8 (EIGHT) guards attacked me when I attempted to engage in wpvp on a pvp server. So max level wpvp is discouraged, but lowbie ganking is perfectly okay?

I love World PVP, but I really do hope that actually turned on the guards around the BMAH, too many times have I not been able to bid because of huge groups of the opposite faction keeping everyone else out so that they can get the items cheap.
You (I) also can't Warlock fear people in half hill now without setting the guards off. I loved griefing people with fear prior to patch 5.2. But oh well.
There has allways been guards there to prevent from a faction allways having bmah to their own.
Wrong. Blizzard's initial intention was for the BMAH to be a pvp hotspot. There were guards there, but they were for show only: they did not attack you if you attacked the opposite faction. If you had decided you wanted to stop the opposite faction from bidding on items (on a PvP Realm), you had the option of killing any opposite faction players on sight, and if you killed them fast enough, stopping them from bidding on items. The guards would stand there and watch you do it.
With the patch Blizzard has either changed their minds, or it is a bug.
aah okay then mmmmmmmmmmmmmmBacon, i paly on pve realm so i asumed they killed people who pvped against each other. I withdraw my old statement.
Is it possible that's the way it was on PvP servers? Guards have always been agro'd to world pvp on the PvE server I play on.
The only difference since the patch is that their health bar tags show up now, they didn't used to before.
(I should add, the guards would only agro if you're actually in the BMAH building, now they agro throughout the whole village.)
And eight, eight, I forget what eight was for
CRZ still defeats that whole point as you can just get invited to a PvE realm to bid on stuff from your realm.
Not like it matters since guards hit like wet noodles.You (I) also can't Warlock fear people in half hill now without setting the guards off. I loved griefing people with fear prior to patch 5.2. But oh well.
Perhaps to a tank spec, but they still hit for ~20k, mortal strike, and root players they attack (as well as daze), and around 4-7 of them will attack you.
It is of course still feasible for a group of players to camp the BMAH with a raid group with a tank to pick up the guards, but this effectively stops any small skirmishes in their tracks.
I swear guards have always been there. I remember in the beginning of MOP I went to the BMAH and attacked a horde and got killed by a guard.
Packers - Penguins - Gators
Oh poor you can't kill afk people anymore.
Aye mate
8 (EIGHT)
Holy shit! (HOLY SHIT)
How pathetic do you even have to be to expect to be able to have the BMAH all to yourself. If you aren't the first to bid goldcap on something you like, tough luck.
