2.4 BGs - some players enter, no one leavesFollow

From 2.4 patch notes:



So, as it is now, you have people yelling that winning in BG is more important than HKs because of diminishing returns. Actually, the only reason many players defend or use any kind of strategy at all seems to be this lone reason: Winning is more important than HKs for honor. Taking the towers, defending the nodes, etc all result in more net honor than just going out and killing constantly.

Also: Don't know about you, but I don't generally die 50 times in the BGs. Which makes that part inconsequential. It would be far easier to find some newb and keep on killing them 49 times than defend the Blacksmith/IBGY etc.

So won't these changes make the BGs an HK free-for-all? Will there be any incentive for players to continue defending a position when plentiful killing will garner more honor (even if that gain isn't real and only perceived)?

And won't this make new players avoid the BGs because they're constantly getting PWND?

Or maybe I'm missing something? I'm not that smart.

Im hoping AV becomes a field of strife fragfest that ends with reinforcemnts with bonuses for the towers that go untouched. It would be fun, and it would be great honor, but it may only be a dream.

Sweet, merciful Jesus. Kill me now.

Against a premade, that's not that big a deal.

Was in a WSG once when all 10 hordies stood by their GY dancing during a standoff. Whilst I agree with you that it takes a certain amount of suckyness to not be able to get the flag back, trying to get the Alliance to listen on my BG group is like talking to a brick wall.

Which I suppose is indicative of the fact that most Alliance players seem to be retarded...

Actually that is unfair on retards.
