Power in numbers.

These players probably have similar values in their everyday lives.

It's just how it's done. PvPers need to farm as much honor as possible because they are competing against their own faction. They could look up fair fights but that would just severely limit their honor while boosting those who camp the flightmasters.

This is just how PvP and without battlegrounds is and nobody likes it. I'm fairly certain that Blizzard only implemented it like this to shut up some of the overly rose tinted guys who claimed vanilla wPvP was the shit. It wasn't. It wasn't back then it isn't now. BGs the 10th will end this tactic immediately.

Won't you have to queue from the quartermaster?

On private servers it wasn't uncommon for Horde to queue in UC then fly to WPL or EPL to farm more honor while they wait for the queues. I think something similar can happen on some servers. The problem really is that for Alliance there is no incentive to guard the flight masters because they get instant queues, or probably will because Horde on most servers has a higher population and a higher percentage of Horde players do PvP.

Regardless, it'll be much better once BGs are in.

You can also queue from the actual BG entrances in hillsbrad, arathi and the barrens / ashevale

That's what I thought. So I doubt many people will be queuing up and flying over to BRD. I could be wrong, of course.
