    Unless it a PvP Server & The Horde are doing a World Boss than it is fine I would say. Remember the Nightmare Dragons, if you were on a PvP server you have a group of Bodyguards sometimes & switch off players to kill the enemy players than back on the dragon if successful.

    I'm still convinced that whoever came up with the idea of cross-realms must be genuinely challenged.

    Griefing isn't pvp. It used to be in Vanilla, when there were only 3 BGs and long queues. But now you have arenas etc, so there is no point to "world pvp".

    I think it's weird that folks in PvP gear are the easiest ones to kill.

    sometimes its funny when you gank some group or help ganked players of your faction.

    over 3+vs3+ world pvp is rly cool

    It's the reason I play Warcraft. It's a world of brutality and vengeance. The little guy that gets ganked will grow into a vengeful, spiteful PVPer, and the cycle continues.

    As it should.

    World pvp has always been reserved for jerks and those who are trying to become even bigger jerks. I've ganked someone once in my wow life, and that was in january 2005. That poor tauren shaman never saw me coming. I just don't see wtf is the point of some lvl90 going around killing lowbies, unless they are trying to recover from some real life trauma. Even if the ganker isn't higher level (they usually are), the ganker always has an unfair advantage.

    And I play this game for arenas. World pvp is for d-bags unless you are raiding a main city.

    I loved world PvP, I think that was my fondest memory of WoW. But in my opinion, Blizzard created a divide between PvP and PvE that is now too large. Most players are one or the other, so in world PvP, regardless of your gear, you're facing somebody that's not good at PvP, or is very competitive and geared specifically for it.

    Plus, there's just no benefit to world PvP anymore. With queues netting you 200x the honor gain, and conquest points being exclusive to them.

    And then there's the inflation of skills in WoW, mainly CC.

    Just me though. Think I've been softened by several years of PvE so my opinion may not be worth much.

    The point of world PvP is that it's unplanned and unexpected. There's not nearly as much thrill in queuing for BGs or arena as there is in having improvised encounters out in the world, regardless of what level they are. I'm a nice guy, I'm intelligent, and I'm good at the game, so all the general excuses people come up with don't apply at all. They're just that, excuses. World PvP is awesome, and if someone can't handle it, they shouldn't be on a PvP server.

    On the contrary, I'd say people who play a war game and choose to be on a server where it's possible to attack enemy players, then complain about it when it happens, are the ones that are slow in the head.

    Why am I not surprised? Let me guess, you're the kind of person whose first instinct upon seeing a PVP post s/he doesn't agree with, goes and inspects the poster's Arena rating. Typical. Arena player who can't handle world PVP because it's not perfectly tailored around your 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 needs.

    P.S: One of the first ever WoW trailers (way back from beta) featured players fighting in Westfall and Goldshire in...you guessed it...world PVP. Congratulations on calling the original core WoW playerbase and WoW developers douche bags.

    Ganking/WPvP/whateveryouwannacallit, is the part of the game I hate the most. (Except gnomes.)
    I avoid it as much as possible but if someone attacks me I tend to fight back.


    The only expection is gnomes. I always kill gnomes.

    Oh a "pvp server deal with it" response ofcourse, how am I not surprised thats your only retort when I question people who
    attack other players for no reason and kills lowbie questgivers hours on hours on end with their /spit /rude emotes macroed to every ability.

    PvP =/= Being a oxymoron douchebag to every player around you "just because".
    If thats the behaviour you endorse, then I think as the poster above me you're better off with CoD or similar.

    PvP servers were designed specifically for that in mind. You can whine all you want, it's a fact. And it's not for "no reason." It's a multiplayer game, and they're my enemies in said game. To be fair though, I'll agree emote spammers are annoying.

    Yes, it's an MMO...with two enemy factions, and server types built for people who want to fight players of the enemy faction. It's not being an antisocial jerk to kill your enemies (which you can't talk to anyway) in a multiplayer game.

    World PvP quickly became a joke when PvE gear greatly eclipsed PvP gear for World PvP. Factor in the buffs from the timeless isle and any PvP geared player will be shit on by any 540+ PvE scrub. On my PvP geared ILvL 509 Resto Druid I was blown up by a 560 ILvL back-peddling Huntard with the island buffs in 5 seconds. That makes sense.

    I agree. I've had multiple perfectly good duels at the start of MoP where a lot of people were fighting eachother in the daily zones. Then some douche intervened and made me lose. Another thing that annoyed me was when one guy started attacking me after like 10-15 minutes of anticipating me, then all of a sudden everybody started attacking me.

    Nowadays I gank because I finally can. Having some decent PvE gear (530) I'm capable of killing A LOT of people in literally 5-8 seconds, and seeing as I'm a rogue, that's the duration of my CC chain. I've had a nice ganking spree in the tavern where wrathion is currently at in-game. No guards to help them and most people do not suspect a thing.

    One thing I find interesting is the kind of people who use the "Well if you don't like being ganked by a 90 for 2 hours, don't play on a PVP-server"-argument. I think the argument is silly because there's a certain line when something stops being PvP and becomes something far worse, and also because.. WHO in their right mind likes being ganked? I find it hard to believe there's people who ress up 8-9 times only to be oneshotted by the same 90-char again, and sitting there with a smile on their face and enjoying what's going on. So the whole "If you don't like it" just feels pretty stupid in that sense.

    It's also interesting with the people who follow the "if it's someone in the other faction, i will kill it"-logic. I buy it if you are the biggest roleplayer or just like to embrace your faction and kill everyone from the other faction because you can. However, unless you gank someone and then fly away on your mount like a coward (so in scenarios where you are actually doing things in-game where this other player is), that one "innocent" kill could easily turn into so much more. If you're doing daily quests or normal quests, or just farming mines/herbs in a zone, that initial kill can spark something that becomes a drawn out vengeance-party, where you get 0 shit done.

    A few months ago I was questing away in peace on a low level alt when a 90-char of the other faction killed me. No biggie, ressed up and continued with my stuff, but was killed by the same player again, and shortly after a third time. I relogged an alliance character to whisper the player, not to whine, because I just wanted to ask if it was really necessary. He gave me the "if you dont like world pvp.. blabla"-argument, and I was like "fine, if that's what you want". I relogged my main character (same level as his char) and went on to completely destroy him. I camped him for a solid 2 hours. Sometimes he tried to get away by ressing behind trees or waiting with ressing, but I was patient and kept killing him. Eventually he relogged to whisper to me, and he went on this rant how "it wasn't fair" and all this other shit.

    If you start creating shit like this, you really can't complain about the consequences imo. Also, it may sound like I'm some sociopath, but getting killed by other players in situations like this when it isn't fair, that just ticks me off. I can buy it if I steal a rare mob or herb/mine in front of someone, but ganking/random attacking and so on, I will pay back with the same thing.

    Its people like you that makes proper PvPers look bad with that attitude, yet you come to our environment (yes the e in pve is for environment) and complain that youre not beating us with your PvP (minigame for arenas and battlegrounds)gear. Do you realize how stupid that makes you sound? Just go back to the environment PvP is meant for (bgs, arenas) and win there instead.
