Well I got lvl 97 the other day and I figured I'd go to a political zone and see what's changed.
I went there knowing that I could very well get ganked by a level 200 PKer if one was there, but i wanted to test it out regardless.
I went into 2HO and saw an Enforcer who was Green/Yellow to me and opened fire.... it was a good fight as I had him down to 50% and he had me to the same with my shield on.... but before i knew it my chat screen flooded with "Attacked by <insert every other clan 75++ in the area> for ### <whatever type> damage."
Every other person attacking me was deep red to me... I was able to target one of them and hit "t" before i died.... that specific one was a lvl 128 Advent. "OK" I got ganked... no biggie... happens to everyone i guess.
I immediately went back to join the brawl that was ensuing.....
"Tindstar hit you for 1222 of Aimed Shot Damage"
"Dodo hit you for 1222 of Fling Damage"
"Tindstar hit for 998 of Energy Damage"
Me = level 97 soldier
1222 = 40% of my max HP
Tindstar = a lvl 130++ Fixer (Apprentice) PK Griefer
Dodo = (May be off on the name) = a lvl 130~ Shotty Doc (Apprentice).
Me = Dead..... Reclaim.
So for me: I will not step one foot inside a political or meyhem zone until i get to lvl 125+
If i need to go to a political zone for a mission, I will fly to it from a neihboring zone.
So........... see ya in the field in about 30 levels or so. Doesn't make sense for me to go to these areas just go get ganked by whole teams 40 levels above me.
