I usually don't gank low levels but one time I camped some guy for hours .
I do not see any point in wasting my time with killing low level players. I mostly play PVP, but as for me, what is the fun in killing low levels who give you nothing in return? There are better things to do than being an a-hole.
This should be seen from the psychological perspective of prior-lived experiences. Even if you're the typical nice guy, if you got unfairly ganked by the rival faction several times while leveling up, chances are you're gonna feel like returning the favor once you reach lvl 80 and gear up a bit. When that blood-thirst dries up after killing 10, 20 or 100 lowbies after creating a little bit of a chaos situation in some areas , that player may stop doing so and, who knows, maybe even helping those lowbies whenever he runs across them.
The second case scenario would be for those who just love to troll around and mess with people randomly for no reason at all. They just enjoy performing this activity and feeding up from the player's frustration.
The third case, would be those trying to bring 80's enemies at their current location, using lowbies as a bait.
In short, World PvP is a healthy practice for the game. Sometimes it might be abusing and frustrating for the victim, but it keeps the world alive and provides lots of funny moments and challenging encounters, as well as memorable fights whenever 80's from both factions try to defend their respective low level comrades, movie-like. It all comes down to a player's attitude, such as in the popular shooting game DayZ, you can either be a hero or a bandit.
On a server like Lordaeron its simple. Basic rules of being max level for me are
1. Help all leveling players of your faction
2. Kill all players leveling on the opposing faction.
Why?
You're hindering the progress of the opposing team. WoW is simple as Red Vs Blue. The more time spent leveling the longer it'll take them to get to 80, the longer it takes for "reinforcements" to arrive. Especially if it's a PvP class (Hunter/Rogue). On servers with high rates, that player will be ganking you in a few days.
I don't camp though, **** people who camp.
What if it was done in reverse?
Today in Frowtwolf:
Level 10 druid twink terrorizes Lakeshire, this provoked literally half a guild to go and stop him,but he kept ganking people twice or 4 times more his level.
How do you feel about this situation?
I camp campers until they logg out, then check after 30 mins to se if their back, then go camp them some more.
Because personally I dont think there's anything worse then getting camped by some a-hole and they should feel it 10 times over.
Perks of having 10 geared chars so you can counter almost every class.
-Thumbs up- for that guy, actually I find that kinda funny.
When molten was new you could spend points to get rare weps without a level req on your fresh lvl 1 hunter, and because of the "stat boost" you got on low lvl, all u needed was hit to be able to actually hit a lvl 80 person with your lvl 1 toon, I swear to god I got killed so many times by these guys, their bow fired as fast as a godanm machinegun.
Pushbacks was so huge it cancelled out the casting bar so only way to counter was instant spells.
i will ask you this " why not ?" its not bannable and you can do it,clearly the people who do it have fun doing it ....so why not?
there can be milion reasons of killing low level players: you may not like the name or the race they play (GNOMES),someone who have leveling a alt had been camped so he come on his max lv char or just having fun....so many reasons for doing it.
Depends on how good the camper is, usually they are not since they kill low lvl people but I stand on their corpse and se when their body turns into bones I just quickly turn around cam to se them, and with Crusader aura (if your paladin) they cant outrun you.
Even if you dont have any speed mount thing you can still chase them down cause in the end you will catch up, unless they jump off a cliff to desperatly get away.
It depends on the situation aswell, if he resses behind a big stone or house or tree whatever then they can get away much easyer unless your a hunter with tracking humanoids, but in these situations (if you have some brains) you go further behind that obstacle so they dont se you when they're ghosts.
Think like them, if you se a big obstacle you sure as hell dont ress out in the open (most people dont anyway), I like to set my maxcamera distance aswell so you can still se behind big obstacles while standing on the other side.
Anyways, Anything to get rid of these low lvl corpse campers.
Im sorry but in that scenario they actually have a chance to do something about it, same level pvp is fair imho (2-3vs1 isn't, but hey, still...), but when a skull lvl 80 comes to 1 shot u by coughing on you you literally stand NO chance AT ALl, 0% chance, nada.
It's not the same thing at all.
To hell with BiS twinks !
On lordaeron i kill them on both factions
IDC if i am on higher toon or what so ever, its 'tit for tat' when a BiS 19 twink with 1.5k health bar camps a level 16 guy with mere 500-600 health
because i can
Why kill lowbies when you can kill their quest givers or bankers or auctioneers?
