In the starter zone for DF, max lvl players have free reign to grief fresh 60s, with the guards hitting for peanuts, is this intended? ‘tUrN wArMoDe OfF’. Why should I? I like a fair fight like most people, this is just stupid and not a skill issue. Out in the open world fair game but in the main quest hub you cant even start quests.

Yeah, that’s not how world PvP works, and never has.

Yeah, the unfortunate truth and why many people would never even consier turning it on. Nobody ever wants to fight you unless they’re completely sure they’ll win.

I agree for WPvP - survival of the fittest after all, but I wish instanced PvP was more about skill and less about gear!
WPvP definitely is the survival of the fittest, but I do believe there needs to be more balancing of the “environment” in this case.
Guards should be dangerous. Lowbies should be able to use them for protection or at least to get away from a ganker in specific areas.

I was really surprised when I discovered zero guards at Dragonscale Basecamp, which is located at the starting location of DF.
There’s always massacre there with 60-65 lvls who keep corpserunning cuz there’s some 70 lvl chad insta killing them upon ress. I’m sure, blizz is not even familiar with that one.
wpvp have always been greifer central.
It’s a reason why almost every pvp server become almost exclusively horde or alliance.

That is true
well i remember doing this pvp wq in thaldraszus(kill mobs or players)
same spot where you rez there were alot of horde players from different servers duking it out
joined them for a few rounds to get tag and finish my world quest(scalewarden plate gloves reward)
and someone even called it"battle royal" was fun despite the cc lock
reminds me of bfa warmode assault battles in drustvar
ones i fought in had 1 group on horde and 1 on alliance felt like old alterac

Well except that actually sounds fun unlike getting ganked or ganking
i had that experience before too so i am familiar(timeless isle censer gankers included)
Because you clearly don’t like world PvP. No one said it was going to be a fair fight and you chose to opt in. Don’t complain.
“I chose to be part of the PvP experience when leveling and now there is PvP happening. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME?!” - Zuljani, probably.

Idiot.
You haven’t even read my post, probably due to hamfisting crayons down your throat whilst typing that responce. I’m not talking about general wpvp, I was talking about the starter zone for lvl 60s. Being spawn camped by level 70s as a lvl 60 as soon as you get to the new zone is just stupid and clearly why warmode has very little engagement.
Add proper guards to the starter area and then the rest is fine. Which is what my OP was talking about. How can you actually disagree with my point?

there is no “starting zone” that you talk about, you are just arrive at the waking shores via airship.
Guards won’t stop players from griefing you, it’s not how it works since vanilla, check wow classic griefing.
Blizzard never’ve done guards that can handle high ilvl players, they’ll also get roflstomped, and you’ll die much faster than any guard.
Consider that maybe actually you are
And just turn off warmode, don’t be a crybaby

Meh, thats just… blizz. Either they didnt have time for it or just were lazy and pretty happy with the money they already own.
They can move the mailbox in the capital, but can’t add guards for whatever reason…
Anyway, I’m glad, I still have only 3 chars to lvl up, and I won’t ever level through waking shores again.
and calmly he said
Skill issue btw, l2p
I had this experience and it was awful. I hope the starting zone guards can oneshot griefers. Cuz it’s not a fun welcome to the expansion for new players.
With me it happened that I didn’t know about this, and wanted to keep WM for extra rewards. And when they started to camp my corpse, I wasn’t able to turn off easily. I had to die on my way running to the rested camp.
The type of “chad” that camps lowbies.
