Good Grief, practically impossible if you have never played the class.
I have a guildie, really just a teenage kid who had a little WoW
problem and his parents permanantly banned him from the game. Nice kid
none the less.

Well he was going to just let his character rot away, and bid us all
goodbye. I coudn't stand to see a decent lvl55 Hunter go to waste, so I
offered to buy his "game" from him, which obviously included the toon.

I sent him the price of the game, and he sent me the password and key.
except I can't play this darn Hunter!!!!

My first order of business was to move him from WInterspring to
Ironforge where I like to keep my characters. I got killed twice on the
way, giving a couple of people VERY easy Hk's, since I coudn't even
figure out how to fight back. I did kill some scouge up in Plaguelands,
but I can only handle one at a time, and if my pet (scropid) loses
aggro, I am done.

Could somebody please tell me the basic mob grinding tactic for a
Hunter? who is Marksman specced?

> Griefer and account buyer, I'm shocked. Not.

I'll partially agree with you there, I am not too into those who buy
accounts. I just hated to see a well loved character go to waste. Plus,
you never know, the kid may come back some day. I look at it more like,
I bought his car from him while he is in college, with full intentions
of selling it back when he returns, I may drive it from time to time,
but my car is much nicer...

As far as greifing? well that is all done on my own character, As a
matter of fact, I would doubt my ability to kill a lvl 40 of any class
with his character. I'm not going to try to rationalize with you on the
ethics ganking or greifing. I find it amusing that the vast majority of
people you see bitching about greifing and ganking in usenet are those
on PVE servers. It usually starts with.. "This is why I play on a PVE
server..."

Yes, we know why you play on a PVE server, we also know why you post
from behind a fake name and a fake email address. The fact is, it's a
video game. A video game where those who like to kill others, are given
the place and opportunity to do so.

BTW, this is really fun to do in World PvP with a lowbie caster. My lowbie
Alliance priest would join in fights at the Duskwood crossroad (casting
Fortitude on everybody and throwing such heals as I could), and my guildie
hunter would set a frost trap.I'd stand in the trap so my robe mostly hid
it. Some stealthed rogue would jump me, and the highbies waiting in the
bushes would take out the now ice-blocked Horde. Take that, ganker! What
was really funny, the last time we did this, was how many times the enemy
would respawn and try to gank me again! I can't count how many times we
killed those guys that night!

Hehe, I have seen a few traps, even got caught once. But I wasn't
ganking. I always consider a mage as a 'come and get a free HK' for a
Rogue. When I was 45, I was at Nessies and saw a 45 mage. I figured it
was an easy HK, and it would have been if the 60 Rogue didn't ambush me
the instant I was about to ambush the mage I tried about three or four
times, but he was just stealth camping me at that point. So I did what
every player should do when they are done being greifed, I ressed
behind a tree and hearthed home, then went to work on quest in a
different zone for awhile.

Whats REALLY fun is when a couple of mid level toons get into it in
STV, and they keep calling in reinforcment until you get two raid
groups of high level characters to settle a score started by two 30's

lol... that's what we do at gurubashi arena.

get a low level (30ish) to sit near the path with PVP on and /afk
activated. wait for ganker to assault the bait and run out of the
bushes to annihilate them.

they'll eventually get the message Smile

I don't mind being called a greifer. I do some world PVP, as does
everybody on a PVP server. I really don't make a habit of griefing, but
I do post about it when it happens as that, quite frequently is one of
the more interesting things that happens. If I told you about how two
Level 60 Hunters from my guild ran my lvl 24 Warlock and a lvl 20 Rogue
through SFK yesterday 4 or 5 times in a row so we could get gear,
everybody would say, yep...

But everybody on PVP can relate to a 4 highs on 1 low ganking. And will
probably find it amusing that the gankee has a pretty strong lvl 60 and
was able to hand out a little payback.

And for what it's worth, in my other post you mentioned "greifing all
night". I wiped them 3 times, and they killed be once. that would be
ohhhhhhh 25mins tops?

It happens from time to time, it is a PVP server. The vast majority of
my time is spent leveling my alts, and I don't bring out my main every
time my alt gets killed, only when they are "special jerkwads". Usually
I have better things to do.

You seem like a pretty smart guy, maybe even one I would enjoy
discussing the game with, or sharing amusing stories. So if you want to
discuss the game, or even debate the ethics of World PVP, I am up for
that. But how about from now on, we both leave personal attacks out,
since both of us know nothing of the others 'real life', we really have
nothing to base personal attacks on.
