I apologize for this, because it is mostly an angry rant, but I really wanted to get it off my chest.
So I came back to WoW to play with a friend. He is level 90, and don't have the money for insta-90, but I was able to make a DK. He is on Illidian, which is from what I understand overrun with Horde. I thought I would be fine since I was rolling Horde, but this was not the case.
I was leveling in Hellfire for about an hour before I just rage quit because every time I tried to do any questing I would get one-shot by (what I assume were) level 90s. Asked for help in general, and they assaulted Honor Hold, which helped for about 5 minutes, and the few people in my guild said they were busy.
The problem for me isn't World PvP in general, as when the two combatants are of similar level it's actual pretty fun. Hell I leveled on a PvP server when I played SWTOR, and even tonight I found an alliance player that was 62 and had fun fighting him, even if I lost. My problem is the fact that characters that can one-shot you are allowed to do so. It's why I mostly avoid PvP servers, and I don't functionally understand why Blizz thinks it's OK. Why not make it so that you can't attack characters who are 10 or so levels below you? I know that they think that the lowbies will call for help and it will create epic world PvP moments, but either one side dominates the other completely or people will just quit.
