It's not really as bad as most pvp server players make it out to be. If you're passive then about 95% of all your encounters with the opposing faction pre-70 is non-aggressive and I'd say 50% at 70. If you're aggressive then you can stir up a hornets nest and have small wars over parts of the map quite often. I'd say only every so often you'll get a dope like the mage in the OP and/or people who camp you for no reason. Really, only a very small percentage (probably 1%) of your leveling time is spent in unwanted pvp contact.Quote:

I'd actually say it's harder to level on pve servers due to the fact that there is no worry about pvp and it's much harder to get quests done when there's lots of people around. On a pvp server, you can remove the opposing faction from your spot if you're inclined to do so. A little off track here, but I used to be against pve to pvp tranfers simply because of the gear differential (pve servers being far more advanced gear-wise), but now that resilience matters and decent gear can be obtained through pvping I'm all for it. More people, more pvp.
It can be a bit annoying to level on a PvE server if other players are trying to complete the same quest, but most of the time it is not bad. Leveling on a PvP server isn't all that bad as long as you avoid the obvious ganking hot spots or can level at odd hours (I can log in for about 30-45 minutes in the morning before I leave for work, and there is usually no one around). It depends on your server, of course. My hunter (who dinged 60 just this morning) was ganked about... 4 or 5 times, usually by level 70s running by who stopped to kill me then went on their way. Two 70s only killed my pet (no idea why) and left me alone. Yesterday a level 70 hunter left me alone in Silithus, as did the lowbie group he was helping.
The downside of a PvP server as a multiboxer is that you get more than the usual amount of attention, and if you happen to catch the eye of one of those MB haters who happens to have less of a life than they accuse us of having, they can spend a lot of time ganking you. On PvE servers it is usually your own faction that is the problem, constantly sending you tells and displaying their lack of intelligence. But I prefer to level via instances when I MB, so I haven't had any trouble. I do want to complete some Outland quests for my MB team before heading into the first instance there, PLing them with my shaman left them with mediocre gear.
Look, the bottom line is this. Corpse camping is NOT aganist the rules. Harrasement is. Harrasement is also subjective in these types of situations. Depending on the GM, time of day and phase of the moon, you may get different opinions on if this type of action is considered Harrasement. Not because of the corpse camping itself, but because of little "extra" things the guy was doing (i.e. /whispers on a level 1 toon on opposite faction, stalking, etc
You are all right and wrong so kiss and make up or go to the general forums :D
PS: Who let RobinGBrown back in :(
EDIT: DAMNIT, just realized I necro'd this thread from yesterday. WHOOPS.
TLDR
You said that you identified a level 1 alt, that he was using to track you, correct? This IS a violation, and is the primary reason you cannot roll both horde and alliance toons on the same server, on the same account. Having /who information on the opposing faction IS an unfair advantage.
I have reported many people for doing this, and have never heard back from them. Normally these attempted greifers are so unimaginitive, they use a similar name on their alt used to track me, or are dumb enough to begin verbally harassing me.
My favorite was the 70 hunter who tried to gank my shaman when we were 66. He tried and tried and tried (5 or 6 times iirc) but kept failing >.< So he created a toon named Bovidaesucks (or something to that effect) He spammed me, he spammed trade chat, he got reported, and was removed from my friends list, because "that character no longer exists" GG
Hey Zite!
First things first: Intall a blacklist addon for WoW and add these people to your blacklist. I use this one:
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/6119/
This addon is very handy, as you can later have some fun with the people that were harassing you before. The addon gives you a text/sound warning when you target someone that is on the BL.
A second thing to do - as you seemed to do more or less - is to face your character in different directions, respawn and then press the (broadcasted) autorun button. This way they are running away from each other and the sad ganker can never kill them all before they are separated. When you resurrect next time, you should be able to hearthstone most of your characters away.
The next step is to get some low-level(or friend) Warlock to summon your other character as soon as he respawns.
Usually when I get ganked, I ask a friend for help and we get our 70s to kill these sad players.
This. Stealthy and Azq have both had to come save my ass quite a few times. =PQuote:

VanasKoS is an ACE mod and has a lot of great features to aid in getting revenge on the people who have ganked you or your friends!
Well, I read most of the posts. To the original poster who had camping problems, you will eventually get higher. Something to look forward to. I got ganked so many times while levelling that I lost count. I learned from those encounters by how they killed me. Whether it was being camped or just in numbers, I took note. I also kept a log on who was camping/ganking me.
This is how I would deal with this problem on anybody ....if they kill you because your lower...KOS list....same level as you and its fair PVP..no KOS list...GANKERS...KOS list..you get the idea.
KOS list also can mean...Kill on sight ANYONE who in their guild...KOS also means anyone who was with the perpetrator when the evil deed was done.
Some people like to add insults with emotes and dances. I never TALK during PVP and after PVP. I think it adds a little mystique to the character when you do this. GLOATING IMO doesnt make it better but ACTIONS speak louder than words....in other words you kill him over and over will definitely make a point. When you kill him and his buddy that tried to help also will make a statement. When you kill him and 5 of his buddies who try to help will also make a point.
I say this because I had a case where I got ganked by lvl 70 who was helping the other toons that were my level. But they needed help from the 70 in order to kill me. So, I got my friend a lvl 70 to help out. I asked him to only take out the other 70 if he came around. I would take care of the rest. Needless to say, we cleaned friggin house and then some. We wouldnt even let them get to the FP. I PKed those guys so many times that some of them just logged. I made my point by dealing with them my way. They knew not to mess with The Zerg. As mentioned in an earlier post, The Zerg can and will retaliate against you and your whole frickin guild. 8o
Just dont get discouraged when you get ganked or camped. Thats just part of PVP. Try to get help and if that dont happen then log and do something with other toons. Eventually you can take care of business when your his level. Keep track of those names who PK you ?? levels. FYI I can usually PK anyone who is 9 levels near my level. At level 54 I took out my first level 70. When you level 61(9 from 70) you can probably go 70 hunting without any problems. :cursing:
9 levels higher, you say?
Have you ever heard of the resist mechanic? Landing a spell on anything 9 levels higher than you would be impressive, never mind actually killing it. 56 vs 70??? roflmao pics or it didn't happen.
This isn't all that uncommon. At 56 I got ganked by a 70 hunter and when I respawned he taunted me a bit. I did a lightbolt, cl + shock and he was half hitpoints. I didn't kill him because he quickly took out my dudes who were in sm gear but the point remains that resist mechanics are not as extreme as you think they are.Quote:
