I’d flat out be willing to bet money on the fact that if horde complained about it, the guards would be buffed in a week
Oh wait, that’s already happened before
No need, see: mezzanine open, sit on roof and kill alliance, newhome cave with wall of npc guards.
Horde bias.
Come out and play you chicken bounties.
Pretty sure guards are there to punish lowbies who wander into there…
…Or I’d say that, but I was leveling an alt in Outland and got swarmed by the cavalry that roams around the base of the Alliance settlement in Hellfire Peninsula while I was picking up zepplin parts and… well, all four of them sorta… fell? Like, really easily.
Not sure what the point of them being there was other than to flag me for wandering too close.
I like the guards in another game I play. You better just run because if you try to fight them they will straight out one-shot you after a certain time. They also have a way to grab you from a distance to slow you down so getting away, though not impossible, can be a challenge especially if your direction takes you into more guards. Those guards are GUARDS and they are not to be taken lightly by any level player even if very well geared.
In this game the guards are a joke to a max level player.
Like, if they were super geared then yea sure guards might be a bit easier if you’re insanely geared
But near fresh 120 and still just ignore guards because they have 1/4 your hp, maybe less
Guards should be a threat, they’re guards (like you said in the other game)
Guards in WoW probably won’t ever be much more than a joke due to the fact that the world PvP players would just complain about guard buffs until the devs decide to nerf the guards back into the ground.
Some guards are made to one shot anyone. Some guards are made to be the wipping boy of people who think themselves so great they can kill guards.
Guards are not made equal.
dont like pvp? leave WM

it’s near the end of an expansion. had similar situation in Hellfire Peninsula, both faction hubs had level capped characters curbstomping quest NPCs. at least nowadays there are other places to level up 60-70 bracket – wasn’t so back in 2011
sounds like the answer here.
non-wm guards have higher health pools

The big issue here: Will PvP ever matter ?
Does Thrall stopped being the warchief by virtue of how many alliance killed him at the throne room ?
Does varian died based on the number of times they raided the castle and killed him ?
Does warsong gulch was ever conquered ? does the horde destroyed Ashenvale based on how many WG they won ?
Does any pvp ever made a difference beyond ego massage of people playing it ?
Alliance guards matter as they hit like a truck load. They hit like mini bosses. Horde guards need to go to their boot camp.
That reads legit.
I killed nzoth. Why should guards of a small mountain town be stronger than me?
The same way you got your power, they might got theirs.
but mom, I don’t wannnnna
