On a sidenote, any time I've ganked anyone, the same feelings/thoughts going through my head are exactly the same that goes into my head when I play Grand Theft Auto and mow down pedestrians. I rarely do it, though, (the ganking, I mean) and I pretty much won't kill anyone more than once because I remember that I'm probably just annoying someone. (Well, that, and to be honest it's kind of boring unless you're doing something with a group that's funny. Like way back in the day, a friend of mine would have a low level hunter pet, and he'd manually control it into a group of really low level players, to make them think it's just another enemy, and attacking it would flag them for PVP, then me and a friend would jump out from behind a rock and attack them. You can't even do anything like that anymore lol. Also, he called his pet Sarsspreader.)

Why is that fun? Seriously want to know and I'm not judging you for it.
it's the Thrill. How long does it take him to make an alt and whisper me? How does he react? Seriously, i had some of the best ingame conversations after ganking people, some went even on my friendlist ( and vice versa ). It's all about the reaction. The more they threaten me in reallife, the harder they will be ganked until there is no tomorrow. Accusing me of being a child? One more gank for you. Saying veeeery bad things about mother/wife/child. MORE ganking!
Simply the notion, even in this thread, that all PVP gankers are children. Well, since i've done ganking even before WoW it really becomes somewhat difficult being a child. I try hard, won't work though. And yes, i have a basement, my parents too. No one sitting in there. But seriously thought about it in the summer, so hot!
And if the people log on their mains and stomp me into the ground.. chapeaux! I deserved that, no harm done, it's a game.
Yes, it destroys someone's gaming experience in this moment. I am the reason, but i am not at fault. Because i am not responsible if the people choose the wrong server. The gaming experience is destroyed because of wrong expectations.
It is not the cars fault, if you buy one you can't handle and have an accident. It is not the fault of David Hasselhoff wenn your feet actually get wet when stepping into the sea. "YOU" chose to.
You came here to support the OP's complains about WPvP when you don't even play WoW anymore, what a loser dweeb.
Seems like they're successful imo. Seeing how you're making threads here whining about them. That's the entire point of ganking, to grief players and get your jolly's off thinking about how much you're pissing them off. Glad to see ganking still works.
Why be on a pvp server if you hate being killed in the open world? If its really that bad for you just make some friends on a pve server and shard over to do dailies.
I PLAY ON PVE SERVER.
That said, i don't think people see the difference between ganking and griefing. I ganked too. I remember it was fun in Grizzly hills, i did it with a friend and usually we stopped when we got killed once.
But when you kill the same people 30 time or camp a place for HOURS, well this slips into griefing (and you have nothing better to do with your life it seems).
funny thing that this all you have to say when someone gives you an honest answer with complete sentences instead of "trololol go PVE b..ch"
we have a saying in germany, roughly translated: "don't throw stones while sitting in a glass house"
You see, you throw your stones against your glass wall and it shatters, i for myself am sitting there throwing my dead brain against the glass walls and nothing happens. Dead brains don't break glass. Win
have a nice day

Sometimes, sometimes not.
Sometimes Im on my own and I get ganked by 5. Sometimes Im doing a rare with people and they turn and gank.
It happens, it's a bit inconvenient but get over it and move on.
Like I said, nothing wrong with ganking on either side just dont be that dick that does multiple times over.
Rage of Sleeper makes immune to any CC, therefore stuns are a waste of global cooldown. Kicks wont work on tanks since we do not cast anything. On top of that there is also the pvp perk that automatically disables all CCs above 5 seconds duration. Stun is more than 5 seconds I think, therefore it won't work. Rage of the Sleeper and Potion on top will make my Thrash crit for 1.1 to 1.3M on each target. Sometimes it proccs to fire another. None the less there may be a moonfireprocc from any attack. Just to even the numbers I can use the glaive trinket on top. So they have to stand in the glaives or move out, since they are melee they can't damage me then anymore. Thorns will also do some damage passively. When the 10 seconds are over they can start to outdps my selfheals, but then they will be low on health and will die before I do.
As stated before, on my mainchar I see multiple people trying to gank, even some smaller groups, but I just won't die unless they hit me when on low health for any reason or if they are a really large group. And I think it must be davastating expecting an easy pray and in return to just get slaughtered by a pve girl. Sometimes I wonder why they even bother to attack tanks at all.
It's unfortunately human nature to not only show dominance over people with less power (especially in groups vs. 1), but to then also humiliate those people with less power by doing it over and over again.
It's basically the in-game equivalent of a gang attacking someone in an ally and then kicking him while he's on the floor. This gang finds that fun, too. Mentally, it's the same stimulus.
In many cases, it's overcompensation for other shortcomings that a person has. In some cases it's actual psychopathy.
