor on AV weekends for winning and it takes you 35 mins to run one AV if everyone cooperates.

Defending a GY adds 10 mins to a game Minimum.

Defending a tower adds 10 mins to a game Minimum.

If you Defend all your towers and GY's yet manage to kill all the enemies towers and cap all their GY's you add at most 500 Rep and at least another 1K honor sometimes 2.5K honor if youre HK farming.

Lets break this down. 4 towers per faction, 3 GY per faction. You defending all your GY and Towers adds 10 * 4 + 10 * 3 for a total of 1H10M to a game Minimum + 35 mins for a full well-oiled game. 1H45M in total.

Turtle: 1500Rep/105 for 14.3 rep per min.
Turtle 5500 Honor/105 for 52.3 honor per min in the worst case scenario and 7000Honor/105 for 66.6 in the best case scenario

Blitz: 1000Rep/35 for 28.8 rep per min.
Blitz: 4500 Honor/35 is 128.6 honor per min

As you can see, turtling EVEN if you win with the turnin of 100 rep/3marks is STILL below that of Blitz scenarios even if you factor in a 7000 honor game.

So, start bitchin across your factions and point them to this post. Numbers dont lie, peoples "But I get HK's and more honor/Rep" IS a lie.

Tbh, Alterac Valey and gaining honor points calculations is against all logic. You do AV for fun and/or grinding rep for items. For honor farm, go to WSG/AB.

Hmmm, it's almost as if some people do battlegrounds for the enjoyment of it.

Half the people on this forum are autists. They don't understand "enjoyment". They have to waste hours debating posts like this to determine the most honor/hour or whatever the hell they are trying to do instead of actually playing the game.

+1

Stop using term "autist" for insult though. Generally saying to everyone now.
