Is there a sort of équiette when doing World PVP ?

[Coolthulhu]

Well, lowbies should always be euthanized with the Chained Essence of Eranikus. That's the humane thing to do.

[Big Thanks]

By whom?

By everyone being ganked in the entire world?

The victim pretty much

[Sanguinerd]

I do remember some boomkin trying to do that quest during Legion, he'd always bitch in chat when he people didn't fancy getting killed and ruined his quest

[KOUNTERPARTS]

world PVP etiquette: save yourself, kill them all.

But they are from my faction.

If you have something that makes them an enemy (the thing OP is doing, for example), they become red - and thus, dead.


OT: If there's lots of my faction about and few of the other, I'll tend to leave them alone because it'll only encourage my own faction to farm them because they'd be free kills. If it's even or I'm on the lesser side, fair game. If they have a terrible name, emote spam (seeing a lot of people emoting lately, even in arenas - funny when they lose after /laughing /spititng), do something annoying like DoT me, or AoE on a single mob both factions are fighting (Leg Sweep, Chaos Nova, Eye Beam, Bladestorm...) and don't aim it properly to avoid me, I'll probably kill them.

Yesterday for example I was doing a Tirigarde Assault WQ and a Blood DK kept pestering me. I literally killed him about 9 times in a row, he just kept coming after me. I don't know what was going through his head other than "I'm Blood, you can't kill me... this time!"

Half the time I spit on people when I kill them just to see if I get a response. If I get a response I'll camp them and try to carry the conversation as long as possible, generally being as polite as possible while doing so. If they say nothing I'll move on. I use to post the good ones in my guild discord because generally people who add you after dying once in PvP are completely whacked out of their minds. In similar threads I see people claiming that those who gank, or engage in unfair engagements have social/mental issues, but from my experience it's quite the opposite. Death threats weren't that uncommon, nor was the famed "I'm reporting you for griefing" response that was 50% of the conversation usually.

There aren't rules to world PvP and the faster you learn this the quicker it won't bother you. There are times I get camped by swarms of people, or killed by high level characters on my alts. I recognize this is a game and the inherent risks of once playing on a PvP server, or having warmode on. Sometimes it's annoying for sure, but at least you have the option to turn it off now. I had a hair of sympathy for people stuck on PvP realms solely because that's the guild they decided to raid on, but zero for people who complain about dying in warmode.

Being ganked should be a part of the equation in what you accept is going to happen when you enable World PvP. It's up to you to find your way out of it, there are plenty of ways to do so. I think it makes the game more interesting.

[ONCHEhap]

By whom? Certainly not everyone. Not me.

There are no rules in world PvP. That's the beauty of it.

Ganking is frowned upon by people who can actually play the game and don't need to team up 40v1 to get a kill

This is hilarious!

I have a funny story; me and my buddy were leveling and trying to do the stormsong escort quest; and kept getting ganked by the same 5 horde (all 110; I think we were 103, we were both leveling warlocks) - I added one of them and was like "Hey, would you mind letting us live for the end of the escort quest!"

Low and behold; they were totally cool with it; they let us live; and still to this day; we chat on battle.net occasionally!

Not everyone is crazy; if you PvP, you should expect that type of behavior; I'd love to see the rage that people unleash on you; probably epic.

What's wrong with forming a raid and engaging in world PvP? Most raids stampede or rotate across maps and hardly focus on corpse camping 1 enemy player, probably hoping the enemy forms their own raid to fight back. If they do single you out and corpse camp you 40 to 1, I guess it's a dick move. At that point the challenge is for you to get yourself out of there.

There are PLENTY of games with an etiquette in World PvP.

You know, games where the community actually has a brain.

Not in WoW, because its community is full of stupid mankids.

I dont care about your damm gankfest trophies

Did you know that in Black desert online we do "duels" to contest the grinding spot?
And we always say "r" (ready) before starting?

Yeah. Games where people are actually civil, you know. Unlike gankers in WoW.

I love this. I've done the same thing over the years, as have many of my friends. I've had it happen to me, and I've accepted it. Formed plenty of groups with guildies to return the favour. Before we knew it we were in a guerilla Horde vs Alliance conflict.

haha what an absolute steaming pile of garbage. If you want civil pvp, it exists - its duals, arena, battlebrounds. the ONLY difference warmode offers is the ability to engage someone in pvp combat when they are not ready and do not want it. Thats literally the only point of warmode - ganking.

The guy in the second screen shot added me about 7x over a 3 month period, all over killing him once. It's actually a bit longer of a screenshot but it gets RL personal on his part and I end up explaining to him how CRZ realm hopping works. He thanked me, said he would look into it and I've never heard from him again.

Hasn't been a lot, but I have made half a dozen friends from BTAG rage requests over the years. I've also talked shop with people on the opposite faction about them good old days of back and forth shenanigans too.

Good thing this is a WoW forum talking about World PvP and not Black Desert online where you "duel" to contest grinding spots.

After you're done your duel, do you retreat back to your study with your lads and talk about said duel? Maybe by the fire place, in a nice chair sipping on some whiskey?

I think I read that Black Desert only has PvP servers. I can understand that servers would adopt such rules, but what the fuck does this have to do with World of Warcraft's world PvP etiquette, when it provides both PvP and PvE servers (and now simply WM ON/OFF)?

[sarahtasher]

You do know that my point is that the falcosaurs quest zones are not PVP zones, right ? (Unlike the arenas and towers of Legion. There are rather small returns in the areas and towers)

[schwank05]

I'm currently ''working'' on the Talon's Vengeance mount.

It require killing around, I dunno, 600-700 people in very specific zones (PVP World zones of Legion, or Falcosaur quest zones. Each killed player get a debuff lasting 10 minutes, which make, ahem ''arrangements'' hard to maintain)

Free for all PVP-faction members are fair game. So, question : should I warn/explain to players of my faction what I'm doing ? (

Hell no, Let her rip tater chip. Become a one man wrecking crew and destroy everyone in your path.

[Tojara]

I mean those are the rules set in place in those areas. I didn't discriminate doing Legion FFA PvP zones and commonly camped Horde in those areas too if I felt like having some fun. You literally enter those areas knowing the risks, and it's pretty easy to actively ignore them. I suppose if you're there solely to be efficient doing an achievement you can warn those you've already killed to increase efficiency and it's your right to do so. It's also fine for them to absolutely clobber you, form a group and make it pretty miserable for you to advance on your achievement too.
