No Horde happen to be flagged because of the 5min timer. By the time they end up in Ratchet from a zone that has forced PvP Flag on the 5min timer falls off. Horde must choose to actually be flagged by engaging in ganking low level players in Ratchet or killing 40s as they land. This is the only time a Horde is flagged in Ratchet. Like I said, no one is putting together a Boomie squad on Alliance to camp Horde since there are no Horde to camp.
Ratchet killing people can literally be scripted out. You can just make a cast sequence macro to target people next to the FP and stun then kill them with one button. Itās extremely efficient to farm Rank 5 in PvP.
Iām pretty sure you can even set a distance conditional in the macro to make sure you donāt hit someone who runs away and too close to a guard.
The reasons I see it though are much different than the reasons you see it. Itās an exploitive honor farm (especially if they are sitting on the illegal roof) method for Horde.
Believe me, some Horde will sit there for about 6-7 hours straight on some layers farming full Rank 5 from solo kills.
This definitely isnāt new and doesnāt need to be corrected. I always dreaded going to Rachet as an Alliance for this reason. But, as Iāve said⦠it has literally always been this way.
Just call in a couple of friends of equal level, as soon as thereās an actual fight to be had horde scatters out of ratchet faster than a roach coach taco through a vegan gut.
