At the core of the Blood Crows' philosophy is a focus on world PvP above all else. At times, this may rub our enemies the wrong way because they are accustomed to a degree of courtesy and kindness in world PvP that will not be afforded to them by the Blood Crows.

Many US-based world PvP guilds have a strong focus on RP, and as such, work hard to ensure that their enemy guilds feel respected and honored as a part of their world PvP activities. It is common to see honor codes in place to prevent camping or rude gestures. This is understandable, and we support any guild in operating in the way that works best for them.

The Blood Crows take a different approach: In order to provoke a response in world PvP in the modern era of WoW, repeated kills are often necessary. We feel strongly that PvP problems have PvP solutions, and our enemies should use them.

Rather than expecting their character to be given the opportunity to walk away from a fight and resume activities in the area, enemy players who do not wish to engage in world PvP have the following options:

• Rather than resurrecting at their corpse, they may “spirit res” using the Spirit Healer at the graveyard they appear at after releasing. This will cost 25% durability and give the character Resurrection Sickness, but this condition now only lasts one minute. After escaping a fight, they can feel free to stay in war mode and go do activities elsewhere in the world, or simply turn off war mode and return to the area they were playing in.
• Preferably, instead of escaping the fight, they may call in backup and engage in world PvP to “win” back the contested area. War mode isn't meant to be a free 10% bonus given to the dominant faction in a server group. World PvP quests aren't meant to be easy PvE content giving PvP rewards. We will use every dirty trick and advantage we can find to bring the fight to other players in war mode and at PvP objectives.

While we may fight “dirty” with our gameplay and use our actions to provoke a response, in no way do we condone the use of slurs or bigoted language to provoke a response. If someone with our guild tag does this, please report it to us immediately.
