Same. I would love to get in on some complete madness.

evidently not true
No we don’t. Look I find the event as stupid now as it was back in Wraith but just because you are not enjoying it doesn’t mean you deserve to be compensated. Suck it up, it’s only a couple more days.
Every time I see one of these threads about people who can’t just deal with a minor inconvenience for a single week so people can have some fun in this game after a miserable expansion I just laugh to myself and know that the zombie event is actually a success.

The parts of it I don’t like is people using it to grief others when they’re fighting the rares and thus, can’t loot the rare when they’re turned into a zombie.
Same situation with Nathanos.
Some huge oversights by Blizzard, for sure.

I was more busy trying to drag 18 toons to Nathanos through multiple zombie swarms and shockingly didn’t stop to take screenshots.
Reddit to the Rescue:
This is Shattrath:

Here’s the Crossroads:
Here’s Orgrimmar:
Not an “invasion” but proof can exist in Pandaria: (Since there’s still doubters about going through portals)
To top this off, there’s so many zombies in ORgrimmar at points in time that they become unable to be rendered and become invisible. (There’s multiple reddit threads about it)
There’s more on reddit, but I think this is enough links.

If the boss still gave loot, no one would care. But when someone turns everyone to zombies when the bag boss is up, and you don’t get loot due to it, and are forced to try again 3h 20m later to just have it happen again. That’s not a “minor” inconvenience, that’s disruptive gameplay.

But I shouldn’t be able to accept quests, talk to vendors, etc and I can. This only happens if I go through a portal while infected.
As far as I’m aware, you kill the NPCs with auto attack (Right clicking will still trigger auto attacks), they turn into zombies, they can turn other NPCs and players, etc.

people care about weird stuff.
why would you think anyone cares if you’ve hit reply?
sometimes (especially when i’ve got a fast responding troll on the hook) i like to hit reply… and then walk away.

He’s on Proudmoore, not Moon Guard…
Are people just not aware Elwynn and Westfall are some of the fastest questing now? (Obviously not THE fastest, but still fast compared to most zones). There’s a reason I mentioned Goldshire.

What servers are these? Org last night had very little zombies in it. On my server anyway.

You’d have to ask Reddit. There’s a few posts with similar pictures of Orgrimmar.
If I planned to play anymore, I’d take pictures next time I was on. But I don’t plan to until SL.
Or they can not play.
Content doesn’t have to please everyone.
This is a concept everyone needs to understand.
Once again, when I go through a portal I don’t change into a scourge after the debuff times out. When I go up to an NPC that is a vendor or quest giver? I just interact with them like I would normally when I right-click. It opens a quest dialog or vendor menu.
But hey, I’ll give your suggestion a try next time and maybe infect more. Thanks! I even have some toons on Proudmoore so maybe I’ll try it there.
Port to UC. Fly to Bulwark via flight path to remove the flag since it’s on the way. Then fly the rest of the way on your mount. Easy peasy, and adds only a few seconds to your trip.

They should make one zone entirely plague-filled. No opt out, no escape, everyone who enters that zone participates. I opt for Orgrimmar for immersion, and especially since it allows players to retreat to other cities for the week.
Then every other zone should be opt in only. No forced flagging or forced warmode. Zombies can infest other zones, but only those who are flagged.
This would satisfy the people who want a full zombie event (the city) and people who don’t. But at this point in time, your only option is to try and escape the chaos. Try to head to a lower populated zone for the week or something.

I will admit it is annoying as all get out that the quest NPCS for the event are RIGHT WHERE the zombies are running rampant…an immunity zone or the guards passing through fighting off the zombies in more places would have been nice…as is the infection feature can be taken as griefing… “go speak to so and so in Gold shire” tries to speak to Lenna about a dozen times while zombies explode by the dozens forcing one to die and respawn repeatedly
