Is this fair?

Not sure if I'm in the right place to be asking this, but lately i've been doing quests and high up lvls have been taking me out in one hit without the dual request being sent. I'm in a PVP server to occasionally dual other players, not have my butt kicked without me noticing.

You can see how this would be annoying, because I get sent back to town, but I don't mind that so much as these hoards of high levels start folloing me back to town, then following me around, waiting for me to leave the safe zone so they can keep picking me off.

I can't get anything done and I ahve no idea who these people are.

Is this fair? Can I do something about it ?

    If you can prove that they are following you (either by video or screenshots), and interrupting you while doing quests, I believe it's considered as grief-ing and you might be able to report that via a support ticket. But I've not had to deal with it as I don't play on a PVP server.

    With that said you chose to play on a PVP server and even though you like to casually dual other players, other take joy (and pride) in attacking people randomly all the time. You can't expect others to respect your PVP style, when they don't even know it. But I'm sure you know that.

    a. Come back to the area later - hopefully on one will be around when you return.

    b. Reroll to a PvE server - you cant be PK'd unless you enter PK mode.

    if you just want to duel (after bowing etc) then you should go to a pve server (you can duel in a duel or go to pk mode).

    Yep, such is the life of a PVP server resident. As Shelly stated, if it's the same player following you everywhere, killing you at every opportunity, you can definitely submit a ticket about it.

    If you're talking about a bloodthirsty mob of PK'ers waiting outside the safe zone, though, that's entirely within the rules of a PVP server.

    .....and this is why I always suggest to the new players that they choose a PvE server. I feel bad about influencing people away from the PvP servers but the state of the game today makes playing a PvP server as a new, non-cash shopper way too frustrating.....you get constantly one-shotted by bored over-powered high levels, and there is barely anyone to find working on quests your own level to randomly encounter and engage with to have evenly-balanced pk fights with.

    At least on PvE server you can decide when, or if, you enter PK mode so that you can play the rest of the game without having to worry about being harassed by bored juveniles looking to +1 their fragile ego.

    When I first hit 3x, there were always alternative locations to complete my quests and avoid conflict. At late 3x, it pretty much ceased since the common PvP spots on pwi servers are pretty much just around 2-3x areas. Later on at 6x, I started getting attacked occasionally in tusk town, but it was usually even lvled so that's always fun.

    Don't worry, PVP in this game is horrible. Most likely people won't bother attacking you unless they want to be trolls or just bored as heck, then leave you alone.
    I, II and III spark is the most cheesiest skill in PWI and it should be removed or massively nerfed.

    As a 77 barb I have been in a few PK fights. It's gonna happen. Personally, when I wish to avoid player killers I fly straight up in the town. Wait a few moments to see if they follow. If they do, I drop back down, and begin to fly to the next closest SZ. Hopefully one that will allow you to teleport to an near by city. Which would in turn allow you to get away from then without them having any idea where you have gone. I was unaware that you could submit a ticket about pk camping. This is good to know, and I will tell my guildies. But worst comes to worst log out for about 10 minutes. I doubt they would stay and wait for you to log back in. 10 minutes waiting for someone to come back when you have no idea if they will or not seems like forever.
