You also got 1 mark for losing, 3 marks for winning. Bad example.
OT: Mark of Honor are for old gear. ATM the system is bad because you earn NOTHING for bging EXCEPT marks of honor and shitty 690 gear. However, once you're 110 - this isn't the case. You earn honor. I wouldn't complain *too* much about it right now, since it's not intended to be the main way you get gear.
