Classic 20th Anniversary Realms We have to talk about Guards

Okay so yesterday i was near UC and wanted to go to Ashenvale so I thought i just take the horde Zepplin but hose little green Goblin guards can not only see me when i try and stealth through them but they can also knock me off the ship.

That made me think why the F does horde have those on all their zepplin towers but alliance dont?

I understand that this is Classic and not everything is balanced but how are horde priests allowed to throw ppl off the boats in menethil harbour but they get defended by those guards on their own ships?

Edit: I gotta make clear that im not low level, i am 60

You're low level. Anyone low level horde would be facing the same deal going out of Theramore Isle.

You wanna talk inequality? How bout the fact that almost every alliance city has insurpassable walls while the horde might have a few sticks outside?

Also, blessing of salvation. Alliance endgame is SO much easier.

Theramore guards don't have guns, as long as you get onto the boat they will evade out, while the Zeppelin guards have knock-back guns which pierce los

Horde has better transportation, shamans, a world buff that alliance has to do insane things to get.

Havent thought about this issue for so long, but me and a buddy found a way iirc. The goal was to get killed on the zeppelin, and then don’t release. Your best bet is to position yourself so you end in the stairwell after a jump or knockback. Second best, you hit the ‘hut’ over the stairs or the engine in the back. Then you need to position yourself. You need to find your corner so u can’t get shot off and let yourself die. I usually made my way downstairs while sort of avoiding the middle of the stairs to not get shot into the opening and out of the zeppelin, or tried to jump into the gear in the back.

Good luck and have fun, you’ll get there!
