The problem by far in large with it is that Ally is accusing Horde of griefing and complaining about it, Horde is doing the exact same. Hold on to your pitchforks and your torches folks.
I have a level 60, a healing priest on one of the most even ally/horde pvp servers. I didn’t want to go to a pvp servers for fear of this exact reason. I joined because a friend of mine knew some folks were making a horde guild and got dragged along with it. That fell through as the guild leader played other games and so on so we found a new guild. At first it was cool being with them, getting to 60, helping my friend level the rest o the way and so on as I didn’t want to throw away all that time. PvP was tolerable, as was the ganking. As a priest I expected to die alot and was almost 60 when the guild fell apart.
Cue the honor system being released.
This is 6 guild raids later and me not having all my raid gear or even my bis to raid with. I have like 4 purples and have put a lot of time and money (play time and gold) into getting all this gear. Now, am attempting to run my friend through dungeons to get his gear as well as a few other guildies and get some gold to maintain pots since tailoring makes jack all unless you go and get the mats. With the honor system released, corpse run to dungeons to the point that group just gives up after reaching or almost reaching entrance. 10 minute rez timers, corpse camped by the same 5-10 people, edges of towns and cities being camped, I hear in the discord guild making plans to camp boats and ally towns for people that are just coming out and even participated once in a boat camp but realized repeated attempts were just… boring.
No offense to those that participate in such things, but camping spawns and travel zones and waiting for them to come out or an unsuspecting person that just logged on and hasn’t been privy to where the camping is happening walking out and killing them… THAT isn’t pvp. Its a waste of time and frustrating for the person just trying to grind out gear/mats/gold.
I made the point very clear to my friend at the start that I didn’t want to be on a PvP server from the start because I had a gut feeling that this is what it would dissolve into and the Wow community did not disappoint. Honestly… At this point… all I want is to transfer my character over to a pve server so they can just be useful to another group. Until Transfers are opened, I’m stuck to just leveling a character on another server, and BG isn’t going to fix this issue, people will still go for the easy kills, because why not catch the unsuspecting person traveling to grind dungeons over an actual chance at a fair fight in BG, because people don’t want to work too hard for their stuff. Once again, not being offensive, but proof is in the multitude of guides, videos, and posts telling and giving advice on leveling, gold grinding, mat grinding, add ons, so on so forth.
