Wondering if you ever learn the hordes language. It would be nice to tell people you are not going to kill them. You go down the road and a guy a bunch of lvls over you kills you. I mean what is the point. If you could threaten for money or have fun with it, but seriously it's just pointless to have some **** kill. You go respawn and wasted everyones time.

10 lvl mob is way different than a 10 lvl upper pc. The mob will lose interest and go back. Also you can see the mob and run around it. All pc i ran into go out of their way to kill you.

I really posted this to see if you can ever talk to horde since it's just all a scramble right now. Since you can't talk to them, it loses some of fun of pvp.

I find it a bit disconcerting that I can't speak with Tauren... obviously, there are Night Elves that can do so.

It would be nice if I could at least eventually acquire the ability to converse with my fellow druids in Nighthaven.

Stango.. it sounds to me like PvP is not for you. That's part of the excitement.. going through contested or enemy territory, you know you could be in danger at any time.

Also... I don't think level should matter. That's one gripe I have with the honor system. I do think it's extremely neccessary to prevent ganking, but on the other hand, I don't think it should grant free passage through contested or enemy territories.

For example, say I'm a level 6 orc warrior, and I make the journey to Night Elf territories. If I pass some alliance members on the way, should they just let me pass because they don't want a "dishonorable" kill? Meanwhile, since they let me pass, I'm able to get to the Night Elves' newb zones and start stalking youngins. But I guess you can't have everything, and the honor system is kind of a neccessary "keep-em-honest" tool.

Heh.. it appears that I got a bit off track in my post. Sorry. :P

I do believe we need some clear cut ways to offer a challenge to a player from the other side (that being the Alliance scum...hehe).

I was in Ratchet and stood in front of a night elf who was making the normal gestures and taunts, etc. He was lvl 21 and I was 20...but I was ready to work him. I wanted him to attack me so bad...and I had no way to straight up say, let's boogie.

They need a challenge kind of like a duel, but that does not mean duel. A way to pop a box up that asks if he wants to fight for his life and realm...that kind of thing. He answers yes, both players are instantly put into PVP mode and can fight.

Instead, he did all of his gestures as I stood waiting. I eventually ran off...no sooner had I left then he attacked a level 18 guy who was already flagged. Stupid elf...I think he was on a neverending quest to save his boyfriend. (grapes are fun).

Anyway, even between enemies who do not speak the same languages, there are ways to communicate.

PvP is for me not Pkiller. If you gain something from it, i can see it. You don't gain a damn thing the dead guy just respawns and goes on the way. It's just inconvince for everyone. Atleast you could make them give you something to let them live and then kill them anyways if you want.

Especially in ashenvale which is closer to the main horde but is closet to the nightelves. I suppose undead have the same difference. You don't need to take out the lower lvls anyways because the guards will take care of them for the most part.

A funny thing about learning other languages... BLizzard did alot to help people with that problem. The emotes can save your life at times.

I remember that I was a night elf leveling at around level 16. A level 23 Troll came up to me while i was in a battle. I didnt want to die so I stoped fighting and used the /bow function. She then Blew me a kiss. and I laughed and started fighting my Tiger again. The Troll left and I informed everyone else that a level 23 Troll was in the area and that they sould be carefull. A few people got together and hunted the troll. She Didn't last long as she was in Alliance Territory. Sorry for her but hey thats the game.


As for the pointless thing of PvP at any level this game is set up with 2 Opposing factions. Alliance and Horde. They have an undying hate for eachother. both sides set up Raids and both sides will try to kill eachother. It is set up to war on eachother and enjoy doing it. If you want a game with different factions that dont war against eachother then go to FFXI where there is different factions but u r not at war with them. and no real PVP.

Once again I don't really care if you kill me, but i don't find the point. Yea we are at war, but are we in the army? Let the guards take care of single guys getting too close. If someone is pissing everyone esle, then get after him. If there was a reward or loss for killing someone then there would be a point. At the moment there is only a punishment for the higher lvl killing the lower lvl beside waste of time of both sides.

I wished they make a free for all server so all the ********* can go there.

They do. It's called PvP.



And, uh, you do know we ARE part of the army, right?

Free for all would be like in AC. Everyone can go kill all the newbs they want. I don't think you join the army. You are just an aventure helping people and yourself.

PvP isn't a free-for-all. If you're in friendly-controlled territory, you're free to play just like PvE.


Right?
