Ganking

I spent a fair amount of time this past weekend playing World of Warcraft. With a couple of my characters I decided to venture a little further from home. This adventuring took me into contested areas. Ok so with this knowledge I expect to run into some players from the opposing faction. And with these encounters I expect to get killed by them, since I have a relatively low level character to be wandering with.

Now I don't might the occasional PVP related death, but what I really can't stand is the players with a good 10+ levels on you who insist on ganking you every time they see you. And worse is when it is the same player over and over again (watching over your corpse for you to ensure it is safe until you return so s/he can kill you again). What is the point for them, it is absolutely no challenge for them to kill you, it is just irritating to you.

Come off it you stupid kids! Let us lower level character go about our simple tasks in peace. Is it really necessary to stab some guy in the back as he is minding his business killing random monsters. If you are going to attack, at least have the decency to do it while we aren't occupied with a monster or recovering our health/mana.
