Hello. On Sul’Thraze server, I gathered 17 players and we went to attack SW for fun
But while going inside the city, we were surprised by multiple dozens of guards spawning instantly. We had to clear dozens of guards just to advance a little bit and dozens more would spawn
Eventually about 40-50 spawned all at once and wiped us
I think this is a bug. Please look at it

So because there are measures in place to prevent players like you from doing this exact thing, you want it stopped, just so you can do it.
I’m not asking people’s opinion, a PvP server is for PvP and city raids are awesome.
But 40-50 guards spawning instantly once a few seconds vs a 15m raid group doesn’t seems like intended behaviour to me.

why not? both factions have an army - seems good to me
Was never this excessive in Vanilla.
Just try ganking in a contested town and tell me 10 insta spawning guards isn’t overkill?

Once again you wanting to raid the city and not being able to becomes it’s not intended.
But if you want to talk about things not intended for the game, lets start with general chat. First look at both the TOS, and Code of Conduct, then look at the toxicity level of general chat then explain to me how General chat is not intended for that behavior, yet general chat is still in the game despite both the TOS and Code Of Conduct say otherwise.
Now ask yourself wth is intended behavior for anything in this game.
…
i’ll just flag, ignore and move on.
It’s not overkill, it’s a measure in place to stop you from doing exactly what you’re saying the game won’t let you.
BTW this isn’t the original 2004 WOW. it’s a 2019 version trying to be passed off as a 2004 copy…
And yes WOW started in 2004, not 2005.
Since games on line existed, retail kiddies are always labeling something as broken and or not intended just because it doesn’t allow them to do something they think they’re entitled to and or it’s something they don’t like.
I also want to point out to anyone reading this far into this topic, is the retail s are always arguing to their own point of view, first they argue with veterans when veterans explain Classic isn’t retail, now they aren’t something they cannot get away with, is broken, and using some excuse to justify themselves.
Crap we can’t get away with raiding the city…I know lets say it’s a bug and use imbecile excuses!
This might be a bug, but I am not sure if it’s simply intended because there are no Dishonorable Kills yet to deter people from attacking towns and cities and killing civilians.
But yes, the guard spawn rate is absolutely insane.

I like how you are talking down on retail but this is not how guards worked during vanilla or TBC or WOTLK at all.

Curedbacon - I’m not sure why you’re so salty (no pun intended) about this.

clearly shows this is not how it was in Vanilla.
You also have a PVP system based around this style of combat. To have the guards spawning like this is unacceptable and NOT true to where we were in the patches. It makes city attacks and honor farming more difficult, and unrewarding - for BOTH factions.
People often put on their nostalgia glasses for city raids and the Tarren mill fights. Those wouldn’t have been possible with spawns like this.
Simple matter is - the game was not designed to have guards like this. They weren’t added in until much higher gear levels and insane scaling of power when they were more a nuisance. Right now, they fully wipe a city raid with no PVP resistance from the opposing faction.
WPVP is PVP and used for ranking come Tuesday. It needs to be hot fixed out.

It’s not a bug persay, it’s something they implemented in the Legion client and was not initially part of vanilla. This has caused issues with outposts like Southshore when doing the stink bomb quest for Halloween or the quest that has you use a rod to summon npc in their graveyard. I get anywhere near the town and 3+ guards spawn and destroy you. Even as a 60 it makes these things basically a death run because how am I suppose to kill constantly spawning high level enemies?
Obviously its not but they did state its a museum piece. Thats like going to see the mona lisa and getting a shoddy forgery that kinda resembles the mona lisa.
