**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
Member of my current guild for approx 120 days and an active player for over a year. I have been stuck at honorable 1 after receiving between 30-40 honor from my current guild. I have not been banned and there is no honor scoring available from the devs.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Its been happening for approx 120 days.
Steps to make it happen again
Get honor over and over only to never rank up
Itâs a 4.x feature, which means its bafflingly terrible and never will be fixed. You click a player in global, it gives you the option to honor them. You give them a high five, then click their profile, you realize they are revered and 1 of your 2 daily honors is wasted forever. You wonder âWhy would it not show their honor level on the first screen?â. âWhy would it let me waste my honor on someone who is already revered?â. An entire year goes by. You realize it hasnât been improved or addressed in any way.
I have a theory that when X player honors the same exact player over and over. They are actually giving negative honor points to the player.
I had a member submit a ticket about it months ago. Thereâs been communication back and forth but still no resolution on that regard.
Iâm 99% sure that if I honor the same person continuously then my honor points for them decrease each time from itâs original worth. Letâs say my honor is worth 10, then the next day itâs worth 9 if I honor the same exact player ect.
What I believe happened 3-4 months ago is they made some adjustments. And now the decrease is going past the value of Zero into the negative numbers.
They donât disclose exactly how itâs supposed to work so they can adjust the values as they see fit and randomly. They blame the players for not disclosing how honor works with the that they donât want it âexploitedâ. But have no issue with players trading honor daily.
Yet they donât have the time to invest hours into figuring out why a player went from Exalted 3 to Exalted 2 without receiving a ban of any sorts. But did receive honor from the same folks for at least 5 months now.
I donât think the honour system works at all. Guild mates giving guild mates honour is based on contribution within the guild. That seems perfectly ethical to me. People spamming global chat with honour trading based on nothing is unethical. And yet the latter gives more honour boost than the former. Add to this the huge increase in alt profiles to further illegitimately boost their primary accounts just compounds the issue further. Those who profit most from this ludicrous honour system (in the majority of cases) are those who behave the most dishonourably of all. Itâs a joke how ill conceived this system is.
The best way to get honor in GoW is to trade yours away or beg for it from strangers.
Is prostitution a flag worthy word?
If not, then thatâs basically what the current honor system promotes.
BTWâŚIâm assuming this thread will be changed to feedback and wonât actually be taken as a bug report.
Because if we donât know how something is supposed to work. Then the devs never have to admit it itâs bugged or not.
Feel free to delete my feedback if this actually remains a bug report thread.
Not a bug, but a feature! How typical. Beg for honor - Iâm not a whore. I guess Iâll just not worry about honor at all, not try to complete anything and just play for fun. No $ from me will go to this game if they canât implement features that actually help guilds, not strangers.
You seem so sad that you canât cheat the honor system by just trading honor amongst a few people Instead you have to meet and greet other people, and maybe not make strangers of them. You can even invite another guild for lite chat and honor trading in one of the hundreds of chat channels.
Thereâs discussion to be had about if itâs a âcheatâ.
There are plenty of ways the devs could have implemented Honor so âtradingâ couldnât happen. Beta testers could have provided feedback in that direction within a few days. Five year olds could have provided further feedback. So could high school students, a rich crop of foreign programming labor.
But they didnât. And itâs been several updates, and theyâve done nothing to combat honor begging. At some point the âbugâ becomes a âfeatureâ. If they really wanted players to use honor as a âtippingâ system, theyâd tie it to game actions. Itâd be post-PvP only, or in response to a guildmate buying guild packages. âIn response to a game eventâ is the righ time to do it. But their vision is limited.
It âseemed funâ and they tried it out, now it needs tweaks. But we donât get tweaks to old features in this game, they are on a treadmill designed to create new features. So this is the postmortem of honor: âA neat idea that needs iteration, but the team is obligated to avoid iteration.â
In short: whine all you want, the effective way to get honor is the way you hate. The devs could fix this to show they agree with you, but they havenât. That implies youâre wrong. Donât like it? Take your own advice: quit posting or quit playing and above all else quit whining. The game is a beautiful angel and you should be ashamed for insulting one of its features.
Sad - pfft, hardly. There are 30 members in my guild - thatâs not a few people. If we as guildmates cannot honor one another without real meaning, thatâs a terrible implementation. Honor among guildmates should count equally to otherâs honor. Itâs not cheating to actually honor someone for a job well done, whether itâs from number of battles, their performance in gw, making leaderboards - actually honorable.
Next time before you talk crap, think that maybe someone is making a legitimate point. People want to understand how something is implemented so they can do things to work towards goals, not cheat (at least me). For you to suggest otherwise will only give those individuals posting on this forum the desire to not post and not understand. That can drive people away. Why donât you ask what their meaning is instead of judging someone as a cheater.
I see people all the time on the global chats, asking to trade honor. Are those people cheats? Do yourself a favor, be more constructive and be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
ill give some tips which i know work
honor from reverend is worth more then other ranks
honor from gms is worth more then other ranks
honor from higher level players is worth more then other ranks
honor from other guilds is worth more then guildmate honor
now what each honor is meant for
helpful. If a gm or someone posts a team and helps others send helpful honor to them. did they share a team? map floors? etc?
that was fun. use this fighting people in pvp who you thought had a good team, made a challenge or you like fighting them. fireball defences get this often due to reward gold and glory
hi5 is the common honor to friends and others who do a good job
other ways to get honor can be from reporting players violating code of conduct
it takes many honor to get to reverend and your behavior and causing trouble in global can lose honor by being reported.
each level rank needs more honor to increase. the third purple rank feels like you need 100-150 honor
best advice is be a good overall person, help others, report trouble and try honor channels with 2up.
while you may say im no snitch etc⌠thats up to you and weather you want be a helpful or not
Iâll add my two cents hereâŚin my PC guild, we have an honor system setup: every member passes out their two honor to two different, designated guild mates, each day (that arenât Revered). It doesnât appear to be making any difference, whatsoever. So, on my Xbox account, I went from Honorable III to Revered in exactly 3 weeks. It wasnât by trading. I spammed cPVP (far left hand side) every day & setting my defense to Fire Bomb team. Iâd usually end each day with 10-15 honor, most being that was âfunâ . On my PC acct, I didnât spam PVP, but it seemed doing some PVP usually entailed me getting 5-6 honors per day and Iâm convinced that pushed me to Revered, more so than the in-guild passing out of honor.
from what ive noticed in the honor channel and being a gm
also report someone and if there is a ticket in your mail usually you become rewarded w honor in helpful
try it yourself
that they donât want it âexploitedâ. But have no issue with players trading honor daily. 
Instead you have to meet and greet other people, and maybe not make strangers of them. You can even invite another guild for lite chat and honor trading in one of the hundreds of chat channels.
