There's no benefit to killing the zombies.
Rewards =/= fun.
I'm gonna agree with atromar here, he didn't say "fun", he said "benefits".
There's no incentives to fight zombies. There's no incentives to not become infected. The one lowbie quest doesn't even offer any Argent Dawn rep. There's no bounties on the heads of zombie players.
The only incentive currently in place is to turn into a zombie so you can go out and start griefing your own side.

I had always hoped for such strong realism in a game where the world was large enough to simulate a real worlds size.
Before WoW, i hoped for a single player game that was populated by awesome AI npc's and persistance after exiting the game session.
Now that the blizzard have introduced this world event, with a realistic impact on how you handle it...it cause dismay in me that many would rather return to the same thing they been doing the last year and a half.
But i guess if we were to be set upon by a real undead/zombie plague (The Walking Dead, 28days later, Shaun of the Dead etc), we would always have a sizable portion of the 'non-zombified' population rocking themselves to sleep in some corner wishing for better times.
2.5 kids, a picket fence, a job & a mortage... the dream of every citizen of mediocracy

I don't know, I feel for the lower lvl people and the people trying to quest. But I am enjoying the hell outta this event. I myself am only 68 and would like to get to 70 but the NPCs are usually dead so I cant get/turn in quets. But I do love the uncertainty of going into a town not knowing when/if you will be attacked or if there are others in the city that will stand with you. I look at it as a fantasy version of living in a Land of the Dead, senario living out away from the towns due to infestation or sneaking in for supplies and quests/info. I just have fun with it.
Then again I am able to defend myself to some degree being so high lvl. I know how much it sucks for lower lvl people because I was trying to lvl my 10mage when this all started to get really bad (when the cooldown went from 10min to 1min). Now there are not only roaches but rats flood from the stocks in SW and I'm sure there is something similiar in Org.
My strategy is to stay in a group pref with someone who can cure diseases and try to quest like that. It may be slower but at least you can better defend like that.
The point they are driving into us is stand together or fall apart. Grab some guildes or anyone who isn't dead and work like that.

The fact that sanctuaries are still sanctuaries for zombie players irritates me hugely. If I could kill the gits who wander around Shattrath building zombie armies, along with their armies, I'd be fine with it.This.
And I see that my earlier assertion—that most of the whining, QQing, et cetera is coming from the, shall we say, "Scourge sympathizers"—still holds true.

From what ive been reading about, and info from sources. I think that this is going to get worse, until the point where the cure is finally achieved and the scourge are contained to a certain are. Which i predict to happen with 1-1 1/2 weeks of WotLK's release.
Now for those who complain about towns being over run by infection and zombies. Here is a, some-what, accurate explaination for why this is happening. (please don't flame me, im just giving my opinion on what i
think
is the reasoning behind this)
For the past years while we just played the game as we normally did, the Lick King was planning an invasion of all of azeroth and outlands. The reasoning for this is that he is attempting to take over all the land he possibly can. If you recall, the Lick King refered to himself as "The One True King." This is what I think is the reasoning behind all this. To accomplish this he sent the citidels and the infection to begin to overtake the land.
Eventually, if the cure is accomplished, the infection part of this event will either be contained to a certain area, or wiped out completely. But then you still have the citidels hovering above the cities. Which by the way are incompanied by Death Knights and others under the leadership of the Lick King.
So who knows whats going to happen, where just gunna have to wait and see what unfolds.

Or some of us will just log out more often and let this thing pass.. instead of leveling to 70 before the expac.
While that is true for some people, I still can't see how all this can be that much of a burden on someone. Yes being turned into a zombie while your in the AH is a bit of an annoience, or coming back from being afk and seeing your dead body, might be annoying. But honestly, I view this whole "invasion" as a very interesting and enjoyable event. Maybe im just saying that because Im 70 and the zombies dont really worry me much. But if the zombies are bothering you to the point where you feel like pulling your hair out, then either move to a less zombie infested are and quest/grind or get a group together and kill as many as possible.
As you could see from the 2nd post above mine, even though the plague has ended, the scourge is still here, and more events will be happening.
You have to remember that the Lich King is not goin to let up until he gets what he wants. And his main focus is taking over azeroth and outland.

I like killing gold spamers or those get this addon it makes you fly or those guys. I hope they make more of these types of events. But for those that QQ so much make it so we can't kill the quest givers or the ah dudes or the BG guys also give them like a trinket that takes them out of the ability to be killed then we are all good kill those who don't care can't be killed by those who doesn't care.
