Important notes: I'm a lvl 40 tauren shaman, I play on Windrunner, and I don't PvP all that much. Before last night, I had probably dueled four times, and I don't think I had ever killed someone in PvP.
Last night: d/l patch, start playing. I go to Booty Bay to kill Bloodsail Pirates just north of town. Pirates are sparse, and a lvl 41 Human Pally (or warrior, can't remember) stopped by, and we're both trying to get the guys as they pop up, and while we were waiting, I challenge him to a duel. Rocked his world. Then later he challenged me when I was out of mana. After a LONG duel, he beats me. Then instead of bowing gracefully, he spits on me and proceeds to laugh and point at me. Whatever. So I duel him again later - with full mana - and I pwn him quickly. Then someone I can only assume is his friend stops by (lvl 45 Dwark warrior). They're killing the pirates together. His friend has PvP on. Long story short, I accidentally right-clicked on him while he was standing in my way, and even though I didn't hit him, my PvP flag went up, and they both rocked my world.
So I go back after my flag wears off, and I am VERY careful now. I try duel the guy I had dueled before, but I can't because he has his flag on (see, I PvP so little, I had no idea you couldn't do this). Then two more guys show up, and all 4 are killing the same pirates, so I assume they're also friends. They both had their PvP flags on and they're doing their best to get me to click on them when I'm trying to click on pirates.
They got me again, and then proceeded to kill me two more times while camping on my body. At one point, a guild mate logged on, and I beg him to come all the way there from Ogrimmar to help me get away. I managed to get out by myself, and now I'm mad, so I figure it's time to start learning about PvP. I recruit a lvl 45 Orc mage in Booty Bay, and run back. We did alright for awhile, but were eventually driven back into town. So I'm done with PvP, and I'm waiting for my PvP flag to wear off.
I'm running around town, and Alliance guys are attacking me. I figure they're just trying to kill me before the guards kill them. Nobody gets me, so I'm just running around trying to stay near the guards. Now granted, I'm laughing at the guys after they die, but I had finished my Bloodsail Pirate quest, and was planning on going far away after I get done. After about 10 minutes, I realize (again, I had never PvP'd extensively before) that them hitting me is keeping my flag from turning off. So now I'm ticked. As long as they're around messing with me (and at this point there were groups of as many as 5 coming at me at a time) I'm never going to get out. Finally, there were like 10 guys surrounding me about to attack, and I was able to recall out of there to Ogri. That was it. Done for the night.
So this morning, I log on to check my two auctions. I see I've got mail, so I walk from the Inn to the mailbox outside the bank. As I'm getitng my mail (mind you, I get up at 6:00 local time, so I'm not totally coherent), I realize I'm getting attacked. I look down, and there's a note that Ogrimmar is under attack. FVCKING OGRIMMAR?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Plus, having never turn PvP on manually, I thought it would go off over night. Nope. I reincarnated (mind you, I have like 2 minutes to mess around and then I have to get ready for work), and if I hadn't been able to stay away at that point, I would be talking about how I was not going to play WoW again.
So, for those of you that are not going to read that, here is my summary for what I want Blizzard to do:
- If I haven't actually typed in /PvP, don't allow me to get tricked into PvP. If nothing else, at least have a different trigger that puts you in that state rather than full PvP immediately, but if I'm trying to just finish a quest, I don't want to be bothered by people purposely trying to get in my way. I mean, what if I'm lvl 45, trying to kill Tethis, and a lvl 60 human just decides to get in my way. What's to stop him from being a d1ck?
- If I am BEING attacked but not actually attacking someone, my 5 minutes should be counting down. The only way this could be possible is if I'm in a town trying to stay away from people, because you couldn't freaking run away from people outside of a town for 5 minutes and not die.
- If I log off for more than 5 minutes, turn off my fvcking PvP flag. I shouldn't have to go through what I went through this morning.
- Oh, and turn off this fvcking PvP honor system b.s. in non-PvP worlds. It's a nightmare. A BATTLE IN THE MIDDLE OF OGRIMMAR?!?! That's insane. It's completely out of control when I can't even log on for 2 minutes to check my auctions.
