Ok, this is the first guide i've created, i've played a lot of games with honor farmers, i've got my weekly standing to 2 before, so i know what to do, I'm kind of going to give a beginner's guide to leader an honor train... A lot of people are going to say that playing AV gets you more honor than farming, this is somewhat right, the only time this is right is on an AV weekend, besides that, honor farming will get you more honor. So i'm going to start off with explaining what honor farming is.

HONOR FARMING EXPLANATION
Honor Farming is getting a group of people (otherwise known as premade), and deciding who is best for what in BGs (like in WSG, ms warriors are usually better for defense and druids are usually better for flag carrier, and in ab rogues are good node guarders, (farm for horde, stables for ally)), in most BGs, you win in very little time, usually less than 10 min. Honor farming is completely legal, its not against the rules or anything like getting on top of the tower in EPL or anything like that. It is best to farm a BG on its weekend, I.E. DON'T BE FARMING AN AB ON A WSG WEEKEND. It is best to be on Ventrillo or Team Speak so you don't have to type stuff out in the middle of a fight.

The two BGs that you will be farming are Warsong Gulch (WSG) and Arathi Basin (AB). WSG is a Game of CAPTURE THE FLAG (CTF) where your flag needs to be home to score. First to 3 Caps wins the game. 10 players on a team. AB is sort of like Territories if you have played halo 2, you just try to control the nodes and get as much minerals as possible, you want to hold them as long as possible. First to 2000 minerals wins. 15 players on a team.

WSG GUIDE
For WSG farming you are going to want a druid for flag carrier, Warriors, Healers, and any other classes... those are the classes NEEDED for a group to work out, but of course you are going to need some more. The group makes a difference, but it doesn't make as much as a difference as leadership and organization.

When you join WSG, join asap so the leader can sort out the groups, and give the leader the battle ground leader if you have it and someone else is supposed to be leader. The leader organizes 2 groups, offense and defense, there are 2 different types of basic defenses used.

1. Against PUGs (Pick Up Groups) you want group 1 offense and group 2 Midfield defense, what this means is Group 2 goes in the middle of the field and tries to stop their offense completely, shamans with windfury and warriors and a good way to do this, the perfect thing to do in midfield defense is to push into their GY (Graveyard) and camp their gy while healers heal them, it makes it really hard for them to even get out of their gy. During this time, the offense runs into the Opponents Flag Room (FR) and grabs their flag and tries to get it back to their base as fast as possible, this is why druids are the best, TRAVEL FORM! If you get hit by a hamstring or any ability like it, Slower Running Speed, Switch back to caster form, then to travel form to get rid of it. Just try to do this as fast as possible. Against PUGs, you will usually win 3-0.

2. Against Premades (other honor Farmers) you are going to want Group 1 Offense and Group 2 Flag Room (FR) Defense. Against Premades they are most likely going to be using this same strategy, Most Chances are that they will get the flag, unless your defense is Superior. There are ways to slow them down I.E. Mages Cast Frost Nova and Hunters use The Trap that slows Everyone down, at the flag spot (i think its frost trap). Rogues can also use Sap on people. Its probably going to be both flag carriers sitting in their bases with the opponents flag, just send enough people to go and get the flag (KILL HEALERS FIRST) A lot of the times in Premades Vs. Premades the winner will be whoever has the better gear. But Sometimes the better leader can win.

This Basically Sums up what to do in WSG, You can do other stuff but this seems to work good until you find out how good your group is and who is good and Geared and what he is best for. Remember this is my first Guide

Nice guide, can't wait for the AB guide. My understanding for AB that alliance should try for BS LM and stables in a pug...not really sure about horde since when I played horde I didn't BG much.
