Ganking low lvl characters in Duskwood and Stranglethorn

PVP War Mode and World PvP
101

Hmmm, I would probably start ganking lol levels just to get that.
It’s a video game, things like that will always have an opposite effect - you give gankers exactly what they want.

Here’s Blizzard’s response to complaints about PvP happening in War Mode:

"If you do not wish to engage in PvP combat, do not activate War Mode."

Or as Iggwilv ‘suggested’, customize settings for players to choose whether or not they’d turn on War Mode to players of all levels or just to players that considered ‘equal/fair’ components.

Although haven’t done it myself, I doubt if anyone would disagree with me that encountering moments like owning characters with higher levels while having War Mode on is so much fun, especially when they pick a fight on you. Meanwhile, I would never want to become someone with a load of zeal to swiftly initiate any vote to ‘kick out noob’ at low level dungeons. So I do hope Blizzard could help me to have some fun while having a fairer gaming experience with War Mode.

This kind of toxic high and mighty reaction is probably part of what motivates some lowbie gankers… toxic whispers are always amusing! Ironic that the ganker is playing the game as intended and breaking no rules, yet the toxic ‘victims’ often break ToS with abusive responses hehe!

No need. Wm on or off is enough. WPvP should feel ‘risky’, that’s part of the fun. It’s a multiplayer game - especially in WM. Lowbies can join a WPvP guild or community and call in an air strike! Or play solo and accept consequences.

When i “cried” about ganks, especially in leveling and wq zones and asked EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS (stronger guards,give penalty if you atack low ilvl/lvl players,etc)…your allies friends called me a “cry-baby”. Now, when-ever i see a ally, no matter if he is lvl 110 with 270 ilvl, i kill him. I give back what i received. And i enjoy it…make allies players gameplay misserable…its so funny to atack a noob ally from behind while he is fighting a wq mini-boss and he doesnt even realise why his hp goes down so fast…

I have all classes maxed on Alliance and I am now doing the same thing on Horde. I will tell you one thing. Horde are miles better in random bgs at least. Alliance are equally scummy in wmode and overall everyone in pvp is a d!ck.

Pvp in wow is much less about skill and much more about gear. Having full titanforged mythic gear or being a twink will make you much stronger than simply being a good player. That being said however the deciding factor of pvp is teamplay. “The lone wolf dies but the pack survives”

In my opinion if you’ve got Warmode on then you shouldn’t complain about being killed by higher levels as it’s part of the risk. However, I would be in favour of buffing town guards a lot in order to stop one person camping a town for a whole day and just griefing lowbies.

Attacking a town as the opposite faction shouldn’t be as easy as it is and I think a buff to the guards damage or cc abilities would be great and would allow for more of a challenge to those attacking!

Blizzard could implement fun rewards for killing “Town Slayers” and it should show up on the map. Killing them would drop large amount of honor or a chance of pvp gear. Encourage the defending of our towns and lowbies by rewarding those that come to the rescue.

So much missed potential when it comes to rewarding and encouraging WPvP

Guards need to be NERFED not buffed! They’re too strong now with their infinite roots and 600k+ health pool. People get away too easily right now because the attacker gets rooted and dazed.

Blizzard did this to make the game more challenging and dangerous.

Instead of the same old stale pve you know have the option of being challenged\ganked by assailants.

This is NOT forced upon you so you can always turn war mode off and continue your playing.

No use for complaining about something that can easily be prevented.

Perhaps if some kind of reward for killing the max level gankers would help. There is no incentive other than it being potentially fun, but if it’s a healer doing the ganking then it isn’t remotely fun. You can kill the player to partially prevent your leveling from being disrupted, but even then you’re wasting time and they can just come back and snipe you from the air. There is even less incentive now that you don’t even know the player, won’t see them again, and there are no realm reputations involved. Maybe bounty rewards could be added to the old world?

That would be great - and along with the score board another player suggested some weeks ago, I can see some great fun in hunting a low lvl ganking bastard down :sunglasses:

I often see the same gankers in Darkshire/STV. I don’t think sharding is as bad as people make out. I’d rather see a ganker from some other server via sharding, than no ganker at all, and they have rep for sure. My Spy addon tells me I see the same enemy players a lot. It’s a mindset issue, the WPvP past is gone, WM is where it’s at now.

The fun is in the killing, WPvP is the reward. But ye, I’d take that bounty… If I could kill a certain hunter! But, bounties are for BfA zones as part of making people want to do BfA content, maybe in next expansion.
