Quote:It's a pretty sound psychological principal that you reward good behavior ot encourage more of it ...Yes that'd be great if it rewarded good behavior, rather than providing additional incentives to use lame tactics not encompassed by the system.
Quote:But you aren't going to stop people who want to grief from griefing ...Indeed. But it would be nice if there were some reasonable limits, such as a temporary ressurection sickness type state applied from numerous gray kills in a short period of time.
Quote:I'm assuming you are thinking there will be more griefing of the type where a group of L30's comes and kills a solo L25-30 (insert whatever level range you want here) player so that group can get more honor points. Could be, and on a PvP server I don't see anything wrong with that.Not against the rules, no. But shouldn't an "honor" system try to encourage fair fights? That's what it seems like they're trying to do with it anyway. Just pointing out that it could backlash.
Quote:And if they camp you they get less and then none so they have some reward incentive to move on after one hit. Being killed once like that is generally not griefing in most peoples books.True, but I wouldn't want to be killed once by 50 different groups trying to get their PVP rewards either.
Quote:Of course if they base the amount of honor you get on the damage you do, and share the rest with the mob the reward for doing this isn't so high.I'd hope they design it like that, but I didn't see anything in their preview to suggest that they've not overlooked mobs. Let's hope it was an oversight on the writer's part and not on the design team's.
One more thing. A lot of players are going to see the message "You've gained an honorable kill!" when they just got barely any honor points, and consider it just as good as getting full credit because they don't know any better.
