Blizzard on griefing: deal with it."Drysc responded strongly to some QQ over at the forums when a poster from Kil'jaeden -- a PvP realm -- ranted about being griefed by high level characters while leveling up. Drysc's uncompromising response. Get some friends and fight back. He reasons that if players roll on a PvP server, they should expect to be griefed as part of the leveling process. It's the same philosophy that has prevented Blizzard from allowing character transfers from PvE to PvP realms. It really only makes sense. If players roll on a PvP server, they shouldn't complain about players from the opposing faction taking advantage of the fact that they're flagged for PvP. As Drysc explains, ""the rules of war are based around attacking when the odds are in your favor"". This could mean when opponents outnumber you, outlevel you, when you're low in health and/or if you're engaged with multiple mobs... the question isn't whether it's honorable or fair. It's war. In a PvP server, everything is fair game. There are no rules, and players certainly shouldn't bother sending tickets to GMs asking for any help (or sympathy). This should probably be common sense, but Drysc's somewhat provocative response is something of a surprise -- to many players a welcome one. While I'm all for etiquette (ganking a fisherman is just plain rude) and a personal sense of honor, players who roll on a PvP server know what they signed up for. wow powerleveling Shape up or ship out -- character transfers, after all, are just a click away. As someone in the thread said, I don't think the guy was QQing as much as he was asking why people are motivated to gank. Regardless, Drysc's response was very snarky but perhaps needed. I've been frustrated by ganking throughout my entire leveling experience, but I know what I was signing up for when I clicked the red PvP button. I leveled to 70, and 64, and 45, etc, on a PvP realm. Ganking was part of the routine. wow powerleveling I wasn't into Arena, or even BGs. And now that arena is so well-received, getting ganked is even quicker. Now that there's so much gear out there designed with the sole intention of killing people as efficiently as possible, it's just tiresome."
