How hard does it become to farm honor in the BG's then when the only ones you can farm are just as good at farming as you are?

You forget that most of these cockgobblers have no desire to fight someone of equal skill level, they just want the easy points. Just like the level 40's one-shotting me in Hillsgank when I'm level 24.

Um.  Surely you're worth fuck all points with such a level difference ?

That's what I thought, but apparently I was sloppy pussy in prison to these nutnibbling shortbus riders.

They killed you for the same reason they kill those little bunnies and rats you find running around.

Because they could.

They also knew it would piss you off and, for some reason (daddy hates them,) that gives them joy.

Not at all. I know the mentality. They farm because it is worth something. If Blizzard made it so that you couldn't farm as effectively because you would have to face people your own rank in the BG's, then more PVP would happen outside the BG's. Since it is not nearly as time effective to try to farm outside the BG's (at least not since the days of the Hillsbrad pitched battles), I suspect the farmers will just stay in the BG's and either exploit more (forcing Blizzard to fix the game) or become more competitive.

The idea being that the pvp farmers are doing it for the rank so they can get the ranked loot. If that is the motivation, then they would not gimp themselves and stay in the lower brackets for the easier ganks. IMO, it would make the pvp more competitive in the upper brackets, which, I understand, is what a lot of PVP'ers are asking for. As it stands now, I can roll up a mage and go camp BG's and my rank goes up very quickly. A guild mate got to rank 6 in like 3 weeks (playing a hunter and camping AV) and he is only doing it for the loot, not because he wants to be a pvp specialist.

I'll take your word for it.  But it flies in the face of everything I've learned firsthand over the past few decades of fuckhead behavior in multiplayer games.
