i’m all for spontaneous world pvp, been loving most of the encounters I’ve had - even those I’ve lost - when it’s straightforward horde meets alliance fights.
However, there is a cancer that needs to be cut out here: 120’s ganking lower level players. It happened occasionally to my main while going around broken isles in the 100-110 range, but that was nothing compared to what I’m seeing leveling a new character from the start. There are an abundance of 120’s - we’re talking 500k HP edgelords - flying around old azeroth 30-60 zones and one shotting everyone they come across. Seems most of these wonderful people are from area 52 and illidan, at that.
Simply having no honor points rewarded for killing people more than 10 levels below you is nowhere near enough incentive to stop this kind of behavior. Blizzard has to know that this was going to happen when they created warmode in the first place. Back in the day, even pvp servers didnt have quite this level of abuse, but the stat scaling wasnt so absurd either.
I think it’s time that warmode scale players down to one another, or at the very least prevent attacking anyone more than 20 levels below you.

can be solved by the lowbies disabling warmode.
If they want the leveling bonus, they can deal with the corpse runs.

Absolutely not.
If you want to kill that 120 bring your main along to kill them. Or like nobully said turn off WM. it can be done in any rested area now so its easy to do.
there are serious issues with WM but that isnt one of them

I disagree with this.
Not so much that I haven’t disliked when I was on the receiving end of it but it’s what Warmode is. It’s War-mode. It’s not meant to be fair.
At 10- 60 there’s like 25 other maps to level on. Alternatively if you’re near a main city ask your high gang to repel the invaders.
Ganking lowbies is hilarious. People like you caused Blizzard to create the changes that made me leave.
Guess it’s too much to ask any of these lowlife scum to have some honor these days. Of course, that’s what happens when it’s sylvanus’ horde.
But I think what you’re talking about are dishonorable kills. They had that way back in the day for killing lowbies and npcs. Used to subtract from your honor score. They took it out because of smurf/troll players intentionally getting as many as they can in a group.
Sharding needs to balance out factions better, imo. And there should be zone objectives all over that are randomly active for warmode players, think Hellfire Peninsula in BC. And I don’t mean assaults, I mean things players can trigger whenever.
It’s called War mode. It inherently has risk to it, so if you’re afraid of getting ganked and camped, you should probably turn it off. Imagine being so entitled to think you deserve the 10-30% war mode bonus without any of the risk. It’s post just like this why those 120s are flying around ganking lowbies.
I take it OP has never had the constant fear of leveling on a PvP realm where you couldn’t just turn off the ganking…
