Yes, another WoW thread, go away.
So, this honor system? I've been reading the WoW forums, I can't post there for some reason, my login isn't accepted... Anyway, I have to say, it's re-iterated my belief that people online are 95% moronic. You get some people moaning and wanting to quit, others going 'it's pvp!!!!' and a few with brains in the middle being a bit rational.
I have been killed many times. I have been over powered by level ?? in groups, when I've been by myself. I've been fighting 2/3 monsters, and had a level 40 come up and help himself. I've had people see me, run off and come back with help.
They are whining at Blizzard on the forums. They seem to think their behaviour is entirely justified because Blizzard haven't done things exactly right. They're idiots. I want to play PvP - I realise that the world is a world of war. That does not excuse people being morons who have no notion of fun except their own geek needs. I KNOW it's a war - but for gods sake, it's also a game.
I like pvp - I've had some great fun. It'd just be nice if people would just stop for a second and realise that they are ruining it at times. I've got really annoyed (as guild members can testify ;) ) at idiots just ruining my game because they need to kill a player many levels below them, or they need to gang up and attack because they get 1 HK. I spared several lower levels today because I know how annoying it is - and when a horde starts on me, I give as good as I get, obviously, and often better, because I rule :D
I think this sums it up best - earlier, up in Arathi, I come across a same level Tauren fighthing a high level mob. I help kill it, and he runs off. I wave and go about my business. Half dead from fighting another 1/2, I could of done without him coming back and killing me. Idiots. Anyway, it's pvp, you can't expect everyone to be half witted.....AND people say 'oh ganking's fun!'. Erm, how? How is it fun? Grow up and give people a chance to play the game.
Meh, rant over. And stop raiding idiots! IT DOESN'T HELP YOU!

Yeah, I'm hoping a penalty system comes in before I have to explore the areas Goaty mentioned and receive this continual hp mining.
I sincerely hope I'm not wasting my time...
Excellent post Goaty BTW. I've limited experience of the frustrations you mention, but very level headed and intelligent arguments.

I'm not having as much problems as you higher-levelled guys, but it gets a tad annoying when I venture into the 'problem areas'.
Still, I'm not going to be forced out of a server by a bunch of sweaty, pasty-faced virginbreds who seem to have forgotten what outside (real world) looks like.
I'm sticking around. I'm having good fun levelling up in Darkshire - I spent aaages on level 24, I levelled up to 25 yesterday and am already half way to 26. Helped kill Stitches too :D
If I feel like going PVE, I already have a Warlock in cryostasis on the Bloodhoof server.

Wow, a good post that highlights all the problems of the honour system and you managed to pull a decent crowd.
Coincidently, I saw a post on the US forums that made a bloody good point. Why don't Blizzard create PvP servers that revert back to the old PvP system, before this honour patch was introduced? I'd go for it, I don't mind missing out on that high end loot if it means I can actually quest again.
I don't want to go to a PvE server, I enjoy PvP, just not the state it's in now.

Yeah, I'm staying.
It is actually quite fun if it is 1v1, 2v2 etc of fairly equal level. Especially if you're questing in the same area and frequently come across eath other, I had a good laugh with one guy and eventually we danced and bowed.

Shut up.
Jesus Christ, I pay money to play this game, it's one of the greatest games I've ever played. It's ruined by morons who couldn't give the blind bit of notice to anything but the number on their Honor pane.
I'm not moving and losing countless hours spent making my dude half way decent.

Probably. Best of both worlds for the moment, I say.
Is this the bit where i sit cackling manically at staying on a normal server?
Shut up Creepy.
If I had known it was like this or it had been implemented when I first played I would have moved.
All I see now is a stupid system that sees me waste time/money being killed, walking to corpse, getting repaired etc

I get really annoyed when I'm obviously questing and half dead then 2-3 lv ?? horde slaughter me before I can even /dance.
It is starting to annoy me.

...What?
If you can’t deal with PVP move to PVE. The honour system is dodgy, yes, but how about you make a game better, yeah? Go on. I'm looking forward to it.
The reason why people above "50+" don’t complain is because they know its all part of the game and don’t go around whining.
And "l33t boy?" hahaha. That's funny coming from you :D
