Yes, it can be used as a gun. But that's not the point. The point is that it's a square box, and not remotely (pun semi intended) like a gun. Personally, I like the Time Crisis series in the arcades because you have a realistic pistol in your hands. It's different than having a square box in your hand that you're aiming like a gun.
What I'm trying to say is that yes, the controller can be aimed like a gun already, but I still believe a gun add on would be viable, just to add realism and feel to the game.
I do deal, which is why I haven't quit yet. If I get frustrated, I play my lower level toons who aren't in contested yet.
I'd agree with your inn idea if dishonor mattered. As it stands now, it doesn't do shit. You can have 5 million dishonorable kills and still be rank 14.
As for the n00bs... They're already everywhere. See how many naked male night elves are dancing with those naked male humans at every auction house? Yeah, that's right.

Not true on a PvP server. If you are under level 60, and you wish to level, you will be forced to PvP.
Yes, you can use the argument "That's what a PvP server is, dumbass." However, when there are gank squads of 5 people of level 60 patroling a zone of low 50's just in the name of honor points, something is wrong.
And yes, I could also re-roll on a non-PvP server. But with 16+ days of play time, I don't see that being an option. It would be nice of Blizzard to offer character transfers from PvP to PvE realms.
Basically, the honor system, for the uneducated, is a system in which rewards people for partaking in PvP (or player vs player) combat. If you kill someone within a certain number of levels you get points, and you are statistically ranked against everyone else on the server once a week.
The problem, mind you, is mainly on PvP (player vs player) servers, and not PvE (player vs environment) servers. On a PvP server, when you are in a higher end zone, you are flagged as PvP-able; in other words, anyone can kill you if they want. On PvE servers, you must specifically enable PvE to be killed.
Now, the highest level in the game is level 60. When you are level 60, you can receive honor points for killing someone 12 levels below you. SO, you can get honor off of someone who is 48. At 48, simply put, you don't have a chance in hell of killing a level 60. It might have happened, but 99.999999% of the time it's not going to. THAT is the problem. If you are level 60, you are fine. If you are between that magic number of 48 where you can give honor to level 60s by dying to them, you are not fine. People have also resorted to roming groups of level 60's who kill lower levels till they can call out the higher levels.
Also, there are mass zerg raids happening on all servers. Zerg raids refer to many many many people killing a whole city of NPC's and, on a PvP server, PC's. Things can't get done, people's progress is stopped, people cancel accounts.
Now, I haven't canceled yet, and I'm 54. I personally enjoy it and know it will calm down eventually. Until then, I'm going to keep going with my account.

I kid you not! Mrs. Boring was my high school chemistry teacher. She started my senior year (I graduated in 2001). She made Advanced Chem. fun!
Oh, and her husband offered to help me find a job... No go, but he did try when I got out of college.

Obviously, step 5 is mount the super fricken' laser on a giant shark's head.
And why would it be secure?
Because they'd have to take your fingers to get it.
Everyone! Quick! Put on your tin foil gloves so they can't read your fingernails!
I believe this is the one you where thinking of.
