The Problem With PvP
I've been enjoying the game a lot and I'm told I've been levelling up quite quickly too.

Unfortunately, I mistakenly started on a PvP server. I think the idea of players fighting each other is one that should be encouraged because competition is a healthy thing, but as I've been finding out over the last day or two, there are enormous problems with the whole idea:

The problem is that every player can attack every other player, and so we come to those inconsiderate morons at level 80 who run around attacking newbie areas and generally every other player they come across that they can attack. This wouldn't essentially be a problem if these players killed their target and moved on to the next one. NO, they will sit by the corpse of their victim or the nearest graveyard and kill them again and again and again and again. This has happened to me 3 times in the last week.

GameMasters are content not to do anything about it because "well, you chose it when you created your character on a player vs player server. Have a guild member help you out". This is not good enough. My level 80 guild friend is as likely to enjoy himself while escorting me around all over the place as I am getting killed every 20 seconds for half an hour until the idiot who's harassing me gets bored and leaves. Let's not forget to mention that by the time this happens, I have a fortune to pay to get my equipment repaired that I might not be able to afford. There's also my health. Assuming the jerk who's been harassing me is near my level, I might try fighting him off, using health potions in the process to try and stay alive. If, by the time he's decided to find something better to do with his life, I've used all my health potions, how am I supposed to get them back when I can't even afford to repair my equipment so I stand at least a fighting chance of getting some npc kills under my belt?

My point is that all you fools who think its fun to "gank" weaker plays should be removed from the game servers PERMANENTLY. You are in NO WAY contributing to the quality of the game at all.

Tonight while playing, I was looking around for a new quest to do, when out of nowhere, such a player stunned me and killed me before I could blink. My guild has explained the idea behind such an action to me, but I still don't understand. What do you inconsiderate wastes of space gain from wiping out a player 40 levels lower than you? It can't be honor points because, just as you don't get experience points for killing something substantially lower level than yourself, you also don't get honor points. THERE'S NO REASON FOR IT

I also don't accept "it makes me feel good". You want to feel good? Hire out a porno for the night and leave others to their business.

After the 12th time I was killed in this fashion tonight, I logged off and am very seriously considering cancelling my subscription and destroying my DVDs and everything I have that's even remotely related to the game and forgetting about it entirely.

I wonder what it would do to Blizzard's financials if everybody who's ever subscribed that feels the way I do were to do that? Lets just say that if WoW ceases to exist, it's on you filthy lowlife over-privileged players who made everyone's experience complete shit.
