    Guard kills rewarding honor on Beta...

    I just read this on the front page and thought it was really interesting. This could bring back World PVP from its grave. Then again there needs to be a solution to keep players from farming guards.

    What do you think? DISCUSS

    Let's hope this is not Blizzard's way of saying:

    Now you can venture into the world, kill any guild you see in a settlement, and earn honour!!!! World PvP is fixed.

    I thought it was a cool idea. As it is getting Honor is either horrid for the people you get in the BG with because you have no res or trivial because those with res don't need it.

    It's not a bad idea, worked like a charm back in the olden days (@ faction leaders giving honor).

    Do want dishonor re-implemented

    DKs (Dishonourable Kills, for the newer players) stopped PuG world PvP. If they made it killing blows, or made it so every quest mob, auctioneer etc wasn't attackable (I would prefer this, at least you don't have to wait for respawns), then sure.

    I think it could be interesting. Definite potential to spark more world pvp. Particularly in the new zones where people are leveling, farming, doing dailies etc.

    I can't honestly see people being able to farm any great amount of honour from guards anyhow.

    I think it would work fine if they did it right.


    Like, you could only get honor for guards within you level, so like level 20s or whatever can kill guards in a level 20 town.

    Max level people should only be able to kill guards in capital cities for honor. Otherwise they would just farm honor in some random nowhere place. If it is farming guards at a capital city, it is fine since it would result in actual PvP.

    Dishonor is a good way to make people never want to random world PvP again. I'm still stunned they let both that and the original honor system go live, but well, it was a different time back then.

    Anyway, OT, it sounds like a good idea, in conjunction with other changes they're hopefully making. I don't think just making guards give honor is going to fix much of anything on its own though.
