HONOR SYSTEM
The honor system has been reworked to match the PvP honor system on vanilla retail. None of the following changes are custom, they are all Blizzlike. We tested these changes under a lot of situation, but bugs still may occur. In that case, please report it on the bugtracker.
We hope that these changes will reduce the number of level 60 gankers in 48-59 pexing areas, and encourage a more fairplay environment.
Honorable Kill: killing a player character within your XP range, i.e. a character whose name is colored (green to red), not grey. There are several factors influencing the Honor value of such a kill:
- Your victim's level: killing a level 60 character gives more Honor than killing a level 50 character. Killing a "grey" player gives no Honor.
- Group or raid: killing while in a group or raid will share the Honor among team members in the same way as XP, with the exception of the raid penalty on XP not being applied to Honor. Lower level members will get a smaller portion than the higher level ones. Note: kills made in a group or raid still count towards your subsequent kills penalty. Members of the group or raid group will not receive honor points if they are too far away from the group member who got the kill, much like earning XP.
- You or your team or raid's contribution to the kill: each solo character, group or raid participating in the kill gets their share of the Honor. The share is roughly equal to the percentage of damage inflicted to kill the target. Notes:
- If an opponent does not receive any damage for one minute the record of who contributed to killing him is wiped clean. Thus, even if you come upon a lone enemy someone else might have fought him (and lost) recently and you might not get the full share of Honor for killing him.
- Monsters and NPCs take their part too. If you jump a character already injured by a monster or NPC (and maybe still in combat) your reward will be smaller.
- The opponent being healed during combat does not mean he's worth more points, only that it takes more damage to kill him.
- Being present at the time of the kill: you need to be alive and close by at the time of the kill to get your share of the Honor.
Note: We applied pre-1.8 honor rewards at kill (honor per kill reduced by about 20%).
ANTICHEAT SYSTEM
Our anticheat system is now quite stable and resilient to new hacks. However, some players using bots remain undetected. These software don't obviously modify the client (no speed hack, etc ...), and thus are harder to detect. We have been working this last week on a powerful solution against these botting software (which are completely forbidden here, and can lead to account permanent ban).
A first basic detection solution has been applied to the live server during the week, and managed to detect a lot of players actually using bots. These cases were manually verified and more than 200 accounts have already been suspended.
We are taking these threats very seriously, and are working hard to improve the detection rate, to finally make bots a "thing of the past".
