People are going to get the trinket regardless. Rank 1 is really easy to attain, I guesstimate 15 - 50 honorable kills.
I think it's 15 (although the game tells it's 25, I think) + wait until the next Wednesday. That's not a reason to give the trinkets away. People ought to go to battlegrounds and fight there instead of playing like if it's Solitaire while doing anything else.
Why would you discourage PVP if you enjoy playing on a PVP server?
I don't discourage, I do enjoy.
hey man, i wanna keep it blizzlike
i enjoy walking to major cities to queue
Definitely. More than that, I would even force people to go to battleground portals.
that is where the pop is at so i have to play here
A lot of T3-geared come lately. And PvE guys will still PvE, no matter if they're in a raid, battleground or world. I wouldn't call that PvP. We should monitar AV to see if those geared guys will still rush to the boss instead of fighting and doing objectives.
i play a class that has a higher pvp skillcap, and i don't wanna play a hunter
Well, D2 prot-holy paladin here. Never said I was good, but I can kill some undergeared players, and I can do a well-timed blessing or a cleanse or be somewhere you wouldn't expect, like an unguarded farm in Arathi or rushing into flag room at Warsong with no support or gear against several enemies (and with couple of potions, probably successful), or retrieving a checkpoint in Alterac nobody bothers to go to.
people are going to abuse XYZ or ABC
They always will, they're humans.
