Quote:On the other hand, I have noticed a pretty disturbing trend. Nobody wants to PvP in a situation that nobody (I could generalise and just say "the Alliance", but that's only because I haven't witnessed the Horde do this, but I'm also one to admit that a tree falling in the forest does make a sound even when I'm not there) is willing to do any world PvP if there's the possibility of risk.
This has always been true. I've been playing on pvp servers since WoW was released in Nov 04, so believe me, this is very very old.:)
So last year I flipped that concept on its head. I rolled my first Hunter and decided that to attack anything that was red. Because the old world is mostly empty, this didn't happen often. But when it did happen, I never paused to check the level: There was a very surprised +5 rogue that got kited all over Ashenvale to his death, and a party of 70s that must have laughed at my little viper sting before crushing me.
And then there are the much more entertaining abuses of power: A level 70 paladin I know was recently out leveling mining. Whenever he spotted a lowbie, he would chase them down, drop his fire festival statue, point at the lowbie and point at the statue. If the lowbie danced, he'd cheer for them, mount up and ride off. If the lowbie ran...
