Yes. It's a good thing. I understand being frustrated at getting killed multiple times, but no item should literally ruin a whole weeks worth of progress.
If there was an item that caused raiders to lose all gear they earned that week, or farmers to lose everything they farmed for the week, ppl would be a lot less likely to defend this.
Working as intended. Don't kill people's quest mobs (that they spawn to complete the quest).
I don't really mind it all that much for 1v1 ganking but for big group fights it's gonna be aids, there will be people popping these in big 15+ v 15+ fights just to screw over the other factions group which might kill this form of wpvp.
You did mention that, but you've also been wrong on all accounts, which caused my comment. You're clearly painting a picture of PvP being some kind of monster because you're afraid to admit you're just bad at it.
Takes a long time, meaning corpsecamping for honor is worth it in general.
Hey, at least you got something right. I mean, it's pretty obvious you think this a jab at me, but I've never called it that and share the sentiment entirely.
I love this.
The horde that camps and kill low lvls in gadgetzan got LOTS of dishonorable kills a few days ago.
But now it's patched as far as I know.
Then this whole thing was much ado about nothing. /shrug
My issue was never with players being assholes, it was always the fact that these items weren't intended to be used like described in the OP. I never bothered to check the veracity of the claims because I figured if Newsweek reported on it then the source would have been slightly more vetted than a reddit post.
Welp. Lesson learned.
Sure, sorry I realise by using that word I may have falsely given the impression that this was a vindictive thing or something; I just meant that after the fourth kill you're not gaining any honor for 24 hours. Sometimes like you say, that doesn't matter because the "battle" is ongoing and you have to kill people to kill other people, and sod how many times it's happened. But when you're that level 48 in Tanaris and the lvl 60 rogue has killed you out in the desert for the 6th time in a row, he can't claim he's doing it to farm honor anymore :P

I mean, in defense of that line of arguing, I'll defend corpsecampers and gankers (it's a free world) but I don't do it myself because I'm not sure I could live with the shame of losing vs someone ten levels lower than me which is what would inevitably happen :P
Well, we all have our vices.
Some love to take others on in a gladiatorial arena and prove their might.
Others like to murder rabbits with shotguns.

Obstructing somebody's ability to play in a meaningful way for the sheer purpose of ruining their gameplay (actual camping) is pretty sad. You're free to do it, but as I said before, not many are going to sympathize with you if you do indeed end up getting slapped with a dishonorable kill.
Which you won't in this situation because the yeti thing never worked, but you get my point.
