Since it’s pretty clear that people are still going for PVP realms despite the massive ganking that awaits at launch, what are ways that you will consider effective to escape or maybe minimize the ganking on a PVP realm. Is just hiding behind trees enough? Is just staying at main cities during peak time the only solution?
Please provide solutions and elaborate on them. How has that strategy made you level in peace?
Log out, log onto an alt, log out again, then log back in and hope you log into a different layer.
The ganking doesn’t start till around 20 unless you want pvp on at level 1.
Level faster than other people. The less people around you the less chance youll get ganked
Instance grind. While less effective it is possible to jump from one instance to another after WC with minimal questing.
Have a group. Clearly the most effective way as it will allow you in most cases to be the people that control the fight with numbers. Most players arent going to attack a group.
Play a stealth class. One of the most effective ways as it allows you to chose the fights and places you wish.
Be prepared to leave a spot and level in another area or play an alt if your getting camped
Play on a PvE server and avoid ganking all together.
kill them dead.
Skip STV. Find somewhere peaceful to grind. Desolace is pretty… desolate. There’s probably going to be more Horde than Alliance there, but I’d still grind there as Alliance as a last resort.
You are a druid. You decide when you will have the potential of being ganked with stealth, and paying attention to your surroundings.
You want to level in peace ? Roll pve server.
At the expense of, at a minimum of 10%, of the total immersion factor.
Make friends.
The Classic experience is way, way more social than the current iteration of the game; so make friends along the way. A group of 2-3 people is way more efficient for leveling, and really unattractive to xXGankMastaXx. ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
Talent for maximum survival and escape ability.
As stated by others make friends. A group of 3 or more isn’t an attractive target to someone ganking. And I’ll say ganking will be a more major issues in a few months. Most of the people pushing hard for 60 are looking to try for the pointless server firsts. Just get a group and level in 2-3 months. Create alts. Play other alts when you one alt is being camped.
This. I just hope that we are all not too corrupted(and incapable of being nice) by enduring literal years of go, go, go-kick the noob, random dungeons, and cross realm bs.
You start on launch day and roll with a group once you get into the 25+ content.
Sure you’ll have to pull more to make up for lost efficiency but it’s more xp than you’ll get being dead.
2 words; Good luck.
PS. 3 more words; roll pve server.
With layering being added to classic (it was not there in vanilla so it is a change) you don’t have to worry. Log out, then log back in on a different layer and your worries are gone.
Use this method to abuse node farming as well and completely destroy the auction house. ![:sunglasses:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/sunglasses.png?v=6" ":sunglasses:")
You’ll have those high level players that will watch the world defense channel and come help you.
Remember we get back the world defense channel so make use if it when xxEdgeLordxx parks himself at the inn and ganks.
Twiink is right…just relog and you probably end up in a different layer.
I do the ganking, not the other way around.
If you want to get in a fight, go for it. A lot of times it isn’t worth it to spend 4 hours contending over a mob in STV, but some people enjoy that. I love PVP servers. I ganked players on my realm as I was leveling that I ended up fighting throughout the ENTIRE game over many tiers of gear. People remember your name and they often will sneak up on you 1-5 zones later while you’ve got an elite at 10% hp (with help sometimes). So, keep that in mind.
This game is not designed to be fair to everyone. It reminds you that you’re just one player among many and you’ll often be at a disadvantage. If you’re behind the curve on a PVP server, expect players to remind you of it–they will.
The game encourages you to come up with your own solutions and fight (or run) your way out of it.
Being camped by a group of level 60’s wasn’t immersive it was annoying.
If a player doesn’t want to be ganked don’t play on a pvp server.
