I actually was ranting about something related to this earlier to my guild.

Since I've levelled my second 70, and now that I'm on my 3rd, I've noticed something very strange about the characters levelling Hordeside. They seem to fall into two categories for most of them: either they are ~5 levels higher than they need to be for the quests (and ~5 levels higher than others doing them), OR they are sporting a level 70 who follows them around everywhere killing everything for them (including any Alliance who comes past them). It's the latter that I ranted about.

Why is it that so many Horde lowbies have a 70 walking them through quests that aren't in any way difficult to do? If it's said that Horde are people focusing on PvP moreso than Alliance, why do they need 70s to guard them and to gank any Alliance lowbies that come near them? Why can't they do it themselves? I'm on Tichondrius by the way.

I've never seen this behavior in Alliance characters levelling. There are sometimes gank squads who wander about but usually not at all often. It's usually very difficult to get any help from Alliance 70s when I'm ganked in this situation too, and as my main is a holy Priest it's difficult to get revenge on my own.
