Wpvp in lvling zones

[Crossbreed]

many zones are rendered virtually unplayable by lowbies for hours, if not days.

yeaaaaaaaa OK

Depending on how you define playable of course.

I've just spent 2 hours on a collection quest, and ended up gathering a whopping 2 of the 6 items needed during this entire time, thanks to greatly overpopulated spawn zones, low drop rates, and most of all a MASSIVE amount of ganking going on over there; one BWL geared guy alone has been running around in circles for the past 6 (!) hours ganking everyone - and that's one out of probably more than a dozen level 60s that have been there ganking tonight. I don't think I recall a time today where my ress timer was much below its cap.

Is it unplayable? Well, of course you'll reach 60 at some point, slowly, somehow. But the overpopulation has definitely caused significant issues that I have never witnessed in over 10 years playing on live servers. Certainly a lot of players will say "PVP server, pvp happens", which is absolutely true.
But it's probably fair to point out, the magnitude of these things are nothing like they have been on the original servers, and it won't be getting any better with increasing player numbers, more high levels, and more "bored" players due to staggered content.

PvP server.

Yes, I agree that we're on a PVP server, but also on a PVP server, you should act fairly and honourably and not madly and savagely...

I have done amazing world pvp. One of the perks of going as Alliance in your late teen levels to do Wailing Caverns, on top of the good loot, the quests that give you the Deviate Scale belt pattern, and just the walking experience, is being able to fight Horde players in their teens questing in the Barrens.

It's refreshing from level 1-20 Alliance areas, you don't have any high level Alliance to help you out, and with limited exceptions, the Horde people who will attack are also in your same range level so it's fair for both parties.

I actually tried it even further, and with a paladin of mine, I gathered a group of suicidal level 15 people or so and we went to Durotar/Ogrimmar to do Ragefire Chasm, just for the sake of doing it, not because the 2 green BoPs make it anyhow worth it. Being in the Cleft of Shadows at level 15 and /wave at Horde teams gathering for the instance was pretty fun.That is until a bloodfang rogue comes in to one shot you.

Agree, those 60 lvl ''heroes'' killing only low levels. Horde is pro in this... Dishonorable kills is the right way.

I have characters on both factions, one is not kinder than the other in my experience so far. Both have plenty of dicks and you'll be getting mowed down by bored 60s either way.

Friend of mine who levelled a troll mage to level 46 or so, reports the same. I believe it.

I rarely grief but on downtime I've been known to whack some lowbies as well.

When i was leveling in Arathi last week i killed a same level alliance player, about 5 minutes later i had a level 60 rogue with the name 'Backstabber' with all accented letters sit on my corpse for about 30 minutes.

Thats what wpvp boils down to, people so bad and angsty they cant handle wpvp they bring their mains to punish other players that beat them.

Dishonorable kills are a good idea, it promotes REAL wpvp which rewards skill and preparedness to fight.

Too often do i just walk past allies because a few HK points isnt worth the chance a lvl 60 comes and destroys me for half an hour.

It just sounds like you can't deal with people retaliating. wpvp isn't fair and nor should it be.

[Burgaz]

being a fan of classic wpvp and pvp overall, I believe what is happening here is disgusting.

Current state is that everyone is camping any other who is like 10 lvls below. And I mean camping.

It IS ok to get beaten by a lvl 60 once in a while, but from like lvl 25+ you just can't walk a fe hundreds of meter without being slaughtered by someone lvl ??
plus, ppl who are having a lvl 60 already can't even stand to get beaten by someone for one time and instalog on them to camp the one who killed them.
But on the other hand, I think that the overpopulation on this server supports this issue as well. I can not believe it would be THAT bad with a lower pop.
In fact, lvling is kind of a struggle, more than it should be.

....and some ppl seem to be even proud to win an unfair fight. But thats none of my business I guess.

[VeloxBanks]

Suck it up plz. Ganking is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be.

Pussy. Show the Alliance no mercy. Give your life for the Horde.
