well you will notice equip and classes are even more of an issue there

you can have lvl 32 equip with lvl 29 and this will give you an insane boost

some of the asee faggot do this and farm new lowies

on the other hand some classes just do insane damage in low lvl areas like pallys etc so they will easily kill you with few hits too

but just lvl a bit there is not much pvp while lvling (and btw it doesnt cost you anything when you die in lowlvl area) and when you reach max lvl you will be able to defend yourself better
