When I say honor… outside of the immersion of fantasy, we are talking about a game that is supposed to be competitive in which both sides have a relatively equal chance of winning the battleground at the start.
Exploitive behavior (like a well geared pre made group) that greatly reduces the % of one side winning before you even begin the fight defeats the entire purpose of taking the time to play it and even more so if you are playing for fun and escapism, which randoms should be. Being blitzed by a community led premade or even a small premade on Discord versus solo pugs… is not FAIR. But more importantly, it’s griefing. When the time a player waits in queue + time in bg + possible deserter debuff (another issue)… is wasted, you’re driving players away from the game and PvP in general.
