PvP Server Mentality... Where Do You Rank?

[Deshu]

So many times I face this inner question. I will always hesitate in this situation and survey the possible choices. If they see me and run I feel that predatory instinct boil up in my veins and I want to give chase.... but if they look at me and sigh to the fact that their demise rests in my hands... I start to think of pity.

Curious what other multiboxers on a PvP server think in this situation?

"if provoked.... except if its a fucking rogue. Rogues are KOS regardless of level"

lol... true enough.

I agree with the rogue part. Too many rogues have camped me and it seems I get ganked by every one of them I see (well the good ones could just be in stealth. ). I'm new to PVP and took the approach of I won't bother Horde if they don't bother me but have since then learned that the Horde will pretty much make my existence miserable any chance they get. Those that I have left alone and even waved at called others to come kill my group. So, I vote for Red is Dead.

I actually killed a rogue today .. he was in his low 50's in ST. This was the 1st time I have actually killed someone that was well below my level in a long time. But after having my alts camped by a hunter the other day I think i am going to put those guys on my KOS list as well.

Eh.. since I'm still questing, I don't bother unless provoked. Usually it's more than one lvl 70 that provokes me, and when that happens, I fight back with the lines of Brad Pitt in The Mexican going through my head..
"Give me a good reason why I shouldn't fight... If it comes to that, someone will leave here missing an ear or not being able to fuck any more. One reason, now that you let me know what you think I'm made of."

You didn't have an option for "it depends on my mood." So i chose red = dead, that seems to fit best from what you have there.

I have always been on a pvp server, so I have encountered just about every kind of pvp scenario you can think of, for the most part, it just depends on my mood.

I have attacked higher level, better geared, and when I was outnumbered just for the hell of it to see how I would do. I did that a couple days ago in Tenaris, there was a 70 lock I killed with my ( I think they where 43 at the time and was happy they where able to do it). There was also a 45 warrior there who was hanging around gawking a little too long that I blew up for the hell of it, guards killed my group, but it was fun to see him go down. I rounded the corner in mara last night and a 70 pali was escorting a 51 mage and 47 shaman comming the other direction ( my guys are 47 now) and I unloaded on him, he bubbled and survived and they killed me, but it was fun to see how that would turn out, I like testing my progress like that.

I have ganked toons that where grey to me begging and dancing to keep from getting killed just because that is kind of annoying to me, I don't have too much respect for people that show weakness like that, beg = dead. I have killed lowbies and people my level just because I wanted to see how they would die. I am not the type to camp though. Usually I will just kill and ride away, I don't emote /spit or /rofl or anything like that. I will just kill them in a cold systematic way and carry on with my business.

Sometimes I will just ride right by people who are red. Sometimes I will stand next to them when they are fighting a mob and having a hard time, and I will help them kill the mob, then let them heal, then do a /wave and kill them just because. Sometimes I will help them kill the mob /wave and ride away. Sometimes I will kill them when they are on a mob and low on hp just to save them the repair bill they would get if the mob killed them

However, like the time a mage tried to gank me while I was fishing on a bridge, I spent most of the evening camping him until he spirit rezed. One time a druid ganked my rogue alt who was grinding timbermaw minding his own business and I logged my main and camped him until he logged an alt and asked me to stop, I told him ok, let him log his main again and ganked him one more time for good measure. But for the most part I don't waste my leveling time like that unless I'm in a mood to do so.

I usually have something to do, I don't really ever log in and think, ok, i got nothing to do, I'll just go to this zone and gank lowbies today, its usually something I do on my way to something else.

But ya, depends on my mood.

You didn't have an option for "it depends on my mood."

Ditto.

or the option "If it gives Honor it's as good as dead" but at 70 I'm not sure if a 60 gives honor...

na, doesn't matter, i'd kill em anyway unless I had something better to do then to chase him down.... boils down to mood.

I play on a PvE server so the option rarely comes up....

However. Last night I was running my guys through a Jadenar Cave and came accross a level 51 Horde drinking. He was flagged. Then he was dead.

Didn't camp him or anything stupid like that but I kinda felt bad afterward. I mean... he didn't do anything... right? But then I got to thinking... fucker was flagged. Why was he flagged? He either flagged himself in hopes of PvP action... or he what? There is nothing to attack out in that area that would get you flagged unless it was some Alliance that was flagged.

Anywho.... bet he was thinking "WTF hit me?"

Heh, rogues are so funny now with the cheat death change.

Also I generally don't attack people. I will if they are attacking another horde or if I consider them a serious threat to me and attack me. If they attack and I don't consider them a threat usually I'll just ignore (unless it is a rogue because the chain sap/distract/etc nonsense that they pull).

I play on PVE as well, and this is my philosophy. If I see someone flagged, I assume they ganked someone of my faction, so they're toast.
