Got a warning for...Follow

On the off chance that the OP really did not understand the issue -

When Blizzard originally designed WoW, they designed it for two types of people. Those who like playing videogames with other people in a cooperative manner against computer-generated opposition, and those who like playing videogames with other people in a competitive manner against live opponents. They separated these groups of people, giving each their own servers and wrote the rules to encourage these types of play - on PvE servers, almost all actions against players of the opposite factions are against the rules except in designated areas, while on PvP servers almost all actions against players of the opposite faction are encouraged. They very clearly wrote down the guidelines and rules for playing in each type of realm, and allowed the players to choose what their preferred playstyle would be. To avoid the issue of people getting gear in a non-competitive environment to use in a competitive one, they banned all transfers of characters between the two.

You're playing on a server in which, outside of battlegrounds and arenas, factions are not required to interact. Insisting on interacting with people of the opposite faction, even if you're perfectly happy with a PvP response, is simply against the rules. You got caught breaking the rules in both letter and spirit, you got warned, and you're upset because you're playing the wrong version of the game and don't like those rules. Boo hoo. Cowboy up, go roll on a PvP server, or if you don't want to waste all that time and energy leveling another character, put yours up for trade, buy a new one on ebay, or hire a power-leveling service. Oh, those are against the rules too? Doesn't seem like the rules mean so much to you anyway.

If you want so badly to play in a PvP environment, start over on a PvP server. Get up to level 70 with your gear in a place where it takes twice as long to accomplish anything because of the other faction. Earn your new 70. Then grief as much as you like, and see how long it lasts. If your poor level 70 warlock means so much to you, reread the rulebook and play the game by the rules.

While that is the logic... I have PvE folks in my Battlegroup, I have been in AV with PvE'ers for almost a year now.....I have leveld a long forgoten mage since the openeing of TBC, and ya know what? there is no competive envinroment anymore(well some but not anyting thing to speak of). I recently left a PvP server mage named "MrBones" outside southshore for about an hr while i ate, I came back and was shocked to se myself just sitting on the ground. Heck even STV has become Carebare central. so if the envinroment dose not have that compation(i even saw a duo horde/alliance killing gorrillas togaterh like good carebares) why stop players that made the "Wrong" choice from joining a new server. My sugestion for this is comming to a close, I would have seen it wize for blizard to enable transfers about after a month after TBC came out, but preventing them from being done past say... May.

My desire to have carebares join me on my server is only selfish, I need some new meat. With the new PvP reward system i find it eazer to get PvP gear on a PvP server than my buddies say it is on good old Surmar(PvE server i once played on)

Lol - I think you just haven't waited long enough. Every time they open a new PvP server, it's pretty much a carebear environment until the high levels start getting bored, then the ganking becomes non-stop. The same effect happened across every server with the opening of BC, and now you are beginning to see level 70's camping all the good questing areas, as well as cruising through STV one-shotting everything. At least on my server they are...

Oh, and try getting that first piece of the Karazhan key quest done in Deadwind Pass - if you're lucky and your faction is the one currently trying to run Kara, you're golden, otherwise you're SOL

I do not question that once TBC content becomes "OLD" that the Gank fest will pickup again, acutaly thats part of my plan, level my mage to 60 when folks get tire of the oulands content they will return to Azaroth and start up the old games, but then I will just go to the outlands.

Absolutly, but my point is that RIGHT NOW PvP are not as bad as when you first ran them(with the exception of DEADWIN, and the random level 70), I know they will go back, and likely be worse. As for a NEW PvP server, sure thats got to be hell, but play on a older established one and you might as well be PvE (in some zones).

I play on Tichondrius. If it's red, it's dead. Only exception is if I know I can't win. I gank anything in contested territory. If it has a pet tanking for it, I kill the pet so they take durability damage. I kill quest NPCs in towns like Southshore and Refuge Point. Currently I'm working on taking out a Griphon Master without getting owned by the 2 mobs it spawns. I have quite a few friends just like me. The point? Not every server lets you get along.
