Quote:I don't know why people would spend time ganking and camping people significantly lower level than them; the handful of times I did it, it was either part of a server-wide world PvP thing (back in the day prior to the honor system, two full raid groups of Horde comprised of three different guilds took over Stranglethorn Vale for three hours) or a vengeance camp. I thoroughly enjoy ganking in terms of people within about five levels of me, and it's downright hilarious when someone gets ganked by me, gets their main, and then consequently has their main camped by my alt (who is currently lvl 63) and has to call for help. But going out of my way to camp lvl 30s without prior provocation? Sounds boring to me, unless it's somwhere like Nessy's where I'd be trying to provoke a big fight.
I think we are meaning different things by "ganking". If you mean killing someone in a relatively fair (within 5 levels) fight, and not corpse camping except in exceptional circumstances, then I don't think there are many here who would disagree that this is what you sign up for when you roll on a PvP server. It is also not what people are complaining about, and there is at least one lurker who would not call that "ganking", but just plain "killing" in PvP. Ganking is about killing the powerless, those who are vastly lower level, or killing people after they rez repeatedly, or other utterly unequal contests. It's as much about PvP as schoolyard bullying is about competitive boxing.
What is seen as immature is making someone significantly lower level than you miserable by not only killing them, but camping them, and generally wrecking their day when there is no reason except outright malice to do so. This is the behaviour that you seemed to be defending as being perfectly mature. It is allowed, since PvP servers are open season, but it is not mature. If it sounds boring to you, that's because it is boring. It's only interesting to immature players who want nothing more than to feel superior without the threat of someone skilled showing that they really aren't.
