While playing WoW at level 60 or 70 can't recall, but max level during the expansion I took my hunter back to the starting area's for the Taurians, an area you clearly aren't allowed to attack the low levels there, unless they attack you first or another member of the alliance, but obviously even the silliest of new player knows that a giant shining Night Elf hunter with a level skull under their name plate is something you don't attack so they happily ran about doing their questing around me.

Alas what the poor low level cows of Warcraft did not know was that my hunter had arrived in mulgore without a pet, for a very special (dickhead) reason. I went out of view and found a plainstrider (one of the first monsters you fight while leveling up in mulgore) put it in a trap and tamed it as my hunters pet, then changed the pets name back to default mob name in the area and used a hunter ability called eyes of the beast (now removed) to take direct control of the pet, with my hunter hidden inside some bushes I used the walk key and strolled my Plainstrider back and forth as though it was a monster alongside his other Plainstrider buddies waiting, the perfect monster for low levels to come along and shoot up.

If you've never seen it or played a game like WoW basically when you attack a member of the opposing faction even while in a Zone designated to be Horde you flag yourself for PVP combat so you are fair game to attack, basically I just waddled my new pet around in different area's of the starting zone for hours on end, every time a low level would strike it not noticing what it was they would become flagged for PVP and I resumed control of my own character, ran out from my hiding place and rained max level barrages of death on the lowbies.

Jesus just thinking back to it, was one of my happiest evil times spent playing video games to date, so much fun gunning the hell out of new players who hadn't a clue how they had become pvp enabled in their safe zone.

Sadly you can't do this anymore, now if you tame a pet in WoW it automatically levels to I think within 5 levels of you.... possibly just levels right to you, I don't play my hunter a whole ton anymore, but this moment will stay with me for some time as fantastically evil fun.

Thats genius!
