Honour killing...

Ok i've really been starting to get a little pissed off at people lately in BGs... I see people going for kills more than playing the objective or even just AFKing in BGs so they can so called "honour farm." The thing I see wrong with this is that people try to do these things more because they think it will get them more honour... Which is completely wrong! So it ends up getting me pissed off because people don't know how to play this game apparently...
The worst thing is that most people I find in BGs really DON'T know how to play they can be geared to hell but not know anything about defending an objective point or going for a flag or calling out incs (but its mostly about defending an objective.) They think "Oh i'm just going to farm kills because thats going to get me more honour in the end." Um yea no... People really need to learn that going for the objective or playing the game type properly and winning gets you more honour not just killing/healing. I find thats the problem on both horde and alliance at any level... You can sometimes find people that know how to play but your mostly going to find "scrubs" who don't.
People just really need to learn how to defend an objective and how to call out incs or learn to play BGs so they know how to do something and teach other people about something like (what i mostly find) SLOW AND DESTROY sieges in strand. I'm mostly finding that people wanna go for kills instead of actually killing the sieges which is what they are supposed to do to extend their time if they are defending first or making a quick win if your attacking so you have the shortest time to defend and hopefully get the win out of it... But I guess people don't want to win and get more honour, instead they like losing all the time because no one understands how to play...
HUGE RANT BUT ITS TRUE!

I have just recently begain playing BG's at LV 65 i had absolutly no idea what to do. I began joining in random bg's and still after about 7-9 matches i still dont really know what to do cause i have yet to play the same BG. But i think the most discurraging thing that happens to me is when i as a question, simple or compliated.. i get the same respons from what i gather to be seasoned BG'ers. "DUDE.... REPORTED"..... for what exactly? or "KILL OR STFU" huh. People suck because the communtiy sucks. I'm in no way saying every skilled player is a douch, but i am saying people suck because they cant get any constructive critism.

I'm sorry but I disagree.
Your bg are mostly divided between. Capture the Flag or Defending a key spot. It doesn't take long to figure that out. The things that are in capped letters are prime examples of you being trolled. Same thing happens in trade chat most of the time.
Biggest plague in Bg are your bots or afk people.

V. unfortunate thread title...
But yeah, what Ceer said, I think most people by now are aware that winning = more honour than farming kills but there're still plenty of reason why they might concentrate on other things than BG objectives. Such as chasing achievements, seeking out specific enemy classes to practice on, etc.
More usual, I think, is that people see things not immediately going their team's way, figure they're going to lose and just start fighting enemy players to build their HKs and 'cos it's more fun.
Everyone has their own threshold for this (2 caps down with < 1 min on the clock in WSG, for example), maybe yours is higher than most. Either way, the answer is Rated BGs or Arena.
fourdeeounce: I feel for you. My first ever EOTS match I grabbed the flag and stood there like a t**t wondering where the hell I should take it. After that I quickly read up on the other BGs I hadn't been in yet.

Don`t take this the wrong way
But you should`ve started alot ealier than 65 where you could`ve had asked questions and not get that type of behavior, because to some people hearing a question on how to play any battleground at that level (espeically now with them being available at lower levels) is annoying and irksome to some if not most.
i played a few BG's at lower lvls and i found that the people at 19, 29 and so on were geared to the teeth. back then i asked questions and got NO answer. Seemed like lower lvl bg's had more selfish players and most had no intention of REALLY winning, but only had eyes to maximize HK's.
