High lvl Ganking, Why?

[barron02]

I'm fairly new to this game, lvl 29 demonologist league. And i'm a fan of pvp, but I've always wondered why on earth are high lvls even allowed to kill low lvls? I mean what is the point, do high lvls get quests to gank or something? Do they get combat glory?

I know ganking must be fun, but I would much rather not get ganked at low lvls then be able to gank at high lvls. I just wanted to know why high lvls are allowed to even attack anything ridiculously low.

In my opinion I dont think high lvls should be allowed to even attack anyone 5-6 levels lower then them. I do realize that they did add an emblem to the game to stop ganking, but all that does is angers them. If you get emblemed i'm sure you want revenge.

Another thing about emblems, I dont get why you can only get 1, it kind of depleets the purpose of stopping ganking in a way. Plus after AT you dont get emblems, so to me it kind of seems like it encourages ganking in a way, if it is part of the lore or the game I would understand, but is it?

It's just dumb people being dumb.

I honestly think they should just put a 100% damage null on all players that are 4-5 levels apart.

I'm 46 and I don't gank. It's just wrong. Immoral and stupid.

i only gank when i get ganked...
and btw imps dont know how to pvp...they cant pvp 1 vs 1...if you kill someone 1 vs 1 after 5 min youll get ganked by 10 imps or a 40+*groans*...and imps think they are the best but they arent

lol'd

You think only one side does this? Amusing.

I've never played on the Imperial side in pvp, but as i've seen a ton of gankers on their side. But I cant really say who ganks more because i've never really noticed how many high lvls we have in our pvp zones, so honestly it's probobly just the same. I do hate that there are about 5 imps that just got to AT at higher lvls just to kill banners, i've been killed by the same high lvls about 10 times lol >.<! But like I said, idk if it happens to imps too.

If you are flagged and 4X, expect to be Emblem fodder or PVP food, that is all.

[barron02]

Tbh, I have no clue what your talking about above >.<. Sorry lol.

Yeah I agree there should be things implemented to prevent too much ganking.

Then again, ganking is sometimes the only way to stop players from doing certain things. For example, lets say a player and his buddies are stalking you around with a warbanner griefing you at every moment. Wouldn't it be nice to call in a high level player to mop these annoying players up? So there's two sides of the coin as always.

Some people prefer to be able to gank since it is a quick way to get PvP. If I ganked ten lowbies, I can guarantee from experience that a highbie will show up to avenge their deaths. It's a foolproof way to get engaged in quick PvP. Of course the lowbies suffer horrible deaths..

I agree and disagree at the same time.

The game shouldn't be like "Oh this guy can kill me, let me get a high level to do all the work for me" It should be, this guy is tough and I need help, lets group together. It's kind of like what they did with instances so high levels can just run low levels through everything, they just need to take that from instances and somehow apply that to pvp.

Also their are zones designated to higher levels for pvp, I dont think high levels should have to kill low levels just to spark a small 1v1 fight.

it used to be:
randomsummoner rapes at, suffering lowbies call in ppl to take care of him, masspvp engages.

or lockness has killed zonespam.

sure wasnt about 1v1 and most oldschool players didnt forget about the epicness of at pvp, the map is just too damn epic not to pvp exactly there.
