I don't kill low levels because I consider it a lil D move, but nonetheless, I don't get the complaints either.
I have several 80s and avoiding being ganked is totally doable. First, we have a teleport to HS location on warmane website. Then you simply avoid that area and try to level elsewhere. Or go do some dungeons. The WoW world is big enough for you to not spend an eternity in Hellfire peninsula. If you got there before lvl 70 and you got not money to fly mount, again your problems son.
Before flying, I also carry my 80 to whatever zone I go level just in case I need to kill someone who ganks me. But I generally stay away from pvp-intensive zones like STV. Going there and expecting not to be attacked is like putting your hand in a lion's mouth, expecting not to bite.
On some leveling journeys to 80s, I've been only killed 2 times or so. It's not that hard, it's playing your surroundings and knowing what to avoid.
IF someone wants a full-pve experience they should join a PVE Server. I like the pvp experience, this is why I play here.

That's the thing, there used to be a PvE server (from what other players said, i wasn't here) and that choice is not available anymore. In terms of client quality, devs work and overall moderation Warmane is possibly the best WOTLK private server (way better than official also), so its normal that people that don't appreciate PvP would like a PvE option. The fact that people are asking for it, is good news for the server. Now if there should be one, or not, that's all up the Management of the server.

Its no longer the 2000s where each kill and gank was a story, its 2024 and its simply a boring waste of time with no real emotional investment or interest.

Even in Icecrown, and not even talking about low level people. I totally understand some healthy PvP when you're fighting for some mines/herbs. However i was trying to do Son's of Hodir pre quests yesterdays with my friend. We had to give up because there were 2 LvL 80 Horde, a Warrior and a Paladin, Possibly with ICC25 Gear level (35k+ HP) ganking everyone that entered the cave. We are fresh 80's and we couldnt dent more than 30% HP. The guy killed me in about 3/4 hits and im a Plate user.
I really think the Warmane community is a special type of community. There are some Cool people, but then there are a bunch of Griefers that are making content outside of instanced content unplayable.
I already donated a few Euros cause i think the server is overall enjoyable, but i don't know how much more i can take with excessive ganking, its really affecting my will to play the game. There's just way too much people with lack of empathy playing this game, just seems like everyone is angry or something.

If world PvP is too cruel for you then buy insta-80 or level up using dungeon finder until you hit max level and live in Dalaran.
Problem solved.

I don't discriminate between level 10 and level 60 players; I enjoy taking out lower-level opponents and watching them get frustrated. Regardless of their level or gear, if they're my enemy, I'll bring them down. They might switch to other characters just to ask me to stop, but that only encourages me to bully them more. Doing what makes me happy is what matters most.

Me, low lvl 80 being chased immediately after landing from flying knocked down and killed, get res sick to not waste time walking from Sholazar Basin portal to Un'Goro just to be killed by a hunter who immediately opens on me. In Un'goro you can't get back to your body as you have to get the portal to Sholazar Basin. So had to res sick again go Dalaran > Sholazar Basin> Un'goro. Thanks for wasting my 15 min to finish a quest you toxic community. Especially Allies.

It's not about toxicity; World of Warcraft operates on this dynamic. Alliance and Horde are adversaries, so expect conflict. If you're frustrated, address it with Blizzard—they designed this game. It's not Warmane's fault.

What people are describing is not 'open world PvP' but cowardly ganking. People who tend to lack actual PvP skill and don't want to do BGs (or in TBC+ doing arenas) will take their higher level and just run around making other people's lives miserable.
Other games and even other servers solved this issue by having '60PvP' servers where only people who are level 60 (max level) are hard-capped to always be PvP flagged (even in cities) so that they have to always keep an eye out when going afk.
If people want actual PvP on a fair playing field they'd play FPS games or MOBA games or other similar competitive titles. WoW is not really meant to be 'comptitive' in the traditional sense, but other MMOs (like Guild Wars 2 and FF14) have done the co-op aspect much better IMHO.
Having a power advantage (better gear) in PvP was always kinda a stupid thing to me to those who want actual competition. But it is what it is and this is at the heart of WoW's progression. The Warmane devs already got a great deal of negative critique about setting Onyxia as a PvP server instead of a PvE one, then they proceeded to put necessary useful fish pool/spawns only in highly-trafficked PvP hotspots like Stranglethorn Vale and literally not anywhere else in the entire world of Azeroth. That's the level of management we're dealing with here.
PvP servers are also a great incentive for people to buy gear rather than earn it. Doesn't seem to matter that half the people who were playing Onyxia already nope'd out but they seem to want to squeeze as much as possible while they can. Such a shame.

Best thing is to find a guild that will help you, PVP is a part of the game especially world PVP, sometimes you'll encounter people who just camp you. Find a guild that can help you out in those instances. I've tried both horde a alliance and it happens on both sides.
