One of the changes coming to wrath classic should be that max level characters are not able to attack low level characters. To avoid an obvious workaround (don’t cap your ganking toon), make it so that players cannot hit other players who are 10 levels or more below them.
The only purpose of ganking is to waste other people’s time. Most gankers have no interest in fighting max-level characters and will avoid them and go for the easy fight. It’s a toxic form of gameplay and shouldn’t be in the game.

I agree – add LFD/RFD to LKClassic.

I really want the ability to gank my own faction. It would be a lot more convenient to get to the starting zones if I could just port there from Dal.
Great sunday post. Very rofl-worthy.

No. If you don’t want to get ganked then PVE servers are waiting for you.

The community has already killed off PvP servers, with Blizzard’s help.

Ganking isn’t even removed in retail

It is mostly removed because lowbies and max level characters are separated by chromie time. Max level players cannot get onto the chromie time without party syncing with another lowbie, which reduces their ilvl and gear below level 60 (I think to level 50).
Yup just tested it, my max level toon was brought down to level 50 with 56ilvl gear down from 289.
People would just use their 19,29,39,49 twink rogues to gank instead of their 80s if someone wants to gank you putting a small hurdle like a level limit isnt going to stop them.
Actually likely to increase the amount someone dies to a griefer as if your a 15 and get killed by a 19 twink you might think ok lets just get 2 more guys and we can kill him but you will still lose in most cases due to the gear disparity.

That level 19 will have +40 stam +16 agil on pants. Fiery main hand with crusader off hand and everything else with level 60 enchants Regular levelers are getting absolutely demolished by a min max twink 3v1
Yeah but the average leveler might go he is only 4 levels higher lets just get a group and take him or call a level 20+ guy to help (who would still get destroyed).
The point was a level range cap on pvp is not going to save people from ganking.
Griefing players should result in a “Dishonorable Behavior” debuff that prevents a player from entering major or sanctuary cities for extended periods of time. One dishonorable kill (ganking a lowbie) could result in a 15 minute exile. Two dishonorable kills in a short timeframe could result in an hour of exile. Keep extending the time indefinitely.
It’s easy enough to believe that the warchiefs of the various factions would not want to upset the delicate balance between the two factions through unwarranted and unprovoked killing of enemy players which pose no threat to them.

Or maybe make the dishonorable kill debuff prevents you from killing a low level player for 5mins or something stacking up to a max of 1hr for serial gankers. The debuff would reset to 5mins every daily reset.
The amount of time just sitting around would make the process extremely boring.

If they play on PVE servers how are they going to kill low level players though?
