buddy, these are PvE servers we’re talking about
you’re not killing anybody, except if you use a few kinds of grief schemes.
if you want to defend griefing, fine, but you’re not defending glorious PvP battles
i hope you understand that 
I do not know what full means for a server. I do not know how many players that is. I do know that OE was not full. BB is, and idk about Whitemane.
Look its anecdotal, but i vividly remember Horde BB having 3 major greenwall guilds, with roughly 50-70 online at any moment and nothing more.
The 3 greenwall guilds have over 100 on each during prime, and massive amounts of random guilds that are not greenwall connected. A few of these are small, but there are others that have become very popular, like Shrimp Gang.
Off of what I saw months ago, and what I see now, I would say HC has more players than before. Is it due to streamers, or boredom, both, idk. Will the population stay stupid high? Probably not. Retail just dropped a new patch which probably doesnt mean much to most HC players, but TOGC is due soonish.
Every version of wow will fall in numbers, including HC, and im normally pretty pessimistic about things like this, but seeing them continue through som and into era shows hope that HC is actually here to stay.
The real question is if Blizzards HC will cement HC as a valid type of play, or will Blizzard HC servers be scuffed and force HC back to era. That could maybe kill it actually.
It is when you disrupt and entire quest line for days. Zone disruption or something similar is what they call it. Apparently they fixed this in retail with the war mode feature?
I’m wondering if they’re going to just add the SoI buff with a few additional achievements on normal seasonal servers and call it a day. That’d be a bummer.

I mean its called natural selection. If you’re dumb enough to fall for that you deserve to go back to character creation screen.

It’s a lot easier to hit them than you think. The ones who are good at it can get you easy.
I mean, I kind of even like the griefing a bit cause it makes things more interesting. But then I think about who that person actually is, and I am happy they are being banned. Imagine spending your time getting dopamine hits from ruining other people’s days. Awful human beings.
i think griefing like having a hunter pet disguised as an npc is fine cus you kind of deserve to die if you attack it, but having a rogue jump in front of you when you’re trying to tag a unique mob is complete horsecrap /targetexact doesn’t help
