Allow me preface this with my understanding of War Mode: It’s open season for PVP. That means you can get ganked by anyone hostile towards you.
However, that doesn’t mean I agree with killing low level players. Most of us use War Mode for the bonuses to experience and everyone can agree getting repetitively killed by someone in one shot is annoying. It’s like a grown man dunking on some 5 year olds at the YMCA. “It is War Mo----errr-----a basketball court afterall.” You might feel cool, but you just look like a jackass to the rest of the world.
Sorry, I’ll take a step off the soapbox and not harp on the mental capacity of those people who slaughter lowbies. Instead, I offer two solutions:
Remove any bonus from using War Mode unless 120.
Introduce a penalty for killing anyone lower level than you.
Removing the bonus may find less people participating in War Mode, but at least there will be less lowbies getting killed by someone higher level.
Introducing a penalty is what I would prefer as some sort of compromise. Keep all the War Mode bonuses, but for every person 10+ levels below you kill, you get a stacking debuff that lasts hours. As an example: All your stats have been decreased by 1% for 24 hours. This effect stacks with every kill but diminishes over time. This allows for people to still use War Mode and kill as they want (with a small punishment), but it also offers some protection for low level characters out leveling.
I’m interested to get some feedback on the ideas. Be as brutal as you want, but include if you’re mainly a Horde or Alliance player. Thanks!
Or, hear me out, you can not whine about PvP happening in the PvP mode of the game. Just like rolling on PvP servers meant you shouldn’t complain about world PvP happening, you can’t whine about players killing you when you intentionally flagged yourself for PvP. Coming from someone who has leveled up 27 characters to max with PvP on constantly. If you don’t like getting killed by higher levels, either turn off PvP or get on your main to camp them. Period.
I’ve leveled lots of toons on both factions with WM on (and spent the majority of my many years on wow on pvp realms). It’s just part of the territory. When it either bothers me or interferes with my leveling, I turn off WM. Problem solved.
No, you’re just an idiot who signed up to play in the PvP mode and got mad when another player killed you, regardless of the level disparity. If you don’t like the risks that are associated with PvP mode, turn it off and forego the benefits.
Not to be mean but the generic response to your kind of posts is: tHaTs wHaT pVp iS, yOu JuSt sUck, TuRN iT oFf
That being said, with the level squish in action and the short amount of time it will take to level alts, killing lowbies in WPvP will not be an issue anymore imo. It will definitely be an issue for the PvPers though, since they won’t get to practice bullying to feel cool anymore. Hence, we win
Anyone that complains about PvP in WM should be suspended from the forum for trolling, imo. They already removed PvP servers because people complained about PvP on PvP servers. Just stay out of WM.
