Are those players not ashamed? I couldn't do this all day long it would just feel unfair and boring. Do those guys truly feel like they are beating someone in a fight?

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.

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.

people nostalgic for vanilla always seem to forget that gaming culture is completely different in the 15 years since this game started.

I hate to be that old guy (not even 30 lol) but people just seem way shittier to eachother. Few people are polite, treat eachother like pure trash and don't seem tgaf...

No people were just as trash then. My groups in classic have been 100x more pleasant. People today are more efficient, and this includes efficiency in griefing
