Note: This tips are from an Alliance players perspective. Even though I'm currently rolling AP Horde, All of my topics tend to carry an Alliance perspective because I've played Alliance for a little over 5 years. By no means do I intend on sounding Biased.
Farming happens in every bracket, and both factions do it, but here are some tips that can reduce it to a minimum. And by minimum I mean there's still going to be farming, as there is always going to be farming, but by acting responsibly as a community we can reduce the frequency that it occurs. It happens to me all the time, and my team does it all the time. Here are some tips.
That pretty much covers it. Simple isn't it? We have the unique opportunity to be the majority of a tight-knit bracket and tailor a way of playing the game that's enjoyable for everyone.
We can't control how other people play, we can only choose how we want to play; and remember, it starts with you. Please sticky, This topic can be beneficial for anyone who enjoys playing any bracket. Hope you enjoyed the read, and keep twinking!

-The first and most important tip. Recognizing Farming and it's source. How do I recognize farming?
First you have to understand what ISN'T farming.
Your team has the flag, your flag carrier is leaving their base and your flag carrier isn't past midfield. You have team mates at their graveyard. THIS IS NOT FARMING. You have to get your flag carrier safely across mid, this means blocking people on their way to attack your flag carrier. Even if you can't win, or your defenders are small in numbers. 1-2 players can give your flag carrier enough time to cross mid field.
Now if that's not farming, Than what is?
That about covers it. Other than that, there is no other logical reason to block the opposing factions spawn, unless you're doing it to gain an unfair advantage and mercilessly slay them for small amounts of honor that prove insignificant when you do the math of how much honor you would get from winning more games at a faster pace.
- If there's anything we know about agriculture, It's that farming requires seeds. Seeds? You ask?.
"Hey, don't cap, let's farm 'em"
Every time we faceroll the first two flag captures on either Faction, you'll immediately see this in Battleground Chat. It could happen after the first cap, the second cap, or even when they pick the third flag up in the Horde base. Point is, this is the first generic sign of farming. Here's where you can come in and take preventative message to stop the problem at it's roots.
If you've been in a BG with me, while my team is farming, you'll see that I repeatedly ask them to stop, and tell them it's trashy. 4 times out of 10 it works, however we can't control how people play. The idea is to take that initial remark in battleground chat, and instead of harassing the opposing team by letting inevitability take it's place, you can embarrass the initial player, and keep other players from participating because they don't want to be singled out.
- Not participating. Morally objecting in Battleground Chat.
This pretty much stands for it's self. If you openly object to it, and write meaningful objections into battleground chat, other people might join in, or refrain from doing it all together. Sit in midfield, this should give you enough room to run to hit a member of the opposing faction in case you get flagged for AFK, and just don't participate. As your team's numbers dwindle down, they'll res and give up, or the people remaining will run away from large spawns.
