If you do not engage in any PVP combat in 5 minutes, you can’t get any honor/bonus honor. So this make it so you can’t just hit a button and not be afk. Make them actually engage in combat. Force people to pvp. Give them a debuff for not engaging in combat for 5 minutes regardless.
What about legit people who are defending and no one shows up? It never hurts to have a little defence just in case someone trys to ninja cap something.

How about if you don’t engage in PvP in 5 minutes you get a 2 hour ban, escalating?
Too many exceptions. For instance I often stealth south to sloooooowly kill commanders and Lts. Depending on what sort of defense I encounter I may lie in wait for more than 10 mins for the area to clear to engage. Another would be the folks out gathering rams or hides who are purposely avoiding pvp to collect the quest turn-ins.

Or you scrap the ranking system and now bgs are populated only by players who plan to play the game.

I’d be more inclined to limit the AOE size that gives honor or figure some way that only folks with a hand in the fight (hit or heal) reap the benefit of that kill but that would probably be a nightmare to code properly.
i’d take the penalty of not being able to have people like you every once in a long while but also not have the 5-7 high rank leechers in every game.
Create premade only bgs
This will draw all the tryhards out of premades and back into PuGs because they want maximum honor, not pvp
how about we add all the npc’s back?

This might just increase the number of HK leeches who are moving with the group and therefore get in combat more often.

One fix is for more PvP minded folks to reroll Alliance. All it takes is time. If you’re not rerolling you’re part of the problem. I get you may think Horde have prettier pixels, or better lore. Maybe PvP is not for you then.
Another fix is for Blizzard to be more active at moderating their own game. I cannot understand how they can fail so hard at this. It’s like they don’t care at all.

The ranking system isnt as bad as the Rep system. There are a ton of people who only do AV for the exaulted rep rewards.
It’s hard enough to get people to defend as it is. The OPs suggestion would guarantee no one ever defends again.

How about we don’t try and make anyone do anything I have always hated the fact they ban afk players if they are not doing what people want them too. It’s a slippery slope and no ones entitled to make someone else play a certain way. If it’s wsg and it’s a bunch of twinks are they entitled to farm a bunch of noobs? Are the guys farming them not doing it right since they are supposed to be capping? Ban? While I understand people being frustrated when they constantly lose I wonder if they realize what they are really lobbying for when they ask for things like this. You are lobbying to be arbitrarily banned for Not playing the game the way others think you should. /endrant

Its not our fault blizzard made a bg a pve event.
There are activities in the BG that do not involve/require PVP, but are valuable tools to push the ball down the field.

Suggestions like this are why I am glad the community doesn’t vote on game design decisions. So many community suggestions have tremendous potential for collateral damage with the potential to hurt legitimate players far more than the intended targets. Meanwhile, the people that abuse the system just modify their behavior and adapt to the new constraints and just keep on abusing the system.
No thank you.

Well that's just stupid. Are you really equating AFking in a tunnel to people playing how they want?

I am constantly amazed that there are individuals who actually believe such things.
