Sorry to spoil that fantasy of yours but traveling as high lvl to help out a guildie was a thing even in the past and especially STV where you can fish...



.join has nothing to do with where the level 60s are, if anything it removes them from a zone temporarily for up to half an hour each time it pops. Let's say someone sits and camps ur pal, you have time you go there, after done you still itch to tease people then you move on and kill for awhile until your boredom ends.



I have seen groups of players camping a single individual and seen 60s camping a single individual and that in every zone where factions encounter eachother often... If you tried vanilla back in the day or even tbc you would also know that is completely unrelated to the .join feature.



If anything it is more related to premades taking up the bg space so people don't wish to que as its a loss anyways so why not farm honor in the world or get back at others for the annoyance you accumulated fighting premades so let others know the feeling etc.



Also what negativity ? they can use .join or the vendor there is no difference aside from without it pvp is reduced significantly, this increases the que time by quite a lot and during that time they will go hunting for kills and don't say they have no HS, portal or flight paths or not enough time for it as they have 1-2 hours at times even with the command so without the command world pvp would defenitely grow...



world pvp is something people have been whining about since back then and it has not changed throughout history for PvP servers, when you join a PvP server you already know what to expect. Take a look at retail... people still kill on sight there and that regardless of level, only reason its any less on retail is retail has BG & dungeon que and there are many times more maps thus finding or camping low levels is next to impossible.



If you find yourself being camped why the heck don't you que up ? true the que might take a bit but once it pops and you accept the camper or who hunted you has no way of tracking you and youi can get some honor/rep & marks. Reason you cry so excessively much is not due to world pvp or .join but merely being unable to adjust to a PvP server...



They can que from anywhere yes but they can also que from city and then move out, that only makes a 5 min. difference and they will go to where they want to regardless and if they want to hunt you down they will still hunt you down just take a look at K1 initially... .join simply improved bg attendance instead of people desperately hunting world for the same amount of honor as their que wouldnt pop within a short enough time.
