KoS addons ftw

as my boxing team is still in their infancy I get ganked alot. not usually by 70 acctually but by a mob of similar level players.. STV was a lot of fun :P me vs 10+ allis at times hehe what does get me tho is that then after say 30mins of some fun they corpsegank me nonstop for hours.. until i snap whip out my lvl 70 and go on a killing spree.. that's my way around it! :P the funniest thing is tho then when I'm killing like crazy i often encounter a group of allis.. of which 4 are on my KoS list and one or two aren't They must be so confused when I obliterate 4 of them and then smile and wave byebye to the last ones standing :P

I caused my own gank one time lol..

I was in that first Dranari town just after the starting area, can't remember the name for some reason. Some horde lvl 70s where there killing everything for shits and grins I presume. I thought, that's fine, I'm not flagged for pvp, so I go to turn in my quest where they are, and they are all /boggle /gasp whatever, so I selected the big main guy and did /dance with the group to play along.

A rogue strolled over and was making some gestures to one of my toons, and all the sudden she stopped dancing and whacked him with her mace lol... well, that flagged the whole group and they stomped the shit out of us, and laughed and danced. It was funny, because I looked at that toons screen and said out loud "wtf are you doing?!?! As if it was someone else in my party that screwed up lol.. I'm so used to other people screwing up that it was my initial reaction. My gf said defensively, "Who are you talking to??? " as if I was saying this to her, I pointed at the screen and said "her, she did it! , not you!" Thinking that I was about to be cut off.. lol... she gave me a funny look and walked away. I had to take a moment and think, ok, that was my fault , theres nobody here but you lol... I still don't know what prompted her to whack him with her mace? lol...

I had a similar experience the other night.

I was questing in the Ghostlands with my 3 locks when an ally lock rides up. Of course I'm not flagged and he seems to be content to watch the show.

Well a pull goes wrong and I end up with a couple adds. Im feverishly repositioning to get the adds in front of me and slam Tab on my main to get my new target. In the rush I either remember to hit my Assist key for my other 2 or I hit the wrong key and as the 3 shadowbolts left my girls two of them streaked off in the wrong direction. Oh shit... Well he got down off his mount and chain feared me until the two who flagged were dead and tried to camped me. Isay tried because having played on PvP servers for many years I always have an alt to play on just these kind of occasions so I just logged for 30 mins.

But it was totally my fault in the first place.

Possible that your character had the enemy targeted without you noticing, and in trying to type something, you accidentally sent the 'attack' keybind to that client (normally set to 'T'). So when the targeted enemy got close, your character was suddenly in melee range and bam!

I haven't quite figured out what I'm doing wrong in those situations. Its usually a flurry of activity as a result of ads respawning or pat'ing into range unnoticed, but it really sucks when I get more ads and I'm fumbling around trying to get mobs down, and for some reason, one of them decide to send a lighting bolt off to another group not even in the fight and now I have more problems. Luckily at least one always seems to survive and since they all can rez now, I haven't had to make any gy runs because of it, fun stuff

Take it in your stride dude. These guys wont f*ck with you when your 66+. I was often a target aswell but i killed many bright red lvl'd people a lot.

Personally,

I love being ganked. I love being surprised. It allows me to gain experience on how to handle things, and it distracts me from the boring grind. I agree after a few times it can get annoying, ofcourse, but it shouldn't be too hard to avoid the ganker for a while if it goes out of hand. But PvP server all the way for me really. Even if it's for the odd chance of totally pwning the ganker. But even when I fail at that, it's distraction and experience.

But to each their own really.

I completely agree with the above, I feel like they are making the game interesting for me. I also Gank on sight pretty much any red name I run across & feel that I am doing them the same favor. I am giving them the gift of World PVP. Do unto others & all that....
