Grouping should be disabled for "free for all" PvP world quests

There are several PvP world quests that are supposed to be free for all PvP where you can even attack other players of your own faction. These would be fun, but the fact that you can group up with others completely ruin the enjoyment.

It’s not a free for all if you can’t attack anyone without incurring the immediate wrath of four other players who will come down on you like a hammer. The result is that you need a group to be able to do it at all. Instead of a free for all we at best have a 5 vs 5 fight. Or more usually a 5 vs 1 fight. It's not treated in game as a group quest, but it just became one by default anyway. And in that case then it should be marked as a group quest and treated as such by the game.

If you’re going to allow groups, you might as well just disable intra faction fighting and just keep it horde vs alliance. That way the people who are trying to do it without a group will at least have some semblance of a chance.

If people can group up, it’s not a free for all, is it?

And while we are at it, there needs to be consequences from attacking other players inside quest hubs. This is supposed to be a joint effort expedition between Horde and Alliance. So why does the Dragonscale Expedition just stand idly by as players are being ambushed and slaughtered in their basecamp? Maruukai is supposed to be a peaceful place (which is why the Nokhud attack was seen as such a crime), so why would the Maruuk allow Horde and Alliance to violate the truce? Have the guards join in and attack the offending player or at least give them a long stun as a punishment.
