That general policy for all Blizzard games do not impact PvP. Not at all. PvP is an intended part of the game. Blizzard intends for others to kill players, annoy players, camp players, etc. Player who select PvP servers or Warmode opt-n to dealing with that.
No, that is NOT true. So not true that they have a Support article pointing out that PvP is an intended part of the game. Including ganking, camping, and making someone miserable. If they choose to play on a PvP server, or turn on Warmode. they WILL be killed.
Blizzard does not consider that harassment or “griefing”. It is considered playing the game as intended.
Common Problems
- A player is camping me.
- Keep being ganked and can’t play the game at all.
- A player of the opposite faction is killing NPCs.
The Game Master staff will not intervene in Player versus Player (PvP) disputes.
Modern WoW
If you do not wish to engage in open world PvP combat in World of Warcraft, disable War Mode.
WoW Classic and Wrath of the Lich King Classic
If you do not wish to engage in regular PvP combat, you must create your character on a Player versus Environment (PvE) realm. On a PvE realm, you can freely choose when you want to engage in open world PvP combat by enabling or disabling your PvP flag.
If you chose to create your character on a PvP realm, Game Masters will not address situations where you are repeatedly killed by the opposite faction. This includes situations that may be considered dishonorable such as corpse camping or killing players well below your level.
Nobody gets penalized for PvP unless they are using bots, cheats, or exploits - which is against the game rules for all content. No amount of reporting someone for PvP is going to result in a penalty. That is NOT why someone got Suspended or Banned.
