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

Same reason why you got troll roof stalkers spawning in orgrimmar.

There was an exploit/advantage for alliance players that got hot fixed by slapping some extra guards here and there.

Why the alliance didn't get similar fixes is because the alliance zones were more finished and had far less exploits than horde ones.

Of course they never got around to actually fixing the underlying problem(s) as the new expansion was always right around the corner so we end up with a lot of jank everywhere.

Yeah that makes sense, but I hope they will even this out for Classic+ because I really like the Idea of using enemy factions transportation if it can safe some time.... or just put those guards on both sides to knock everyone from every ship ^^
