This is a great idea.
From memory people that did this back in the day were actioned for game disruption. It was all up to individual incidents and the GM response. But it was a very different time to now, I would report and move along. If your going to do it then don’t as your fellow players may report you for zone disruption and you will be actioned.

- Someone is intentionally disrupting the gameplay in the zone.
So it’s basically yes it is considered griefing. This is a good comment.

Certainly, that’s a good basis to report.
If the GM agrees, stuff will happen.

Just a by the by, Blizzard doesn’t overly define what counts as such or someone messing around for fun. As been said many times, you can report it, but it’s up to blizzard to make the call to take any, if at all, actions.

Yes, obviously it is up to Blizzard if the account gets actioned. No-one else can action your account. But I don’t want to risk my account if I give a false report.
It isn’t a fasle report if Blizzard agrees with it and felt like the person is breaking the rules. Remember, it’s Blizzard sandbox, we just play by their rules. If you don’t want to have actions apply to your account, then don’t do it.

Like others have said if you see someone doing this report them. No blue is going to tell you yes it is ok to do or NO someone will get punished. I know back in original classic people did do this from time to time and do not think they got banned.
If blizzard did not want this to happen they would put leashing mechanics on the mobs they are kiting across the map. Most big mobs like this in retail you can not do this as they would just reset back in there area.

You will not risk your account for reporting this! They are doing something you and many do not like, So report it. If they do not think the person broke the rules nothing will happen. They will not come after you as a result of no action against who you reported.

And it is a false report if Blizzard does not agree with it. That is why I would like to know if it was griefing. I’m told to report it. But you’re telling me not to do it?
@Vorsol
falsely reporting another player with the sole intent of restricting their gameplay is also unacceptable and will result in penalties to your account.
It’s against TOS to false report.
No, a false report is when you report something that someone isn’t doing. It’s not against the rules to be wrong. “X player kited Kazaak to Stormwind” is not a false report if it happened. It would be a false report if the incident didn’t happen and you were making it up.

Yes, that’s why I made this post to know if bringing a high elite mob to Orgrimmar is allowed or not. If it was allowed then I would be false reporting. Which I don’t want to do because I do not want my account to be actioned.
Yep, and it’s not against the rules to report something that turns out to not be against the rules. You can only be actione for reports if you are deliberately making false reports. Abusing the reporting system. Like Asmongold did when he encourged a huge number of people to report text that didn’t violate the rules.

Again if you have to ask if something is against the rules then it probably IS against the rules. If you ever get the chance to fully read the code of conduct and end user agreements etc it’s a very interesting read. And yes it does cover everything in the game even this subject.
Also Never believe anything from another website that is not this forum, as usually those have some rather untrue opinions. Reddit posts are just trying to lawyer ideas so people that believe what they saying can come here to try lawyering their case because they did something bad.

Blizzard does not action people for making reports. They action people for encouraging others to make reports that they know are false or for hopping characters on the forums to increase the number of reports on a post.
You do not get in trouble for reporting a possible game violation…EVER!
That’s NOT a thing. It’s never been a thing.

No, reporting it is not a false report. It wouldn’t be allowed in retail, why would it be allowed in classic? Though they changed the game long long ago so that these mobs would leash and you wouldn’t be able to kite them out of the place you’re intended to fight them in.
I even recall some people getting suspended way back in vanilla for kiting raid bosses to capital cities.

It’s in Blizzard’s in-Game code of Conduct.
While we encourage you to report players that are behaving in a disrespectful manner, falsely reporting another player with the sole intent of restricting their gameplay is also unacceptable and will result in penalties to your account.
Obviously, I’m restricting that person’s gameplay because I believe he was disrupting the zone. If bringing the high elite mobs to Ogrimmar was allowed then I would be in the wrong which would be false reporting.
