People who corpse camp lowbie players ARE social misanthropes. Their only reason for doing it is for the spoonfuls of bittersweet schadenfreude. If I'm in a bad mood, it does make me feel better to share my misery with others by ruining their game experience through lowbie ganking, killing quest givers, vendors, etc. Since it's a pvp server, it's a blank check to screw with other people.

Do I do this all of the time? No. Do others? Maybe. But the fact is, it's a pvp server, it's not against the rules. I've said this before in threads like this, and I'll say it again, the paradigm "If it's red, it's dead," is not for everyone. If it's not for you, it's time to pay transfer to a pve server, or reroll on a pve server.

that's not so
creating a char on PVP server i wanted to have great PVP events, some great story fraction clashes, massive battles for plantes or cities

but it happens to be a bunch of *****s ganking people who do daylies
i do not know why they spend time that way - there's no reward, no means of skill training (because people do not really have oportunity to strike back).... that's just way of some weird pleasure!

This made my day.
I've done it a couple times and I would probably do it again if I saw an opportunity to do so.

Sadly this is true. But as a seasoned raid leader, I'd rather take a raid full of people who had to watch over their shoulders for 55 levels, than someone who leveled with no danger around them. I'd compare PvE server folks to PvP server folks by the following: The PvE players are like domesticated cattle, with plenty of food, and no danger. The PvP players are more like wildebeests, having to constantly watch out for lions, crocodiles, hyenas, etc. In a raid, a pvp player is going to be able to move and adapt more quickly than someone who isn't used to having to watch all around and react suddenly. Corn-fed Wagyu DPS may have a smooth rotation, but I'd put money on them derping a boss pull because they stand in fire, or didn't watch their target of target or some other form of baddie'ism.

While ganking sucks, it does create a sharper player.

Very bad example.. Nobody unwillingly sits down to a chess game..

Nobody asks to be ganked and rolling on a PVP server is not automatic consent to be ganked by someone of a much higher level.. Nobody asked to have their time wasted or to not be able to do a quest because someone is acting like a jerk.. People are ganked without their permission.. Which is why it is called griefing..

It isn't playing.. Someone is imposing their will on someone else, and preventing them from playing the game..

Personally, I think people that repeatedly gank lowbies should be temp banned.. If they continue, then permanently.. Technically it is harassment. Even on a PVP server..

It shouldn't be allowed on any server..

Wrong.. Just because it is a PVP server does not give you the right to share you misery with others.. It is harassment and you should have your account banned for ganking lowbies..

There is no such thing as a blank check.. You do not make the rules.. You do not have the right to impose your game play on others.. Rolling on a PVP server does not give you permission for anything.. To say otherwise is both stupid and ignorant.. You are essentially saying that if someone leaves their house unlocked they are giving permission for their house to be robbed.. Or a woman that wears a provocative out fit is giving permission to be raped.. It doesn't work that way.. Not in life and not in an MMO..

I know right?? Imposing your will on others... Nothing wrong with that.. We can harass people all we want.. They are on a PVP server.. That gives us the right to do anything we want..

Hey look, that car is unlocked.. Let's go steal it and then tell the judge the owner gave us permission..

If you think that sounds stupid.. Go back and read your own post..

As I have said before.. Rolling on a PVP server does not give anyone permission to do anything.. There is no reason to gank lowbies except to harass the victim.. They would be better off killing lowbie NPC's, at least they would get some lowbie loot out of it and some credits.. Ganking lowbies doesn't even give you valor..

That is why there is all the complaints..

Any suggestion of the EU PvE english speaking server to transfer onto with good population and good warzone queues? Or maybe even US server if it doesn't lag much.

To PK's, this is pretty normal. And no, they won't give in - instead they claim that it is pretty normal that strong ones kill weaker ones.
In RL as well, by the way.

Quite a lot of German PvP players went to the tomb of a person named "Freedon Nadd".
