It's common knowledge that Blizzard has put a lot of effort to avoid players from exploiting the honor gains system in World of Warcraft.

One of the security measures implemented by the company is diminishing honor returns when repeatedly killing a single player. In patch 2.4, this feature will no longer be active thanks to better honor and battleground systems.

Community Manager Drysc said on the WoW forums that while they are removing diminishing returns from the the game, they are planning on adding two new restrictions.

The first is that players who have the resurrection sickness debuff will not be worth any honor. The second, and more significant one, is a rule that if a player dies 50 times or more during a battleground they won’t be worth any honor for the remainder of that battle.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of the removal of this system is that honor will automatically be awarded to the player. This means that users no longer have to wait until the next day to spend their hard earned honor points.
