Does anyone else agree with me on this? I’ve been playing classic since release and ever since this new surge of players. Ganking has gotten way out of hand.
And this is regardless of what side you play on, people will always be like “OH MY GOSH THE HORDE/ALLIANCE IS SO MUCH WORSE”
no…
just no…
Whitemane ganking is out of control. FOR EVERYONE!!! Ganking lowbies that are below more then 15-20 levels of you. honestly it should be met with a dishonorable kill. It harms the game over all and makes it harder for new people to come into it.
I can hear the comments now, “its a pvp server” yeah of course but there is nothing fun about ganking a level 20 as a level 50 undead ambushing them. I’m unsure how that can be fun even on the ganking side of it "oh yeah i just wasted my time one shotting this guy and getting nothing in return.
We have realms on WOTLK that are pretty much PVE realms because of this issue.
I think you’re misunderstanding those player’s intention. They want to curbstomp new players. Then when their server dies, to go to the next one and do the same. Look at posts from Phase 2, PvP players and griefers are not the same players.
People have thought that horde/alliance have distinct personalities for 18 years now lol. You won’t convince them otherwise. Don’t even entertain low IQ stuff like that.
Anyway, I play alone on Grobbulus. When I hit 60 I’ll decide if I want to transfer to Whitemane or not.
Honestly I have no idea why anyone even levels on Whitemane. You can level on Grob like it’s your own personal server and then take the free transfer to Whitemane to avoid the ganking.
There are servers where you can toggle PvP on/off. They are not labeled “PVP” servers. Anyone who feels the way you have expressed yourself here should be playing on those servers.
Perhaps Normal and PvP servers should have been named PvP Optional and PvP Forced, instead. Or perhaps there should have been a disclaimer when you sign up for PvP servers that you agree to engaging in combat with any member of the opposite faction, anywhere in the open world, regardless of level or group-size differences.
Eventually, Retail solves all problems with Classic, and this is one of them. I don’t personally like the solution, which is probably why I play Classic, and I suspect there are others who feel the same way.
Certain addons were factually harming pvp by eliminating the element of surprise in troop movements because everyone was using effing radar guided targeting grid spy addon.
