So at 3 AM EST on Kromcrush server there were two horde players who were on top of the gadgetzan arena killing alliance without being able to be hit by the guards nor other players because the guards would then turn on them… They were killing players for hours and I was not able to turn in any quests… Is this a bannable offense?

I would say it’s annoying and someone got creative on a way to PvP. Is that one instance bannable? Geez I hope not. Fun detected lets Ban them. However if they keep doing it like every day it would either be fixed or perhaps asked to stop. A GM could then watch the situation and talk to them.
Someone blowing off steam and killing a town for a few hours is just called gaming. Don’t really agree with the on top of the Arena though. So just fix how they did that.

I can’t remember the exact timeline here, but I do remember this bug being present in vanilla. At some point, guards were given a ranged attack that would knock players back to prevent this from happening. Blizzard said we were getting 1.12, “bugs and all”. Was this bug still live during 1.12? If so, it should be left in the game.

Similar thing was happening in booty bay tonight.

“There is always a PvP solution to PvP.” No, this is not a bannable offense and it’s something that’s been done in game from the start. The solution in this case would be get a group of people together, go up on the roof where they are, and kill them.

If theres a legit and easy way to get uo there its not bannable. Like how easy it is get uo on the roof of the inn 8n farkshire with an epic mount by jumping off the nearby hill. What blizzard should fo is make the guards be able to kill them.
It’s not a bug. You can get up there to if you want, you just need a normal mount. And it’s been happening since 15 years ago.

- Don’t attack them back until you’re on the roof.
- Have a couple pallies in the group that can BoP the people jumping up.
- It’s not really an intricate or difficult process to get up there, I’m sure you can find plenty of youtube videos showing you exactly how to do it.
Like I said, this is nothing new. I played exclusively on PvP servers until Warmode was introduced and I can’t even begin to count the number of hours I spent out there in full blown PvP wars before Azeroth flying was introduced in game. If it upsets you that much and you can’t turn in your quests “for hours”, go quest in a different zone for a while until they get bored and leave.
Edit: It took me less than 10 seconds to find this using google: ~https://youtu.be/UEC0Ood2ibQ

This is extremely classic. And considering how trivial it is to get on the inn in particular using basic geometry that almost feels specifically placed to get you up there, kinda seems intentional.
The guards do have guns that knock people off if they aren’t careful.
If you weren’t able to turn in any quests that seems like a you problem. Even if there were 200 mages up there, you can just res right next to the questgiver.

Also, your guild name makes this post very ironic. Just saying.

Your guild is called “PvP Gank You Now”
I’m sure you guys can get a group together and sort this problem out. /wink

My guild hasnt updated,I I was in that guild for a whole two days, I’m also level 42. The issue is that the guards are not getting them off the top of the arena, and also these griefers are level 60 which means me along with many others are dying in 1-2 shots. Yes eventually I managed to leave Gadgetzan, but the fact is there are guards in the hub for a reason, and they are ineffective in stopping them. If I was in a random location getting camped I would not come crying on the forums, however they are avoiding guards who are placed there for good reason.

If they ever reintroduce guards with knockback and/or guard spawn, then I’m out the door (again). The worst design ever. Whoever came up with that IS the worst. Don’t give Blizz another snowball chance to ruin WPvP yet again with their horrendous “fixes”. Getting shot off boats, zeppelins, roofs, whatever.
These towns are run by one of the scummiest races in the world: Goblins. They only care about money. They only protect those that have gained enough loyalty with them (assuming they view these players as assets so of course they’ll protect them over a neutral rep player, etc). They’re basically the Wild West towns of Azeroth.
Unless people are exploiting/cheating then there isn’t anything stopping someone from killing these guys and getting on the roofs at Gadge isn’t too hard. Also, I’m pretty sure the goblin guards won’t protect players that have low rep with them.

You miss the guards that mass zerg and instant kill people whenever they step out of line I bet.
EDIT: And literally spawn out of nowhere.

This should not be bannable.

Not banable at all, guards cannot reach them and if you do anything the guards hit you. Report enough and you can see what happens though, have seen reports for less.
I think this is just a prime example of the problem with guards of WoW in general. Getting Attacked? Dont worry the guards will try to save you. Try defending self after getting attacked? Guards think you are a psycho killer and will do anything to stop you.

Bannable? No.
Lame? Yeah. Let them level.
Sometimes causing rage quits lopsides your server even worse and eventually cleaves pvp participation circa 2007-2017 …oh…
Too soon?

You know they were up there watching it all happen loving it. lol! TBH, it is a pvp though and moving on to another area less active without the disadvantage might be a better option for your time.
