Introduce a penalty on grey kill pvp

[t3hpwn3r3r]

One of my recent experience,

I've been killing allies in STV Ruins of Zul'Kunda, we pvped alot, great fun, even level, deaths on both sides, then one of them logged his 60 or called his friend.

You know what's coming next, corpse camping and other shit.

Personally I like this suggestion. It gives a fair chance of having fun almost equal level pvp and not a effortless gankfest of greyed outlowlevels. I mean, there's no feat in killing someone who can't even lift a finger to fight you back. That's a no challenge bullshit. Even Blizz themselves used to promote (even though only by morale) a healthy equal levels pvp on their servers.

Heck, look at the vids people make nowadays. They always show off a challenging stuff they do, not some steamroll easy and noskill activities.

I say - implement it. This way world pvp only would benefit.

im farming my elemental fire -> low level shitter keeps tagging my mobs -> kill shitter -> get penalty
your solution seems to have 0 drawbacks... /thread

If this said shitter is grey for you then you clearly can simply either scare him off by merely wounding him or overrun by shear amount of mobs tagged at once.

Hmmm putting in an effort to let a lowbie live or just merk him on the spot? I think I will just merk him on the spot m8. They should flee as soon as they see a 60, I know I did when I was a lowbie.

Anyone who agrees with OP, let's be real for a moment. You like to think you love being on a pvp server, but you really do belong on a pve server.

how nice this al sounds.
but what you do when you see a friend/player thats lvl'ing getting killed by somebody of the other faction?
you avenge his dead or go help him simply.
and then by this system you wil get some penalty simply for being helpfull towards you're faction.

i find this suggestion stupid.

What happens when a bunch of level 60s organize world pvp of their own and raid a Capitol city or one of the many small towns in contested areas. This kind of world pvp was the best in retail and after bgs were introduced a lot of time spent waiting on the bgs que was this world pvp.

Are level 60s supposed to just avoid these world pvp sieges? When a raid like this happens there will always be low level players tagging along for the ride. Those low level players are eventually going to get crushed by some high level players aoe. Now that 60 has a debuff because some low level got into the middle of the shit and got himself killed.

The 60 is now at a disadvantage against the intended enemy as well as at a disadvantage when that bg que eventually pops.

Why did blizzard "ignore" low level pvp and leveling. Why did blizzard "not care about anything below 60". Well that's why. There was no fix that would make sense. Anything that hinders a 60 against a level 20 is also going to hinder that 60 against a 60 and eventually get exploited or have unintended consequences.

Is that reason enough why this idea won't work?
