    Best Battleground to farm HKs

    So, I'm pretty bad at pvp. It's just not really my thing, but I really want the artifact color, so I'd like to plague as few BGs as possible with my scrubby self and get 1000 HKs asap.

    Most of them seem pretty hit or miss depending on the team, but so far Isle of Conquest seem to be the best, but I'd love to hear from people who actually pvp

    Look for bots in front of Halls of lightning, Temple of the Jade Serpent or Firelands (maybe more places to search but that the ones i know of) on my server/phase there were like 100+ lvl 100 druid bots zoning in and out of the Firelands raid and i killed them with like 3 ticks of concecration, had the 1000kills for the color in like 30 minutes also use the yaungol tranformation for bloody coins and you work towards 2 goals at the same time.

    There's some sweet irony in here how the farmbots facilitated you to turn pvp into an assembly line job itself.

    At about 8 CST Friday, I looked for bots at Temple of the Jade Serpent, the Ulduar area 5 mans and the 3.3 ICC 5 mans... saw 1 bot. 3 AVs later, I got my remaining 550 kills. So don't even bother trying to farm bot HKs.

    I'd say Ashran at the moment assuming you get in a good one where your side is winning.

    Second would be AV in a stalemate, which forces people to fight at mid a lot of the time, can come out of that with 200+ HKs.

    It's from the hidden artifact skin. Every class (afaik) does have a 1000 HK while having the hidden artifact equipped acm

    oh damn, thought i could just get a skin from killing people

    thought there would be a catch, ive already gained around 3k kills this expansion, thought i should have it by now

    pretty much this, mass killing bots for hks is much faster than IOC and AV, unless you doing HK farming premade

    Not that it matters, since I got my skin, but I notice you're EU. Is Lorianus EU too? 'Cause if you're both EU then maybe there's a difference between NA and EU on the number of bots. Regardless, I didn't see many at all on a NA server.

    I guess i see your point here, most Blizzard developers is probably in US. And US might have much better botting detection and more bots banning than EU servers.

    They are a bit more sophisticated now. Long gone are the days of bot trains with 10 bots standing on the same pixel. Took me a bit of research to see them now too.

    Both regions are equally terrible, they both use the same fully automated systems that lead up to the occasional ban wave.
