I think that would be unlikely, as long as that GM wanted to continue being a GM. The ‘script’ is the policy handed down from the devs. The GM doesn’t get to deviate from that policy just because they may disagree with it.
Did you not understand the blue post I linked earlier, or did you just not read it at all?
I’ve played on Moon Guard since the end of Cata. I can think of maybe one time seeing this happen. And honestly, I would hope any roleplayer worth their salt would be able to roll with it and adapt. Might not be an ideal situation, but worse things have happened to force a roleplayer to flip the script. As there is a PvP solution for a PvP problem, there can easily be a roleplayer’s solution for a roleplayer’s problem.
I daresay you trying to use this as an example falls greatly short of what you’re trying to make of it.
It is annoying, not a game disruption when you have other AH’s to go to, that are accessible by level 1s. Blizzard will not suspended people for killing NPCs that Blizzard allows to be killed. That is why the support article specifically says killing NPCs is not something GMs will get involved with.
The Social contract does not in any way make PvP against the rules. Hence the thread on the CS forum backing that. PvP may be annoying, but it is not going to get anyone banned. If Blizz ever changes their mind they will change the game mechanics to prevent NPCs from being killed or players from getting into combat under various circumstances.
Lol, no. MS does not get very involved in the game companies they buy when it comes to the day to day things.
They use the cross faction language potion thing so just ask em not to kill em for a bit & they won’t.
They’re just bored horde pvpers & are pretty chill.
Your opinion is not required.
I’m going off of how Blizzard explicitly stated they handled these kinds of situations in the past and if you actually read my whole post you’d have seen I also pointed out how PvE doesn’t mean PvP free.
Edit: it’s funny because your CS link literally backs up my original answer. The answer is no, but also there’s exceptions based on circumstances such as excessive or long lasting behavior.
IE: Kill an AH NPC once is fine, but ten hours later and it’s no longer the same situation. What we as players dont know is when that line has actually been crossed.
maybe he is angry about the region wide AH mergers and this is his way of taking out his anger.
It’s not an opinion.
How Blizzard handled them in the past and present hasn’t changed. PvP problems have PvP solutions. Multiple blue posts, past and present, along with the support article, say this.
No, you said the following:
That’s nowhere near “PvP problems have PvP solutions everywhere in every mode, but on rare occasions if it’s too out of hand, we might intervene.”
PvE servers were never exempt from PvP problems have PvP solutions.
In the context of the OP asking about how someone was coming every day to kill AH NPCs. And also both of you have a bad habit of cherrypicking my post that ignores the clarification my answer gave.
I can’t give exact specifics as to when Blizzard will consider it excessive or out of hand, but when I hear someone has been doing something for days I imagine that means he is camping the NPCs for hours upon hours and coming back each day to keep it up. If that’s not considered excessive then I have no idea what would be.
Your context is irrelevant. You claimed:
This is factually wrong.
What you said is still factually wrong. Even with your clarification of how they might later intervene. I’ve been on RP servers for 17 years. Rarely, if ever, have I heard of them doing anything about PvP. Same as it was on PvP servers.
The rules for RP/PvE servers are no different. Even when they’d intervene. Because there were very rare cases on PvP servers where they’d eventually shut down weeks long constant griefing by a guild at quest NPCs or a graveyard.
PvE servers aren’t catered to separately.
If you think context is irrelevant then we have nothing to discuss. Enjoy your ignorance.
If blizzard didn’t want players to be able to kill the AH npcs, they would simply make them unkillable. Live with it.
Ironic coming from the one who ignored literally everything else being said. lol
If there is no alternative to the NPC that is being camped, the behavior goes on for a VERY long time, and it is game breaking - stops progress. Blizzard will sometimes consider it zone disruption.
An AH is not ever going to fall in that category. We have multiple AH locations in multiple cities. Even a level 1 can move to a different AH to conduct transactions. Because there are alternatives and it is not game breaking, they are not going to consider AH NPC killing zone disruption.
Annoying, yes. Against the rules in any way, no. If they ever decide it is, they will just make the NPCs unkillable.
They just like to make people feel small and shut them down. Why they feel the need to attempt at gatekeeping these forums is beyond me. They left last month because they were being bullied. I wished they would have stayed gone.
They can dish it out but can’t take it. And ohhhh boy if you get the queen mad she summons her little minions from the forum discord to dogpile your thread or response.
Kinda sad.
As you said, they respawn quickly. He’s either a fury warrior or a retribution paladin, two classes that most don’t want to deal with. The area’s architecture is also very, very favorable for melee characters. So it limits the pool of players who can quickly dispose of them.
Can you give us the first 3 letters of that player’s name? Maybe I’ll take them out next time.
This is the second thread you’ve come into in order to purposely harass me. The fact that I live rent free in your head so much that you have to seek out threads for personal insults says more about you than it does me.
And there’s literally no one from any discord coming in anywhere. Cut the lies and harassment.
Yes, your posts definitely are. Put me on ignore and move on with your life.
You don’t bother me, your ego is just big and obnoxious. I was letting that person know how you are.
No lies here, if your profile wasn’t hidden people could easily see your pattern and how you speak to others in demeaning ways. Your way or the highway kinda attitude and no one likes it. That’s why a lot of people don’t like you.
I’ve been around a really long time sweetheart. You’ve got a lot of skeletons in your closet here on the forums. I’ve got zero respect.
The power is in your hands though.
You can ignore those whom you think unworthy of your time. Either with or without the tools given to you.
I don’t what you beef you have with one another, and truth be told, I really don’t care to know, but wasting your effort on conversation full of malice isn’t what I would call prudent.
Your harassment towards me says otherwise.
Literally everything you’ve said is just a false personal attack.
Ironic, since yours is hidden, as well. The ONLY reason to hide a profile is so people can’t watch you type. Literally everything else can be searched and found.
No one gets flak from me until they start the personal attacks— like you. Don’t like facts and bluntness? Then put me on ignore. It’s not difficult.
I honestly don’t care. Take your drama outside the forums and either talk to me about it one on one somewhere without hiding on a classic alt or don’t bring it up at all.
It is, but they’d rather choose to be hostile instead of acting like a mature adult. I’m going to ignore the rest of the toxicity they’ll be posting. It’s not worth my time.
It just gets old. And when I read over the forums daily and see their comments like “your context is irrelevant” (when i have them on ignore, this was in a quote) it really bothers me. Seeing them freely walk around the forums belittling people for years is just sad.
Some don’t realize that she is just really toxic. Always has been.
