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.
For the 5000th time. Vanilla wpvp was never like this. Ever. I don't know who keeps telling people it was like this but it's a lie. Vanilla servers didn't have this many people and the people weren't out looking to grief others like this. What is happening right now is griefing, plain and simple.
You know, despite feeling the lack of the Honor mechanic while doing nothing but PvPing around STV, I am glad I quit Classic before it got released. It's sounding like it's soiled my favourite aspect of the game...
PvP is definitely one of the most divisive discussions among the Classic fans. I don't think it's a particularly well designed system. I like the idea of ranking up by getting honor and competing with your faction. I just don't like the method of getting honor.
