If anyone actually wanted to they could stop that easily. The end result would be the server crashing though.

Battlemasters are faction specific gatekeepers to content. Horde and alliance donât share battle masters, and they get put on separate teams to do bgs.
DMF is inherently contested content. Itâs a neutral event placed in either deep alliance or deep horde territory. The point of it is to drag players into enemy zones by enticing them with goodies, including the buff. Getting mobbed and ganked and camped is part of DMF.
It blows my mind that this guy is on a PvP server, strolling into enemy territory, meaning strolling up near the entrance to an enemy capitol city, to speak to a neutral npc that the enemy is equally as motivated to speak to, yet heâs surprised that they murder him on sight. What did you expect?

Yeah, thatâs why it doesnât seem like the precedent is there really.
And an epic PvP battle PowerPoint presentation before the crash =P

No where did I say i was âsurprisedâ Alliance would kill me on sight. It is easy to argue against points you created in your head.
My point is Alliance are griefing by making a neutral NPC unclickable. That is my argument. Please keep up. Make an argument as to why this is not griefing.
Now, lets say a bunch of horde mounted up and stacked on the fishing tournament NPC in booty bay to prevent any alliance to turn in the fish for the tournament. Surely, no one needs to win the tournament and be allowed to turn in their fish, yet i would think most of us would consider that griefing. I believe this is similar to what is occurring at the darkmoon faire.

okay but using that logic you can say nothing in the game can ever be griefing because youâre making a conscious decision to do anything for your own reasons, not because the game dictates that you NEED to do it.

You can interact with NPCs without clicking on them using a target macro and keybinding the âInteract With Targetâ function in Keybindings => Targeting.
As for people with similar names, use â/targetexact Saygeâ. That will only target anyone with the exact name of âSaygeâ.
Youâre welcome.

Shift+V. Click on the nameplate. Do it all the time because of funny guy Taurens on the flight master or on the battle master. You have no argument. You have only regret for rolling on a PvP server.
Id argue that the massive majority of what players think is griefing isnt, that theyre just really soft and entitled.
But thats not for me to decide. Take it up with blizzard if a player does something and let them decide.
Standing on a NPC to block vision while not flagged should imo considered griefing. The naming of a toon is a clever use of game mechanics and is fair game.
Several people have mentioned the nameplate thing, the guy refuses to reply to that because he just wants to be salty

You seem to have created something in your imagination that my sole issue is with PVP happening on a PVP server. No where have I ever stated that.
Enabling nameplates does make it easier, but with 25 alliance also standing there (along with horde ghosts) this still makes it quite difficult.
This does help. Thank you.
Now, does anyone think stacking on NPCs to prevent players from interacting with said NPC was behavior that blizzard intended? Somehow i donât think so. Having to use macros and keybindings to simply interact with a neutral npc seems a little out there to me, does it not?

You can also /tar the full npc name. You make an interact macro with that specific npc as well.

Yes, my entire reason for starting the topic was to be salty, good work detective.
I would argue ANY action that is not strictly PvP combat that affects interacting with a neutral NPC is griefing. That is my argument. Feel free to disagree as others have. I am simply having a discussion.
Tons of people have said multiple methods for getting around it. So whatâs the problem?

I was already using targeting macros (not /targetexact, as i was not aware it even existed) and keybinded interactions. I will try nameplates in about 3 hours and 15 mins (4 hours in-game timer seems unnecessarily punitive but that is a different discussion).
But having to use macros and keybindings to simply interact with a neutral npc, to me, seems excessive.
This has been something that has been an âissueâ FOREVER in WoW. I remember waiting to click on something on cata launch day because there were so many people. Itâs on you for not doing your due diligence in figuring out game mechanics that specifically fix this âissueâ. (Or using google if you canât figure things out on your own)
Imagine being Horde and complaining about being killed

Delete this thread op. Silly boy
Please see
Were people doing it intentionally? If so I would think that would be a problem.
How could you know such a thing? I did look up targeting macros and interaction keybindings. Did you know âtargetexactâ was a thing? If you did congratulations, but i have a feeling most people were not aware.
