Ironic

[Ualaa]

I'm doing my four quests in Grizzly Hills, three of which flag your toons PvP.
So I am fair game.

But still, six minutes a day for a team.
At 73rd when they can take the quests, this is 15% of a level.
Even at 77th, this is still 8% of a level, so 12-13 days to level up.

Relatively painless leveling, through WotLK content which includes a massive amount of utterly ****ty collection quests.

My last team is currently here, because it is easy leveling and I didn't really enjoy the leveling process through WotLK content.



I encounter a solo 73rd goblin hunter who is flagged.
My guys are 77th, also hunters and there are five of me.
I let the guy go without killing him.
It won't be a fair fight, no challenge.

Less than a minute later.
A level 85 hunter slaughters my entire team.
He's got more than twice the health of my team combined.
And literally two shots the entire team.
I managed a quarter of his health.



Not complaining that I died, because they are PvP quests.

It's just ironic.

As a boxer, we can easily slaughter someone four levels below us, with our five toons.
But show restraint, because there's no challenge or reason to...

And despite not doing this, less than two minutes later an individual player with a far greater disparity in relative power kills the team off.



It reinforces my opinion.
The majority of the horde are assholes.
It even says so on page 473 of my Alliance propoganda guide.

I guess I'll go back to, if it is red it is dead.
And not give a **** if I'm 45 levels higher.

Want to bet it was the same guy?

That is the thing with Blizzard, the game has such HUGE disparity between levels and gear types. Literally 1 level 85 could kill probably an infinite amount of level 80s. The disparity between levels and even gear types is so massive that it just doesn't make sense to enjoy the game at level 80 because you are pretty much forced to race to 85.

One thing I liked about Everquest, much more so then Warcraft...

The current expansion, the previous expansion and the one before that are all challenging content, and best in slot for every class is comprised of gear from each of those three expansions.

That said, there is something to be said for a complete gear reset with each expansion. Everyone starts off on an even footing with everyone else. And it isn't a two to three expansion process to go from a starting toon to one of the best equipped members of your class across the entire server.



That's the second time I've had a much higher player, whom I have not had a chance against, go after much lower toons.

The game is called World of Warcraft, not Carebearville.

So maybe I should make it a policy to always kill flagged opponents on site; they're doing the same and the game is basically two factions at war.

Just the other day, I was collecting ore in STV, now Blackrock is a PVP server, so better watch your back, but its unfair when you come across a level 85 hunter (who was alliance) and oneshots your whole team! I have found that it doesn't matter what faction they player is on, bottom line, people are ass holes, and get pleasure killing someone who has do defence against you cause you have better gear. I made a post where I think that low level toons should have some sort of protection against higher level toons that could come one shot you, never heard any response of that topic since I made the post, but whats the point in killing a low level toon even in a PVP server, let alone a PVP quest such as hellfire, grizzly hills, etc... Just unfair and gets in the way of people having fun in the game. At least for the one getting oneshotted.

Page 473 of the Alliance Propoganda Book clearly states that horde will gank lower level alliance whenever they can, but that alliance only ever kill the horde in self defense...

Drak, I played on a PvP server on my main, albeit just one-boxing a rogue. From time-to-time I did have people try to gank me. I say try because of blind + sprint + vanish = LAWLS YOU CAN'T FIND ME. And then I laugh when the hunter tries to flare a random area hoping to find me XD.

Plus, STV = Gankelthorn Vale. That area is a hot place to gank, at least on Korgath where I played. Best to play during "off" hours if you're going there

[Drarkan]

Yeah, I just looked up best zones to level mining, and it was either STV or Hillsbard Foothills, after getting ganked in STV, I went to Hillsbard and didn't have any problems, let alone "see" an alliance player, and I got my mining all above 120 on my guys which took a little while. One good escape route would be to jump into a dungeon after doing spirit rez, so you can hearth safely :P

low level toons have protection, in the starting zones.
For a level 85 it doesn't matter if the other toon is 10 ot 80 anyway, so unless you extend that protection to all zones up to Northrend, it won't help... and that would transform your pvp server in a pve server..

You roll on pvp server, you get ganked. it's how it works. And it was already like that in Vanilla

[Ualaa]

Pretty much that is the way it is.
world of WARcraft...
