I like to play WoW PVP from level 40-59, but not below (where twinks live) or above (where raid gearhogs live.) Some fucking idiot on Caltrops informed me that I was playing the game wrong because I liked to play PVP at any level but level 70, which is the "real game." I don't want to play at 70! Because I don't want to do raids all the time. I want to play at 49, where nobody has a full kit of Tier 1,000,000,000 gear. I lose when the point of the game is to get the best gear, and I win when the point of the game is to love the taste of blood. People who hate it when I just fucking own them over and over again have the option of levelling past my window! Or staying below it. Better gear beats Zseni every time!


40-49 pvp has an appeal, but gear isn't any less important. Part of the appeal may be that the decent gear for the bracket is achievable with less effort. It's still the same gear centered crap as 70, except you can easily get the whole stone guards foxy sunglasses and first sergeants grass skirt coconut brassiere set for your cow instead of having to play a week straight for a pair of purple bracers. You can hide behind trees at every level, but if you're wearing equipment from scarlet monastery (except that helmet) your earthmother cannot save you when your little pals portrait shows up on the target list of someone who has frequented zf or morondon.

I enjoyed 40-49 for a while because it's very easy to get the best gear and slaughter all the poor nubkin bastards who are bored from their leveling grind and just want to play a quick battleground. And I suppose if you have enough people who stay in the bracket, like if you're on a new server, things can get a little more interesting and challenging. It seems to me that with so many level 41s and undergeared people, after time it becomes more like beating someone paralyzed from the neck down at Crossfire while they try futilely to fire the little gun with their mouth. Which is the same exact thing as level 70 PVP, just with less spells and much easier to become the top of the equipment chain. So WOW pvp is pretty gay at every level and it leaves a deep dark stain on our souls we will never get out and it ultimately destroys us...utterly. Yay?

Sorry kids, no yay. 8(
