Quote:...I want the honor system redone in Battlegrounds. Or just a way to deal with honor farming. Honestly, the reason lots of players hate PUG's is because people don't know how to win or would rather get honor from killing the enemies rather than doing the objectives. This leads to horribly long matches where people are like "Oh, well...we're gonna lose so let's turtle and get as many kills as we can for honor." That and the grinding system encourages people to join the BGs and park their character in a corner to gain honor rather than contribute.

But that's not how the system works. After 5 kills of a specific person in a day, you no longer receive honor for killing that person, so grinding kills doesn't work. Our grinders on our server actively try to make matches as quick as possible, because more matches is better for honor than more kills is. Maybe the PuGites don't realize this, but they only hurt the honor grind by extending matches (in fact, I have stalled the horde grinders to the point where they just afk out because 15 minutes is less than the time it would take them to get back into the queue).
Turtling is only a stall technique to stop the other side from getting back into the queues, so it's always in the best interest of anyone honor farming to just get it over fast.
