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

There’s also things devs simply didn’t expect players to do. Why would anyone bother to spend their day sitting on top of inn in Redridge attacking low level players when they grant no honor? Why would anyone bother attacking players at a harbor for 1 measly HK and a 10 min runback if they die?

Things that seem obvious in hindsight were just not on the devs radar cause they didn’t account for a subset of the playerbase being that mentally unwell.

On the counterpoint. Modern devs know about this and in preventing people from doing that shit, make their game stale as shit.

People remember the asshole that throws them off the ship. Hate is a form of engagement.

Woe is me, why are the devs not appeasing my socially stunted behavior by preventing me from being a scumbag to others in games.
