Guards on 24/7, reactivated as soon as possible when you turn them off.

If you manage to kill someone before they leg it to the safe zones, they whisper you and tell you to fuck off.

Nice.

Serious PvPers don't engage in the 1 shot fest that is World PvP, my experiences with the underbelly have been confined to

"Oh I got 1 shot, what was that?"
"Oh look, 4 guardian druids and 6 blood DKs what fun"
"Heh, I wonder why that guy with 3.5m hp is only picking on guys with 1.4m hp "

[Frood]

The opposite is true for my realm. In my experience, there's a good mix between PvP and PvE in the Underbelly. I'm not a PvP guy myself, but the variation that the sudden absence of guards provides is welcomed! When I was farming for my hidden artifact appearance, the occasional player on player fight or even death helped anchor me to sanity.

Then they shouldn't have put actual content (read: recipes) in it.

Isn't the underbelly one big CRZ zone?

5 gold and you get a personal bodyguard that makes you immune to PvP. Now you can get your recipes without anyone killing you. Problem solved.

You really should read the chain of posts before posting, just saying. Makes you look a tad foolish.

OT: My server/CRZ doesn't have this issue; might be a CRZ to CRZ thing?

You need to be petitioning Blizzard to remove the PVE content from down there.

PVP wise all I see are those trying to gank the PVE'ers so if the PVE content DID move out of there they wouldn't have anything to do anyway. It's not like they'll go there for fair duels now is it?

[Flubby]

Don't seem to have this problem on my server, we just have groups of 3-5 in a group that go around and shit on any poor soul that gets caught in the headlights.

If you want to blame anyone for them turning gaurds on again asap blame it on all the hidden skins that drop down there. When I went to get them on my shaman and rogue I had no desire to pvp I just wanted to get my hidden skin and get out. No one wants to have to defend against other people while grinding the npcs down there for hidden skins.

[Novadragon]

A part of it might be people trying to farm the rares for the stupid hidden skins since they do not spawn when it's PVP and you can't loot the chests they spawn in when it IS pvp with a bodyguard. Sucks for all around.

Edit: Just looked at the post above me. Whoops.

For 5 minutes, and the buff is on the BG, not on you, so you don't see it, plus it seems to randomly disappear even before the 5 minutes are up. Not sure if they fixed that yet, haven't been down there since the D3 event.

Toughen up? People are able to apply security when the rot of the Underbelly becomes too active, thus making it safer for them. And if you cannot catch your target in time because they weren't there for PvP, then be more awake?

So, you say everyone in the sewer are like so? I mean, that is why people secure themselves, because they might not be able to do a single quest without being jumped by a group of hungering rats whom are trying to get an easy kill?

I love PvP, and I do like the Underbelly but I also do like that ýou can make it safer for yourself if you might just be there for a little shopping.

Actually, it is just meant to be a lawless zone, not a feasting table because one person has a quest there.

Nice that PvEers are forced into PvP? They selected a PvE realm to avoid PvP and being forced into unwanted PvP is something they can be annoyed about.

Besides, is this only happening on PvE? If so, why are you on a PvE realm rather than a PvP? If this is due CRZ matching PvP with PvE servers, then Blizzard really did mess up with their CRZ.

Well, to be honest, there is quite some PvE content down there as well, but people are just stupid if they don't get the guard for this exact reason.

Recipies, Artifact weapon skin(s), quests, those fishing items, pets...

Not sure if you noticed, but I wasn't replying to the OP. Am I not allowed to reply to other posters in the thread? As for the thread topic itself, well, the Underbelly is not a 'pure PvP' zone. It has both PvP and PvE mixed in, with the PvP being switched on-and-off by speaking to the guards. In my experience, in my server (PvE), few people go the Underbelly with the actual intention to PvP.

I mean, when I was in the Underbelly and the PvP switch is turned off, more than half of the UB's player population simply disappears, and some go hire a guard. And even if you didn't have a hired bodyguard, most of the time you still could traverse the Underbelly without being attacked.
