Yeah?
If you 5 cap and deny the other faction honor, that is just playing the game.
If you 3-0 cap WSG and deny the other faction honor, that is just playing the game.
If you clean sweep AV and don’t let people cap Towers so you get more bonus honor at the end, that is just playing the game.
Scortched earth is a bs term made up by cry babies who think you’re not playing the game its supposed to be played. Its even worse when you cry that one faction does it, but when yours does it, its totally not “sCoRtChEd EaRtH” its totally different.
Let’s play devil’s advocate here.
If horde were to just LET alliance cap every tower in the 99% win era, let them kill all the LT’s, get all the bonus honor in the world… why stop there.
Why not just win trade or hell, do what is a bannable offense and just line up 60 people deep and let them kill each other solo 10 times for maximum honor boosting.
Letting the other faction get any victory in a BG or arena is against the spirit of the game. Alliance and Horde are enemies, kill or be killed (if you’re on a pvp server).
If horde is getting destroyed in AV, then great. Those players probably deserve to lose by being worse at pvp in vanilla WoW. The only sketchy thing I will comment on is that alliance need to work around the limitations blizzard put in on premades. But that isn’t really bothering me. What was bothering me was all the pvp’ers on alliance quit to let the dregs and afk’s linger driving queue times up to over 2h in recent times. Its not my fault the alliance are bad at large scale unorganized pvp but yet I was being directly punished.
On that note, I hope more alliance do this and join the AV queue. As long as my queue times are low, I couldn’t care less. In these premade alliance games, I’m still getting honor because horde are still getting by to kill Lt’s and cap the occasional tower and I’m still getting kills on my 59 shaman spamming CL into crowds.
