I have only ever played on PVP servers. I have never had a situation where there was an incentive for players to farm other players. There was the odd occasion where some enemy factions were being idiots but not a mechanic where the sole incentive was to go out and annoy people.
As I said, I have always played on PvP servers. Yes, this did happen to me, often. Running away doesn't help because you can't get away quick enough when you are outnumbered. If you last more than 2 blows then there is bound to be a root or slow in there. The 10 min debuff doesn't mean much to most of the farmers, they are not really looking for it, they are just looking for red. Ganking is easy to deal with. Someone shouts at a main city that people are ganking players in X and a bunch of max level players quickly go and deal with the problem. Have you tried saying the same thing about coin farmers? I saw someone put a message in trade and they were lambasted with pretty much the same insults that are going on here.I'm not sure if the situation you're positing actually even happened to you, or you're just conjecturing up some bad situation.
When you are killed by someone using the censer, you get a 10 minute debuff. If they kill you again while you have that debuff on you, they don't get a bloody coin. On TOP of that, only ONE person that kills you out of this group of five, or what have you, people, can get a bloody coin from you anyway. It doesn't give one to everyone involved in killing you.
If you remove bloody coins from the equation, then it literally becomes a matter of ganking, which they could have been doing to you if they were on the opposite faction irrespective of the censer or not. Ganking, which if you'll recall, is something that can happen on a PvP server.
If it's not for you, then, obviously, PvP in which you might face people trying to kill you in the world apparently isn't for you. In which case, they have PvE servers for just that.
World PvP has never been about farming people. Danger, count me in, 2 vs 1, count me in, farming, come on, are you seriously trying to tell me that people will pay to be farmed? I love going around in the world not knowing if an enemy player will be around the corner waiting for me. It makes things interesting. But being farmed is not what I signed up for.
Censers can't have any of the timeless isle buffs except the food one which is a minor buff. Welcome to world pvp no matter which faction you are fighting you think fighting a 570 gnome mage would have a different result of fighting a 570 blood elf mage?

I've already responded to you on this weak argument multiple times.
Anyways, thankfully it's only limited to Timeless Isle.
It can be left there to rot once World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor -expansion is released.
They're encouraging world PvP. People have been asking for Blizzard to do that for a long time. They relegated it to one island in one part of a continent at the END of the expansion.
As I said, you could easily buy your own censer for a piddlin' sum of timeless coins and be completely immune to the farming demigod players as they can't actually farm you as you're friendly to them.
There are avenues to gear up other than the timeless isle. TOT LFR is more than enough to get into SoO LFR, PvP grinds have always been the way they are, and flex raiding has made it easier on top of everything else.

First bolded part, I call BS, There is no way a 566 tank can lose that much HP, Impossible, Unless you're wearing cloth, my tank has less ilvl than that and I've never once gone past 80% in an opener, and there are some very well geared people on my realm, Both full HC/Warforged and PvP, I just can't believe a tank can lose 2/3 of their HP in an opener.
Second bolded part I don't believe either, You do realise people farming the coins won't attack you while you're fighting a mob, because if the mob gets the KB on you then they get no coin, it makes no sense, Yes, maybe people who are just grieving, but they would do it regardless, But people who actually farm coins won't risk losing all the kills to mobs, especially those with one shot mechanics.
Obviously, you might be telling the truth here, But I'm just saying that in my opinion, I don't see either of those happening

Its the dumbest thing they have come up with in a while, and I believe the negative feedback they received will warrant it wont happen again.
If the PVP zone in WoD is just for PVP, I won't protest at all. I will not go there, and people who want to PVP can frag their asses off. The best solution for everyone.
Mother pus bucket!

But you just said "tons of others seem to be just fine with and even enjoy". It seems to me that's not quite the truth. If it was so successful, why is it not finding its way into WoD? Do you think that Blizzard would leave out a wildly successful mechanic that "tons of people are fine with enjoy".
The point is that for everyone else but the coin farmers, it stinks.
I only kill lowbies who are picking on other lowbies or who are messing with guards or things like that. Suffice to say, however, I could have easily tailed them and continued cutting them down if I had wished.
I'm not an asshole, however, so I don't. But there are many, many players who continually farm (also known as CAMP) lowbies or noobs at the GY because they can.
Again. Part of being on a PvP server.
