Here’s what really happened op tried to gank a lvl 12, back up came and op got camped. It’s wpvp get used to it
There was a level 12 running around in Shimmering Flats?
Yes, you do. None of this is outside of what happened in the game originally. You could have EASILY rolled on a pve/rp server if you didn’t want to deal with the fact that something other than a mob can and WILL kill you.
Actually, I had a pretty fun time in Hillsbrad today. I died, they died, we all died and it was fun. But it wasn’t the same GROUP camping a single person.
Pretty much this. There’s a reason I’ll never go back to a PvP server after playing on one for 8 years. WPvP is more of an annoyance than anything else, if you’re not really into roaming in a pack. If you want to get anything productive done, do it on a Normal server.

I will always honor a 1v1. And if my horde buddy picks a fight and im not interested. hes on his own. If he gets whooped sucks for him.

Exactly this. And after the 1v1 you should be allowed to finish the enemy off. Anything beyond giving someone a chance is fair game. But never giving anyone a chance is just dumb.
And so people understand, honoring the 1v1 only applies to the opener. After that anything goes.
Dont get me wrong. I dont expect people to honor it. If people wana group and kill u. im fine with that. Just in my experience ill honor a 1v1

Just wait until groups of people hit 60 and are bored of doing dungeons and waiting for other to catch up to raid. There will be gank groups of 60s sitting in lowbie zones, killing all the players they can, and the NPCs as well.
The glorious fantasy of WPvP people had.

To be fair thats my plan. but solo because im not a group person
For me, it the actual memory of WPvP. Horde guilds sitting in Darkshire and Westfall for hours . Alliance guilds doing the same in Brill and [whatever the name of the quest hub in the middle of the Barrens is called, I forget], also for hours.
Everyone ganking everyone in STV and Tanaris.
There is a pvp addon called Spy that players are using to notify others in the zone when they are attacked.
After years of playing on pvp servers I’m soooo weary of it. Very glad I rolled on a normal server and I’ll never look back.

Horde stick together. Always.
I’ll only honor a 1v1 if the Horde is winning without my help.
Yeah, I meant that people have this fantasy of WPvP being epic contests of skill. When for the most part it is some guy in raid gear rolling someone who can’t fight back.
Then they trot out “this is WARcraft”, as if that has any relevance to one sided fights.

I’m not saying it wasn’t extremely frustrating at times. It was fun too. But, as the Gnome said, I haven’t the patience or inclination for that sort of thing these days.
I respect the 1v1. Everyone has to take their lumps sometime.
Not gonna lie tho… if im with my buddy im not gonna tell him to stand back and watch
I’ll fight you 1v1. Or gank you with a group. I’m really not fussed, any alliance I see are KOS
Duels are 1v1, world pvp is free for all. Both sides, everyone, all the time.
