PVP Sidetracked

Maybe I just have a short attention span. I got majorly sidetracked
last night by a party of opposing faction players. Honestly there is no
sweeping general difference between Horde and Alliance players. But for
the record, these were Horde.
About a week ago, I got my Rogue to level 60, kinda interesting I
suppose since I started posting here, the day I bought the game, and
have reported progress along the way. Well my character is a 60, now
with 4 epics, and some nice blues. I am playing an alt, a Warlock, whom
I have gotten to 24 now. I have learned to make a habit of parking my
main where my alt is leveling, for backup. Especially since she doesn't
benefit from rest XP any longer.

Well as luck would have it, I was grinding and questing near the Yorgen
Farmstead near Darkshire and the entranance to STV, when a party of 4
Horde come by and gank me on their way into STV. Two Warriors, a Mage
and a Priest.

Well as luck would have it, I was about to log off. So I figured I
would take a minute and return the favor.

I didn't have to look to far, they were all at Nessingwarys Expedition.
I didn't jump them there, as it turns out, there was a 41 Warrior, a 31
Warrior, a 38 mage and a 36 Priest. I don't know if I could take them
all at once, so I follow them stealthed and pick them off one by one.
Very interesting to see them so scared and panicking.

I waited and watched until a clothie was straggling behind, a cold
blood ambush drops a clothie with one hit, so I was able to ambush and
vansish before anybody saw me.

The first time (yes, I griefed them a bit), I made the mistake of
taking out the Mage first, my reason being was to avoid his frost nova,
but after I killed him, the priest ressed him right up. So I knew I had
to kill the Priest first, but they were all itchy and nervous now, and
while fighting mobs, they put the 31 Warrior directly behind the
Priest, just standing guard. But as it turns out, I guess I can stand 6
inches from someone in there 30's without them knowing I am there. So I
ambush the Priest, turn and take a good 3-4 Sininster Strikes on the 31
Warrior, he goes down without making a move, Vansish and Sprint back
while the Mage jumps around like a fool spamming Frost nova and Arcane
explosion. I wait until things settle down (Mage is out of Mana), sap
the 41 Warrior and kill the Mage.

The Warrior comes out of the sap quicker than I though. but I was
finishing the Mage anyway. I figured since this guy is the highest, I
will give him a honest toe to toe, fighting chance. I use no special
moves, just stand toe to toe with him and swing my daggers. Well, I
don't need to tell you how that one turned out, this guy had swords
floating aound him, and was doing all sorts of Warrior tricks, but his
life was dropping fast. I will say, he died, and he died like a Man, he
never tried to run or get away.

I would let them get it all together and start partying again before I
re-wiped their group. All in all, I wiped them 3 times, and they did
manage to kill me once, I was out of Vansih and preperation, and had
nowhere to go but to fight them all, their Priest was alive and healing
and I couldn't get to him because the mage and Warriors were able to
keep me locked down.

I don't look at it as a total ganking, because they did have a chance,
and when they played perfectly, they were able to defeat me.

I only wish there was an emote for "This beating courtesy of your
previous actions against my alt". Because I know (and I can tell by
their sycronized ressurections), they they were probably on Vent, and
they were probably saying something to the effect of, "Whats this guys
problem", or "what an ass".

After I got bored, I quit for the night. I hope they had fun, I can
only assume they did, since they 4-1 jumped my alt who is 7 levels
lower than their lowest member. So I know they love some good world
PVP. Hey, I'm just doing my part to make sure everybody has a good time

It's not for everybody, it does make leveling to 60 much harder, thats
why Bliz won't let you xfer from PVE to PVP, because it is not fair to
everybody else on the server who had to fight their way to the top. But
it is not one-sided, anybody could have a main or a high level friend
who can dish out some payback, so server-wide, you never know what you
might get when you open that can up
