So, I've been playing on this server recently and I've noticed that there's quite a few high level Horde running around vanilla leveling zones. Most of the time they just ignore me when questing but a not-insignificant number of times, they've one-shotted me and then proceeded to camp. I've never had that happen on the Outland realm and was just wondering if the Horde community on Medivh is really as bad as it seems to me right now.
This happens on every realm.
Icecrown is 10x worse.
So, they actively discourage Alliance from leveling to cap by doing this and then get bored because there aren't any high level alliance queuing for BGs? Meanwhile all the new players who wanted to play Alliance either quit, leave to a different realm, or switch to Horde to get a better leveling experience. Sounds like a vicious cycle.
They are obviously helping out an alt they are leveling nearby and just decided to kill you. Do you really think they are running around low level zones where players are even more scarce than in bgs to find "pvp"?
When I was leveling my HORDE characters every f*cking allys that were a few lv's above me, almost 90% of the time atacked me for no reason, even when they were the same lv as me but 2 vs 1 against me... So let say this is normal, but when 2-3 dumb f*cks atack u for no aparent reason and they are 5 levels above u do u know what happens? I log on with my 70 lv and clear the f*cking zone of those f*cktards - normally I look only for the sh*theads that killed me, but sometimes a random lowbie may get my rage too... So don't think this is only on your side, because the same happens on horde side aswell... I was even too kind, just looking for those that killed my alt, but others may clear the entire zone, just because of that 1 as*hole who is 5-6 levels above u and kill u for no reason...
Just to point out that this is 90% of the time - the other 10% I helped allys and they helped me which was great and shows that not everyone is an as*hole... And yes - this happens on every server so stop complaining and deal with it...
To all the Horde trying to justify their actions here. My issue isn't with getting ganked. That's to be expected. If it's a member of the other side who is up to 5 levels above you, that's still fine as long as they aren't camping your corpse for the next 30 minutes, because you're actually worth honor to them and can actually put a fight depending on your class and your gear level. What I have issues with are the people who think it's great fun to camp your corpse while their level appears as a skull to them. I've never seen that leveling Horde so it's only Horde characters that I see doing this. Hence why I posted this thread.
There are great players on Horde side too and there have been times where they and I have mutually helped each other. But the point is that too many high level Horde are venting their boredom by actually griefing lowbie Alliance. It's not a matter of a single kill while traveling the road somewhere. It's where they camp your corpse waiting for you to pop up again.
For the ones complaining about horde ganking...as an altoholic always lvling different chars hordes, i have been ganked numerous times!! From killing my escort 2 times ratchet...druid camping tarren mill for 4 hours...not even mention STV and the usual hunter there killing lowbies.
Every faction sees the other as the boogeyman's but like someone said, it is a vicious cycle...you get camp for hours then when some get 70 they come back to lowbies areas to return the favour. Saying that you never saw alliance camping hordes...you never been STV or Tarren.
I try my best to avoid STV, Arathi but still get ganked from a random 70 in ratchet or mining Tanaris...douchebags come in all flavour, hordes and allies.
