To Gank or Not to Gank, That is the Question!

plus he only went after my DK, not the stack of undead over by the instance lighting him up and healing my dk.

hehehe. I love it when you find yourself tanking someone in PvP. I've caught myself on the other side of that too, attacking a warrior or pally while some cloth dps was burning me down, and thinking, "am I really this dumb?"

I remember way back in the L60 days when prot warriors had no dps whatsoever and were only useful for PvE. I specced my 60 warrior prot, equipped a 1H+shield and went into Arathi Basin. I could almost see the stunned looks of the enemy through my monitor, as in "WTF is this guy doing?!?" It was actually a useful tactic, as vs physical damage classes it took them so damned long to down me my team could cap a flag or interrupt a flag cap attempt with ease.

Now that same warrior (who is only L61 lol, two plus years and she's only made 1.5 levels) is specced prot again because prot has ridiculous dmg output now. I took her on a test run through a handful of HFP quests and can't believe the dps she can put out via Revenge and Shield Slam

I'm on a PvE server and don't get much chance to PvP, not that many people go around flagged.
I was doing one of the grizzly hills daily and I needed to flip the ownership of the Venture Co area so I could purchase some items from the NPC and
I proceeded to mow everything down with my pally team and found that one of the dead NPC didn't disappear... as a matter of fact it had a name on it.
the poor horde player ... I didn't even notice he was there until he was dead.

for some reason I thought this was incredibly funny.

Which is why I play on a PvE server :_X

LOL "horde territory" Isle of Quel'Danas" Yeah i'll admit this one, if your name was red in this zone you were dead. LOL. I can't even count how many ally i spanked while they were trying to do dailys here. Plus i liked the ore that could be easily found here and if I was heading to a node and found an ally tapping it PEW PEW lol.

Eh?

My mains are all PvE because my roots are all on Madoran, I've got toons on a few different PvP servers, it's just always come down to Madoran has the toons I've done the most on, and I'm not going to swap mains from my druid anytime soon. What puts me off from PvP servers is the people who run around JUST to hassle others. I do gank, I have no problem getting ganked by someone my level. But when it's a roving band of 5-10 people running around skullraping people for lols, it's just as frustrating when an 80 swoops in and 1 shots a lowbie just because they're there. This is why I don't play my mains on a PvP server.

That happens a fair amount on PVP servers. It's especially funny when you're like, "Uh, WTF! Why won't this damn mob DIE?!? I've just about one-shot everything else here." Then you realize not only is it not a mob but a player, and he's like 8+ levels above you. :P Or trying to loot a stack of corpses and realize that one you can't loot isn't a bug.

Kill them all :P makes it alot more inntresting
Getting attacked by 5 players around youre lvl and surviving is a great boost when youre boored to death lvling:P

There's currently a thread on my real forum detailing where I'm leveling so that people can come gank me :P

[heyaz]

I gank just about anything I see. I'm mainly out doing dallies, so people are either interfering with the mobs I need for the quests, or I'm in Icecrown and have the pvp kill quest.

I like to camp out on the Skybreaker and just wreck as many alliance as possible. The guards have about 25k hp and are nothing.

Sometimes people like to follow me around on their flyers, if they get close enough to the ground where I can survive a fall, I blow them up mid air.

I don't get ganked much anymore. Ocassionally someone will try, but I think it's because they think my alts are follow only or are bots. I'm sure they're pleasantly surprised when they get 4x lava burst in the face.

Sometimes I will get an AOE'er though. It never works anymore though, unless we're in Wintergrasp and they have tenacity. Warriors bladestorming for 8-10k per second, forget about it. Doesn't prove anything though.
