I don't really pvp so you don't need to worry about me "ruining" bgs but it is crazy reading people complain about not playing to maximize honour. God forbid it play out like a battleground

It isn’t pvping though, it is ignoring the pvp maps objectives because it is better for you personally if your teammates do that instead.

It would be like not defending a base in AB or ignoring flags in WSG.

It may deter from the objective, but engaging other players is the definition of pvp. While the objective is required to maximize honor, it is not pvp.

AV is not a PvP battleground. I'll die on that hill. Not one of the objectives requires you to even see a player from the opposing faction, and you can do so without "artificial" game play. I could see the same being said of WSG if you strain the meaning a bit: both sides simply run to the flag and run back, getting minimal honor in minimal time played for the winning faction. AB requires PvP interaction, unless there's some unspoken or explicit agreement that each side gets two caps and leave the BS alone, or something (which is artificial, at best).
