If the horde were smart? They'd farm kills at the -entrance- to Dire Maul East for one very important reason:
Most of the farmers are to dumb to check their instance timers... so? After they've reset 5 times in an hour.. they'll try to get into the instance and be unable: They will run at the portal... and not get in.
You can murder them and laugh, and they're at your mercy for the next 10 - 20 minutes while periodically checking to see if they can get into the instance. All your kills will count for honor, nobody's farming is delayed, or hampered -- etc.
Yes. Some people will get into the instance: But the faster they GET to the instance.. the more likely they will lock themselves out by clearing to fast -- and since they will try to dive past you to 'safety' ... and not be able to get in? Profit.
If they get delayed, getting corpse-camped on their way TO the instance.. (While they have the 'honorless target' buff) they're more likely to be able to get into the instance on the other side.
If they kill someone with an honorless target buff (while they're zoning and for 12 or was it 15?) seconds afterwards... you get no honor, even though it says: "HK: Estimated Honor: ###".. calculations show it at the end of the day, and the end of the week.
And it's even worse, if the first kill you get on someone in a day is 'Honorless target'... since the second kill still counts as a second kill; even though the first kill doesn't count. (Reduced honor.)
It's Science.
Dude...
I often go to dire maul with 10 guildies just to gank alliance because they're in the enemy faction and im a barbarian who wants to pillage and slaughter. Our purpose is to delay and disrupt the enemy's faction actions and gain of power. I may get some honor, but i waste my rank on DHKs im rank 0. Its world pvp, you're red for me, i kill you. I remember we used to raid that chillwind camp and kill honorless targets constantly, then some horde ranker came complaining and whining, it was funny..
