Why do people still gank lower level players?

[Spudman123]

Dear God..the amount of whining in this post is just freaking hilarious and sad. Some of y'all were not hugged enough as lil kids apparently..because now people that do this are "bullying" you, lmao. It is APART of the game, if you don't like it, cry a river and switch servers then. It has nothing to do with someone having a mental issue and wanting to do it to watch you suffer and cry lol. I do it for the hell of it on the RP server I play on if idiots are dumb enough to walk around flagged. It happens to almost everyone, so stop whining and running your mouths about it cause nothing is going to change the simple fact that it is going to happen.
P.S. Great to know i'm crazy and feel bad for myself and i'm not good enough for anyone and that im such a coward because I do it, thank you Mr. Psychologist guy that probably has never taken a psychology class in his/her life.

For the same reason some teenagers pick on 6 year olds. Internet based games are filled with all sorts of douchebags and children that get off on the hope they just ruined somebodies day.

I'm not being inconsiderate, they are being inconsiderate.

Here I was just minding my own business, when suddenly on the horizon appears a Red Health Bar. Quickly I realised this was no mere Health bar, but a Health bar of my sworn enemy, THE HORDE!

With all my fervor I quickly mounted my Steed and chased him down, smiting him with a fell swing of my Zweihander.

Little did I know, this Distraction had cost me precious time I could have been using Fapping to weird porn on the Interwebs.

DAMN YOU INCONSIDERATE LOWBIE, HOW DARE THOU WASTE THINE TIME!

And

I also Enjoy killing anyone that is on the opposite faction regardless of level.

I realise you're being "funny" and the contradiction doesn't really matter but I find the contradiction funnier than your little story.

If anything you should be thanking them.

Well I did..... I must admit, I wasn't mature then.
As a kid I did a lot..... as a grown up, I tend to be a better person.

I think it depends on what kind of person you developed into.

Good, the discussion is over then, right?

As opposed to getting off if they didn't ruin someones day?

You SICK person you.

"ITS WORD PVP HURR HURR HURR" and "Red=Dead" is the excuses they hide behind
1v1 at equal or almost equal lvl is fine, but when its 5v1 or someone 40 lvls over u,that is griefing, plain and simple

just like bullies IRL most of the time 3v1, to scared to go 1v1, its quite sad

Another butthurt gank victim with completely arbitrary definitions of what's ok and what's not, trying to make herself feel better by projecting negative qualities on the guy who was just plain better at playing the game.

But but the interwebs isn't going to Fap to itself D:

And Smiting thy enemy is enjoyable regardless of distraction.

don't know why they do it.....but last time they did it to a friend of mine who was levelling, he simply called me on my main hunter and another friend on his main lock and we destroyed him in half a second..:P That was funny!

[Synstir]

Good, the discussion is over then, right?

So you are saying these gankers are children?
Then we're done yeah.. I can fully understand children doing this yeah. Then this discussion is over yeah.

Has nothing to do with moral or not, I find it funny and that's just how it is. Don't tell me you never did something in your whole life that might be against your moral?

I still do. Several times each year. But one thing that I NEVER do is letting those acts fall on someone's shoulders. Or I am man enough to bear the consequences, or I don't do it.

Ganking is believing you're throwing you burden to strangers. That's not how it works, but it's always what gankers at my faction ended describing to me, as what they perceived.

Wait wait wait.. so to stop a Griefer, who you obviously thought was bad, you decided to 2v1 him as a way of making him have a fair fight?

[Deleted]

And this is the exact reason I don't gank, etc. Aside from considering it morally wrong, it just creates an endless cycle of misery. If somebody wrongs you, don't go wrong someone else as revenge.

Go back and ruin the original person's day =P

What class did you just came from drama ??? red = dead this is a faction based game and I honestly dont care how the opponent faction feels, I geuss faction change did kill that feeling of HORDE must die or ALLIANCE SCUM drop dead.

Dont be so whiny and get yourself worked up about things that dont even matter more then smashing a fly.

WoW PvP wouldn't be bad IF Blizzard would fix it enough that it would qualify on legit gaming leagues. When and if ever that occurs, the gloaters will have to shape up or ship out, because then they would have to prove they actually have talent and skill. WoW's arena isn't about skill, especially how so many exploit MMR to paying to getting a rating (crap, they even advertize it in chat).

It's a bunch of 15 year-olds who login and barely can afford paying their repair bill roaming with their friends to just tear up the world. I don't know how or why Blizzard even thinks it's good for the game, because most of them are talentless dweebs to begin with. All mouth, little of anything else. God, they think they're even skilled when they kill a miner 50 levels below them. -_-

Seeing you say that, and then seeing your Display picture, instantly made me think of this.



Pretty much my feelings when I go to Thrallmar for a Slaughterfest.

[Deleted]

My god that couldn't have been a better picture to link. Well done good sir.

[Syro]

It s fun.
Also they tend to call their lvl 90 friends or come with mains wich makes it even more fun.

[Tullkas]

In Warhammer Online if you come to low lvl PvP zone you will turn to chicken with 1 HP and you will remain like that until someone kills you.

[Pendragon]

Why else would a level 90 player gank a level 60 and not fight with another 90?
You don't have to be a psychologist to see there is a problem there; obvious is obvious.

There is no problem. People are playing a roleplaying game as characters at war on a PVP server. I think the problem is with you, sorry.

thank you for telling me it isn't real life.... as if I didn't know!
Also thanks for calling me fool at the same you're defending high levels ganking low levels and calling them "heroes at war".
Somehow I don't see the hero part when ganking a low level or attacking a player when his health is 25% fighting a mob.. you do?

And yeah, it isn't real life... but I assume there is a real person sitting at the computer and playing this game?

You knew, but you still needed to be told because you made the worst Game-RL comparison I've ever had the misfortune of reading.
Yes, there are real people behind the characters, and those real people are playing a roleplaying game called World of Warcraft where they get to choose between 2 warring factions and play on a PVP server. Ganking lowbies isn't honourable, no, but you're an idiot if you bring real life into a roleplaying game about war and conflict.

Your armory, Spongebob?

PvP isn't my prime reason to play WoW, but I did my fair share...and not as some bot, nor buying rating.

For more true PvP, you can always meet me in BF3 where I'd knife you 3x in a row before you can get one round off.

Look mom, no hacks, either!

Have no reason to brag. No reason to kill lowbies to feel special, either. The only folks I get a joy killing in PvP in WoW are the mouthers and idiots who think only red = dead. And I'll do it even as a Holy paladin...and have done it.

So take that holey sponge right on back into the game, where killing 50 level lower players is considered total "skill".
