How to deal with jerks

[:1]I've got a level 24 warrior on an RPPVP server, and its great fun. I enjoy fighting off the raids and such. Everything is pretty much consensual: don't fight if you don't want it.

Recently, I was of a high enough level to go to Duskwood. Every day, one particular level 37 hunter ganks. Every. Single. Person. For hours. It makes the game no fun at all, its just about being a jerk to him, obviously.

Now, as much as I pity the fact he has no friends and no girlfriend to speak of, it's pretty tedious dying in three seconds, and corpse-running for four minutes.

Is there any way to deal with this sort of stuff, or do you actually have to let them win and leave the area until they go away?

Chris|||You might want to read up on WoW's definition of griefing under their punishment policy. (I would link it for you, but I can't get the official page to load for some stupid reason). It sounds to me as if that qualifies, and if so, that's a punishable offense.

Get screenshots and report him. The worst that happens is they say there's nothing they can do. But you might be able to make your server a better place if they do take action.

Good luck!!!|||don't play on a pvp server.|||Quote:

First off, Don't criticize down to the point where you're verbally insulting his social life. Secondly, with that kind of attitude, might as well go back no the non-PvP servers. What's with these people in this game, everytime they get ganked one time or lose to a specific class during a duel, or miss the looting, or die because some skill had too long of a cooldown, always post in the forums hoping that it will make everything better. PVP IS DANGEROUS. DEAL.|||Quote:

I'd say go back to a PvE server. You obviously can't take being ganked and if just one person is getting to you then just wait until you get higher and more people start to gank you when you're trying to finish a quest.

If you have to resort to personal insults because you were killed, or camped, or griefed then you're a little to fragile to be playing open PvP. People that post and cry about this thing only get griefed even more.|||I don't understand all this virtriol guys, he's been in the same place for 4 days, for hours at a time. It's no challenge, he's just there to grief other people.

I'm not whining. I was ganked 10+ times, along with everyone else. I'd like to understand what the point is, and, preferably, have a way to fight back/solve the problem. That's why I asked the question.

Getting slammed for little reason isn't usually the sort of "helpfulness" I expect from these forums...

Chris|||First off, are you in a guild? If so, then my 2 cents is to get a guildie that is like lvl 45-60, insanely bored, and feeling rather mean. Have that guildie go to this spot, and RAPE the hunter over and over again. Give him a dose of his own medicine. If you aren't in a guild, then let people know in General Chat that there is a bunghole ganker pickin on low lvls in the area, and watch how fast your fellow peeps rush to the aid. Gankers are very easy to fix by ganking them right back. Sad that it comes to that, but some people only learn when they are put into the fire for themselves.|||Problem is that most people who play on a PVP server have ganked others at one time in their life. The lack of sympathy comes because people may think PVP = Kill any Horde/Alliance. They are right to some extent (I play on a PVP server and get ganked more often than not).

I live with it as that is the nature of the beast although I have never found anyone give a satisfactory answer to the fact that someone who is 20 levels higher than you (or more) gets off his horse, kills you in two seconds, then corpse camps you for half an hour (which happened to me lol! :surprise: )

It is a PVP server but where is the challenge in that? In order to deal with the gankers you have to let people know in General Chat about the hunter. Trust me - more than enough people will come looking to gank back!!!!

Don't let it get you down. Eventually you'll be high enough level to get your own back - just make a note of the name ;)

Good luck and enjoy the game! :happy14:

Some people say they do it because it happened to them. Other people say they do it to impeed the leveling process so the opposite faction doesn't have as many 60's. I do it to lowbies to cause grief or frustration. Griefing is an art form really, and it's part of the game.
