PvP Server Mentality... Where Do You Rank?

[Skrimshaw]

I will go as far as help an ally if they look pathetic, which most do.. I have helped a group of ally do ring of blood cause I watched them wipe twice. However, I do have a list of asshats and their guilds that messed with me leveling. They are pretty much KOS. Also I was ally on my server for 2 years before rerolling horde, I founded one of the more known guilds on the server, so if I see any of them they are usually KOS too. Red is dead on the Isle without question, and I often go to the summoning stone in Hellfire and wait for Heroic teams to come by and take them out. Sometimes I laugh so hard after wiping out a Heroic team at Ramparts that my wife gives me a dirty look and comments at how evil I am. Its not that I'm evil, its just that I must fullfil my calling of bringing the Apocalypse to the Archimonde server.

When I first started on my PvP server, this being my first time PvPing where I couldn't unflag myself. I stated that, I would not bother anyone under my level, even around my level. I figure PvPing while leveling is a waste of time that could be spent getting to 70. So 10-20 no problems at all, go figure huh :P 20-30 Alot of ganking around Tarren Mill ... 30-40 range is where it all changed... My 5 man group has been killed so many times by Skulls that I can't even count how many... Now how many times my group has died from people my level and under ZERO! I guess after awhile I snapped.. and just started killing all REDs everyone of them.. even if they were way above my level.. So now.. maybe I see why I was ganked so many times by skulls. Its what you become after trying to level up and being killed so many times.. you just pass down the ganking to all the lower levels.. to get some pay back for your troubles leveling

It's my job to slaughter every gnome and nightelf that walks around on Magtheridon.

I was on my main (70 Healadin) in westfall to run some of my alts through VC, and some 65 horde hunter keeps griefing everyone, so I go and (to my surprise) kill him, and proceed to rez my alts, and go to VC. Apparantly losing to a paladin didin't set well with this hunter, and he kept rezzing and killing my alts, over and over. I didn't even have to do much, his gear must have been crappy, cause I basically just holy shocked him to death, and bubble healed through his dmg. This went on for a while, and eventually I had like 5 alliance lowbies following me around, cheering me on. It took me a while to put him on KOS, i kinda felt bad for him, but when he wouldn't stop, I camped his ass (and got a wee bit of honor too) until I got bored, and he eventually ran away to lick his wounds.

Generally though, as a healadin, I tried to stay away from world PvP, cause I was usually a sitting duck, and could never do enough damage to kill anyone. Once I get some more dps toons however, I will be doing a bit more world PvP. I don't think i'm gonna be "if its red its dead" but if they provoke me even a bit (taking resources, etc) they are gone. 3 locks and 2 paladins should kill em quick, what with 2x HoJ, and all the DoTs? I don't think they will even get a hit off...

i KOS pretty much anything unless i'm tired. Also gnomes no matter what are KOS. I will go clean across a zone to kill it.

I normally ignore Pallys, because every one bubble hearths. But last night I found a tactic. I used drain mana x4 with my locks and by the time he realized someone was wrong he had ZERO mana. No Mana no bubble hearth? I dotted him up afterwards and continued to keep is mana pool empty and he never used his bubble. So I’m assuming this worked. Stupid Dwarfs... :P

I've actually got a routine of ganking, and it's soo popular that I have people begging to join me.

Right when I finish my sunwell dailies, I send out the invites and we "clense" the island. Doesn't matter who they are. If we can attack it, we do. In town, out of town... everything dies. We make about 3-4 passes of the island... right round the time that they've all called on their friends/guildies to help. At this time, we use our Scroll of Teleportation to avoid getting camped by 20+ alliance.

We make lots of enemies. Loads of fun.

[edit]:
Oh, almost forgot... If I'm in Gadgetzan, everything dies! Including the guards and the flight masters. I own Gadgetzan. I'm the judge, jury and executioner. I love it when people try to run away from me, and go to the [dead] flight master. Ohhhh, now what!? Muahahahaa. dead. Yeah.. you lose 150 rep each time you kill a guard. I'm almost hated in Gadgetzan.

Did I say you could talk to the Noggenfogger guy? No, I didnt. For your crimes, I sentence you to death by earth binds, frost shocks and searing totems.

i'm such a damn carebear, nothing gets me more than saving an alliance's life or those rare times you wind up helping someone of the opposing faction for a good amount of time. and let's not forget the crystal cave in the un goro crater, where nude dance parties might happen and then spontaneously turn into kill fests.

this one alliance hunter transferred and my whole guild was torn up over it, her and her friends saved my friend's life more than once. and once i found her shadowmelded in that same crystal cave where multiple horde where ganking her, i lead her out and got her spared and yet another dance fest occurred. of course "she" was probably also a weird dude RPing but....it's all good!! hahaa

then again, when i get ganked or attacked i usually retaliate in a harsh way. for example if a 70 ganks my 3 locks the next thing they see is a summoning portal popping 70 rogues out like there's no tomorrow. a 70 killed them in ashenvale and was hiding behind a tree to camp them. i summoned my main through and killed him/her a good 15 times. the message is, do not f**K with my triplets :}

I only single-box on a PVP server (Human Warlock), but, I generally:

0. Always attack people on my KoS list if it's prudent to do so. If they are guard-humping or if I'm grossly outnumbered then sometimes I'll hang out nearby and wait for them to move. I do occasionally fearbomb raids outside SSC and things like that, though. Managed to drown someone who was AFK before that way.

1. Don't attack if either of us are just traveling through. I won't generally dismount to gank someone grinding something I've got no interest in, nor will I jump on people who ride past me. If I've set up camp somewhere and they stop long enough for me to finish whatever pull I'm in, or start targeting me, then it's on like Donkey Kong.

2. Attack anyone competing for things I want. If I think there's a good chance of me losing the fight, and whatever I'm after isn't really competition limited I may move on and get what I need, and *then* come back and attack them. But if it looks like they are going to initiate combat then I'll jump on them first anyhow. Initiative > any other factor in a lot of cases. Especially when you can fear someone into some helpful mobs.

3. As a general rule I don't attack greys unless otherwise provoked. I have even on occasion "helped" them by putting seed of corruption on their mobs!

Yeah... but I keep forgetting that chain-lightning will bounce to them....
