Patch 2.4.2 PTR notes

[Kevin]

Do I get refunded my 8k-ish honor for a head start the next time I'm forced to pvp for pve?;)

I know you're tongue in cheek with your response here but there is actually a parallel for once. There is a badge cloak that is way better for PvP than any of the honor cloaks. So for once (and I agree it's usually not this way) PvP folks can ask if they will get a refund on badges of justice for having to PvE for their PvP item since it was reduced in price when Sunwell was added. :) I know I know this fall flats in other ways when you make the comparison. I'm just being tongue in cheek back. :)

But the real reason I wanted to respond was it was interesting to see the game economy mimic the real economy even more. When new products come out, old products often get discounted (the reasons for this can often go beyond marketing and involve production, technology refinement and other stuff but the visible result is the same). I see people ask if they can get a refund since the TV they bought a month ago is now $50 less. It's just interesting to see the same thing in game and I know that I've made decisions on items to purchase in game based on forcasts of something to come down the road. Sometimes I've been happy I waited and got the lower price. Other times I wish I would have purchased the item now to have it during the time I was waiting.
