thats the whole point dude, a low cap. This game is supposed to be focused on PvP. Thats what the end-game is. What they were trying to do with this game was get rid of the huge time sink, which they've done.

In WoW you could PvP at any level but the serious PvP'ing happened post-60, thats when it really becomes about your tactics as a player, not just ganking people 10 levels lower than you.

By making a low cap in this game, everybody is "level 60" (in WoW terms) so the PvP is all about skills, not level gaps. This is furthered by the fact that you can only have 8 skills equipped at a time, unlike EVERYTHING you've trained ever in WoW.

Its a different kind of game, dont' think of hitting the cap as the end, its the beginning.

Two words to burn that: Battle. Grounds.

The PvP system in WoW can be just as skill-oriented as it is in GW, there's just a lot more to do asside from PvP. That's why I play it and not GW.

Ganking low levels is fun anyway. Mind Controlling a level 30 off of a 1,000ft cliff is great.

ROFL! Next time you do that, record it with Game Cam or something, that's great rage.

Sidoh, if you ever see me.. do NOT mind control me off a cliff.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

* Sidoh grins wickedly.

It was great fun. I have some good stories. I'll probably go there again sometime soon... I'll try to take videos this time. :) I do have a few screenshots.

Just mind control joe to hitting himself in the nuts with a fiery sword 3 or 8 times.
