Why is it called Honor?

World PvP, battlegrounds, and even duels, I’ve seen em all and there’s no honor there. It’s more like a do anything to win no matter how shady or underhanded it is. The whole entire PvP system is based off of pure greed and sadism.
It’s bad enough that they have entire realms and servers dedicated to this indecent behavior, but even on PvE realms/servers it’s a pervasive issue. Actually, it’s worse on PvE realms because those players obviously can’t compete with the “real” PvPers.
Then there is the settings of these contests. AV gives players the opportunity to gain “honor” even if they completely avoid fighting other players. It’s basically PvE raiding with PvP rewards, that aren’t even earned but just given away. That won’t stop any bragging or complaining. It just is what it is, broken.

If you roll a toon on my server I will give you a hug and tell you that everything will be okay.

Well said. It’s almost as if they used the term “honor” ironically. Just look at how honorable it was in the first few weeks of p2.

Roleplay? Keep forgetting this game is an R P G. Killing the opposite faction regardless of fairness is Honor. Your definition of honor is based of your own social construct rules that you have in your imagination and nothing to do with the game. It is indeed honor if you look at it as an RPG element.

Mainstream audience. This is why private servers are a better option.

Same reason Orcs claim “honor” while they brutally massacre innocent people. It’s why the Scourge (i.e. Forsaken) fit so well in the Horde.

Do you RP or care about the story? No? Then don’t worry about it.

Lol I don’t even know how to respond to that.
I rolled a rogue for a reason, none of them were for honorable actions and behavior by any definition of the word. Maybe it’s just the society I live in that makes me feel that way. Lol

so that people can feel good about being good at a game that requires more time then skill.

what? the forsaken are literally not the scourge.

You’re applying the term to you, the person. Honor is RP - it’s honor for your character and their faction in killing the other faction. It seems honorable to me that if you kill your enemy and they keep coming back to life somehow, you would want to make sure they stay dead as best you can.

omg. Could you be more overwrought? Using words like “sadism, greed, shady, indecent behaviour” the way you have cheapens their meanings.

Not even certain what’s triggered you, sunshine.

Umm excuse me but The forsaken are not the scourge we were freed from the Arthas rule and the scourge buy the benevolent Sylvanas Windrunner…Get your facts straight.

Most of them ignore this fact. they like to act like no alliance would ever do such things.

Because it was created 15 years ago and was supposed to be fun, not thought of for a game 15 years in the future when sweaty neckbeards broke the game down to the core and studied it from end to end just so you can come here and cry about it.
