Eh, if you’ve been playing for 16 years, maybe one month total of that time has had a Scourge invasion running, and the other 15 years (bugs aside) if you rolled on a PvE server you’ve been able to AFK in capital cities in peace.
I like the Scourge event as a change of pace, but it’s good that it’s a temporary event and it’s right before an expansion reset; the rest of the time, it’s better to be letting PvE players have their calm game play and letting the PvP players fight players who actually want a fight. Then everyone gets what they want and we don’t have to troll the forums about it so much!
Don’t worry I fixed that for ya
Ya… I accidently created a self replicating plauge in Shattrath, over 1000+ ghouls there… Apparently the Shatter Sun Tainee’s are a hyperspawn.

Why are level 3 automatically being flagged for PvP then.

No one was warned that they would be force flagged in their capital city.

I logged into my level 2 in Stormwind. Flagged.
The benefits of this prepatch are only for max level players. Lowbies will find they exist to be ganked.

Imagine spending any extended amount of time in Stormwind City and not Ironforge.
My level 2 doesn’t do a lot of traveling.

Forced flagging for low level characters is a complete joke. I logged in on a level 16, was immediately flagged, immediately one shotted, turned into a ghoul, again immediately one shotted, then sent to the graveyard to run back. Then Repeat. There’s no way to leave the city, get to a safe place, or get to a portal to go somewhere else without dying again and again immediately upon resurrecting. Not fun.

It was fun for the gankers, and that’s all that matters.
What you can do with that character is run out of the city in spirit form, whereupon your flag will drop in 5 minutes. Walk to a graveyard in the next zone and rez there.
My gripe is the portal hubs. Org is the only city with the portal hub so if we’re looking to get to Pandaria or Icecrown or Caverns of Time we’ve got to go through Orgrimmar.
The portal room is indoors so it’s not like we can mount up, and if you get infected in the portal room you can’t portal out because you’ll take the infection with you, so you need to run out to the healer then wait for the invasion to be over before going back into the portal room.
Additionally, unlike the previous invasion, the infection doesn’t seem to be typed (not a Disease), so I assume even players with Cure Disease spells cannot cleanse themselves; the NPC is the only way to remove it. And there isn’t an NPC on the other side of the portals (which there should be).
I have no objection to the event in general, but these things make travel even more of an irritant and a waste of time, and Blizzard has already been making travel a pain in the neck enough already.

You actually have “Fun” with this event? Its a burning garbage truck of disaster.

The point is that you want to have fun at the expense of other people not having fun. World PvP is not universally liked. I would say there are more who don’t like it vs. who do considering the number of former PvE servers vs. PvP.

I don’t PvP at all and prefer PvE and I have no issue with the event. It really isn’t a big deal. Is it weird that non-max level characters are getting flagged? Yes, that should not be happening. But the rest of the event is fine, the people who don’t like it can avoid Stormwind for a few days.
