This is something that I've known about for a long time, but, it is getting to be more common now. A priest can pretty easily get you flagged.

- Priest must be /pvp. You do not.
- The Priest casts Mind Control on a mob that you are engaged with
- You're flagged and can be smacked upon by his/her lurking buddies

We /bugged this in the Beta, but it's still out there. Mind Control is a level 30 Priest skill, so be very careful if you see a PvP flagged 30+ priest around you. Hopefully, it will become enough of a problem to get fixed.

Which is why I love my PvP.

Always conflict, always fun. No real gankers, etc. and no penalty for death but time, which I use to get a group together and counter-attack.

Actually, you bring up a very good point, Dinav. In fact, in the Closed Beta, we were on a PvP server and doing this as Horde players close to Ironforge to players around level 10 in their "safe" zone. This doesn't just apply to PvE servers.

Btw, I did have a ton of fun on the PvP servers. I got kill 1000000 times in the 20's around Ashenvale and Wetlands. I made my share of paybacks in Hillsbrad in the 30's. Questing on a PvP server is not at all easy, but, can be a lot of fun. Just don't wanna do it all the time.

I'm really enjoying PvP, in fact, it's the most fun i've had in this game BY FAR, so far.

Im sooo happy i went to a pvp server.. so much fun fighting during quests, fighting for camps, having to have good team mates. I'm 35 and i havent really been bothered by any of the cons so far. Corpse camping happens but its so ez to get away from an deven if you dun get away first try... no penalty, who cares.

It's also fun being able to go to tarran mill whenever your bored for a good fight with no speculations.

(Dark has gotten my ass killed 10+ times in the last 24hours!)


Haha but it's all fun. It's fun to just go out into a field and pick off higher levels(..and lower) while waiting for Dark to show up.

And somehow, our guild is about the exact equivalent to Manaknights. I like being with select highbees with scattered lowbies and a lot of...midbees?

I'm on a pve server and I get plenty of pvp when I want, and none when I don't. Lots of battles at the little towns, looking forward to defending/attacking capitol cities.... having fun minding my own business when i don't feel like pvping..

The priest thing is pretty dumb and will probably get fixed when enough people whine about it on the official forums.
