4th day camped

[Majestic_Clown]

Just to remind of a HUGE point, alliance or horde who gank you and actually say somethingt to you like "I LOV U" or something like that (i cant remember the exacts) you can report them for body camping and communication to you cross faction, as direct communication cross faction IS against the rules and if keeps doing it over a few hour period then ne might get suspended

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.

I was getting most of the resists in my 30s against 70s, I was able to kill a 70 in my mid 40s.

I've killed many with BOSS/Skull as their level. Not sure what their exact level was but it was more than 9 levels.

I regularly begin counter-ganking scrub 70s with my caster groups starting at 55-58. PVP != PVE.

I've killed many of +10 in level people. I think my first 70 kill was 36-42 some where in that range. I forget! In my video I killed quite a few I beleave, been a while since I've watched them off here XD

I have a confession to make...

I once used my 5 level 60-something shamans to camp 2 level 30-something draenei in STV and into Booty Bay for, oh i dunno, an hour to 2 hours.

Originally I just wanted to kill them once in retaliation of a lowbie they were tag teaming. It was when they started spitting on me and emote insulting me that I decided to crack open a beer and execute an unnecessary amount of street justice. Fortunately they stopped spitting on me an hour or two into the corpse camping so I hearthed away.

Many innocent booty bay guards died that day. May they rest in peace.

PvP has a resist cap. PvE does not (at least, I do not believe).

My warlocks were able to kill a level 70 at the tender age of lvl 49. (resisted some dots, but not enough)
They were not, however, able to kill a level 66 mob in outlands at level 55. (almost total resists)

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.

partly true.

I rolled alliance on my server - akama , which is PvP and home to such great multi boxing teams as First-Fourth Rock , the Fembots, my own groups none of which are 70, and actually a few more - met a new one last night from Team RCA guild, 1 pally and 3 troll shaman.

Anyhow, at one point i made some alliance alts to get some white kittens and other good stuff from the ridiculously cheap alliance auction house. The rules for this sort of thing are as follows.

you ARE allowed to have both horde and alliance on the same PvP server provided you do not do the following

- use the account of one faction to find and harass/camp a member of the other faction (this is the big one that relates to this problem)

- use the account to set up honor farming sessions between guilds (who the hell would do this)

- manipulate the game economy (you can buy kittens for yourself, but start selling them on the horde auction house and get ready for a perma ban)

all of these violations are temp or PERMA bans, up to blizzards discretion. people have worked both auction houses using the neutral AH to make massive amounts of gold and recieved PERMA BANS...with NO WARNING! reason? "manipulation of game economy"

the reason i know this is because i was farming scholomance for the ace of portals and trying to buy it for my friend for a while, when all of the sudden it was on the alliance AH for ridiculously cheap. Before i transferred the item i read up on the issue to make sure i wasn't asking for a ban. it turns out that giving it to myself or guildies is ok, re-selling is "manipulting the game economy". and why not? i could have flipped 1000's of gold if it was "legal", i could check both AH at once.

sooo after picking up some alliance starting zone gear, a few kittens and an ace of portals i gave all of my spare stuff to a dwarf hunter in booty bay before deleting my accounts. the best part was when he said "why are you giving this to me" and i responded "because i hate you" , then "good bye alliance" in trade chat and DELETE DELETE DELTE!

P.S. : the way to do this is to make a human rogue, swim to booty bay, learn stealth because you hit level 2 and there's a trainer there, sell your clothes to yourself on the Neutral AH for 500 gold, and go to town. I had a human pally in stormwind getting kittens, a draenei shaman in the exodar checking their wonderful AH, and my rogue in booty bay....good times ;(

sorry bud , i mis-read this. you can't do it on the same account, but you are allowed to do it on 2 account. most definitely illegal to do it on one, my bad :}

[Yesh]

That's definitely something that blizz will handle, like Jorai said.

PvP has a resist cap. PvE does not (at least, I do not believe).

I think you mean Spell hit (cap) where spell hit when "capped" is 99% max in PvP/PvE environments.

Yay for informational tables:



At level 70, 12.6 spell hit rating is equivalent to 1% spell hit. So, since as of right now the highest mob is level 73... a caster would need (untalented) 202 hit to cap. If you're quite a few levels below your target... you will always have at least a 1% chance of landing a spell. Aka: you will have the minimum chance of hit against PvE targets at least 11 levels higher than you, and PvP targets at least 16 levels higher.
