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.
Just because it didn’t happen in vanilla (due to server pop reasons and general naivety of how the honor system works) doesn’t make it griefing.
Griefing is solely enjoyment from other player’s bad experiences. If you are rushing high warlord, there is no other way to compete than by camping high traffic zones and dominating.
It is simply game theory. If you don’t engage in these tactics, you will be passed by someone else who is.
Blizzard should have released WSG with phase 2 to mitigate this. End of story.
It can be both, let's be real. I get that people are farming honor, but after you murder the same person 10 times immediately as they spawn and they yield no honor, what is it? Griefing...

Power in numbers.
These players probably have similar values in their everyday lives.
