Hey
There's something i dont understand, if im being repeatedly camped by a level 80, why am i being punished for it with the 2 mins wait to resurrect ?
I know i chose a PvP server, im fine with it. i have even had a few fair fights. but i dont understand why i have to wait for being camped by a Paladin in full level 80 gear that i will pretty much die in 1 hit from.

The reason is actually to discourage people from farming their own alts (on a separate account) for honor. It's super boring having to wait 2 minutes for one HK, where as if you could just insta-res your characters without any downtime, it would be too exploitable.

Q u o t e:
Does anyone actually do that?
People don't do that, no, because with this system there is no gain from doing it. :)
Q u o t e:
We're talking about ganking greyed out chars here. =/
That's fine, I was simply giving you the reason for the resurrection timer. :)
