I’m pretty sure it is, but personally that’s why there’s so many people not playing that because of a simple thing such as 1 honorable kill granting 1 honor point, I might be wrong, it just seems to give me the impression that’s the case.
Standing in Blacksmith, defending the flag will 100% give you more honor points for someone’s death located at LM, GM, Stables, or Farm, you don’t even have to be in the fight, and you still get credit for someone’s killing blow.
Fully understand where you coming from, but that doesn’t change the fact that people prefer to get every chunk of honor as possible from any source, from killing, doing objectives, and winning / losing.
Even leechers get credited for doing absolutely nothing.
