IN WOW, HELL LEVELS START AT LEVEL 20

Blizzard has decided to make some changes to the PvP aspect of WoW. One change in particular is this fucktacular;

-You cannot get a dishonorable kill for killing another player.

Yes, what you're thinking is correct. This means a level 60 Rogue can now camp exits/entrances to low level caves and kill anyone that comes past, and without fear of any game mechanical repercussion.

On it's own, that burns my grits. But we also must remember the bastard cousin to this change;

-You can get a dishonorable kill for killing a lower level NPC.

Which means you low to mid level characters can forget about questing in any zone where a level 60 Dickhead has just passed through.

Non-PvP servers with battlegrounds are looking pretty damn attractive to many people right about now.

Ah, for those who miss the "Good Ole Days of UO". Blizzard has brought back the Gank The N3wb mini-game

It's not exactly true, Cosmik.

Even on the PvP server you won't be attacked in a zone under your faction control. During the beta I was able to level up to 35 before starting to deal with the PvP. And obviously on the PvP server.

Anyway, the PvP ruleset is still pointless. I still have my suggested system waiting for someone to read and consider it.
