War Mode on and Avoiding PvP

Questing comes with danger. What kind of adventurer are you if you just cannot be killed by anything at any time untill you queue for dungeons?

Just like Dark Souls invaders, red names in open world is another challenge to be overcome. If anything, the rewards should come from killing players and not for simply having war mode on.

Gamers need to be hardened a bit in my humble opinion.

I can think of a time i killed two gankers while leveling up. One of them was a war 2 levels up. 78 i believe. the other was 3 or 4 levels lower.

All i did was aspect of the cheetah away, dropped traps, turned around and dumped my CDs on the lower level.

He died, then i feigned death and stealthed. Waited my Cds, the idiot warrior was still there just using Whirlwind everywere xD.

Threw an implosion trap and jumped him. I won with a sliver of health left.

My heart was pumping and i was full of adrealine. It baffles my why you guys deny yourselves this thrill.

The opposite also happened. I was questing with my bro, a fury warrior. We jumped a frost DK together.

Because we are knuckleheads, we forgot that you cant be in melee range of a frost DK. Long story short he killed both of us and slowly walked away like the bloody terminator xD .

I praised him in general chat and he said thank you. For some reason he could understand orcish and elvish.

Do you really hate the above interactions so much? What exactly is so visceraly wrong and evil in dying in open world?

I wouldn’t get used to it. This is clearly a bug, or at least something not intended.

There is even some kind of exploit where you can mount up in combat. I have no idea how they do it, but i lost my fair share of prey this way =(

World PvP is hardly never fair.

I can’t remember last time I got attacked by someone with lesser gear than me or had slight disadvantage.

It’s like I said, everyone always attacks when they think they can win and is afraid for their toons life as it was their own.

You will see players that don’t attack until they see someone else attacks then they join the fight.

Which is why it feels SO much better when you actually win.

And it gives you an incentive to gear up, come back, and slaugther the bastards that ganked you.
Read my above post. You are doing yourself a disservice IMO if you avoid pvp. (not you personally ofc).

But i understand what you mean. You will always find honorless cowards.

But it will just make you stronger if you have the resolve for it.

Can’t blame the victim from trying to escape. Especially if we are talking about ganking.
He is not paying his sub to to entertain you by being your personal practice dummy/honour kill farm target.

As for

WHo knows. Maybe but I think there where other ways to escape like jumping shards and stuff…at least a while back. No idea about now.

True. He is however paying to play a game. a Challenge.

I am just another mob for him to kill and overcome. Im not farming anyone that fights back. You are not paying to win instantly after all. You would get bored in days.

Once again, if that bothers them, they can just turn war mode off and make fun of me by dancing in my face while i fume.

Random PvPer: Dont like gangking! Turn off WM u newb!
Ganked: Ok. Turns off WM

Random PvPer: Omgez PvP is dead. Nobody does it anymore on WoW!

You reap what you sow :man_shrugging:

You say that like its a bad thing. Why would i want to fight a player that stands still?

PvP is dead because of BGs and balancing. Not because of Open World. Thats a whole other topic.

Free honour kill?

I think you spend too much time on forums Illinen. Play the game more…

This never happens to me and I engage in world PVP a lot, you won’t even have time to open your dungeon finder window before I send you on a date with the spirit healer. LOL

Hey! People are too busy spamming the same dun 600 times and never talk.
Dont blame me for wanting to interact with the comunity. xD

Ya damn fox!

if you want a lot of world PVP you can hang around in PVP areas, even if someone manages to disappear on you like that, there will always be more in no time. Especially if there are world quests active.

Most people play videogames to relax. They also like to get their time worth while their progressing on something.

World PvP disrupts both of these things. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that the thrill of “possible mortal danger coming your way at any moment” does make the mostly harmless boring open world more exciting.

Most people simply don’t want to spend their time being reskilled over and over by someone who outlevels or outgears them. There is simply nothing enjoyable about it. Even instanced PvP has massive issues with “fairness.” In world PvP, this concept doesn’t even exist.

I have turned WM on very little so far. I’ve done it for a bit in BfA where it had massive sharding issues.

I remember in Zuldazar, I managed to get into two raids brawling in the open to do the “kill 10 players” quest - You couldn’t do the quest in raid group. So I had to apply to get an invite to “shard in” to the fight and then leave the raid to progress on the quest.

However, if the fight moved into a different area of the map, I phased out of the “raid shard” and had to apply and be invited again so I could leave again to progress the quest while hoping the fight doesn’t move somewhere else. Mind you, I am a healer. It was dreadful.

Then in Nazjatar, there were always at least five times more Horde than Alli players for some reason. Literally unplayable at any hour of the day.

I did couple world PvP quests in DF and they were really really mid, not terrible, but nothing that would make me want to do it more.

I fully support the “bribes” tho. Players take more risk in WM so they should recieve a greater reward. That’s literally how anything in this game works. By this logic, the highest ilvl gear in Mythic Raids is “bribing” people to do Mythic Raiding when they could do LFR instead … or progress into high lvl M+ or high tier delves.

Them’s fighting words fox!

You’re horde though. So best i can do is duel you :stuck_out_tongue:

how cute, do you realize you can use EVERYTHING in the world PVP now do you? :smiley: I just killed about 3 people with that bomb that does about 2mil aoe after 5 seconds, and I have items that could top my health many times, multiple toys to escape danger, gliders, selfress and more, why are you guys keep complaining about everything instead of playing the damn game :smiley:

Most things like that worked in instanced casual pvp as well, I love this tiktok dude, look up Alunethmaster there, he will teach you how to enjoy casual PVP.

in PVP zone everyone will be your enemy except people in your group.

I have to admit, your foxy face is VERY punchable!.

though i picked horde for a reason. Dont wanna kill reds.

fight me with your blue alt :smiley:

I dont do alts anymore, but look at this dude, he is proving that casual pvp is amazing :smiley: https://www.tiktok.com/@alunethmaster/video/7382363598439451937

When I enable warmode I do it for extra exp and fully expect others to have WM on for the same reason, since world PVP is garbage and I don’t see why anyone reasonable would bother with it. :woman_shrugging:

Read my comment above if you are so inclined. I gave a very good reason.

The adrenaline. The rush. The conquest.

You shouldn’t expect that. I see a red name and instantly jump them. My bro does too. Unless the level is gray.

Kill or be killed. I laugh with joy with either outcome. Like the good lunatic my character is :smiley:
