Is dispelling World Buffs now bannable?

[Píper-bloodsail-buccaneers]

@Bodicca-westfall

Because otherwise you miss out on half the game, man! The danger . . . the excitement . . . the dispels!

Oh yes, and P2 was a nightmare, for them.

Meanwhile in PVE realms...?

So how has phase 2 affected pve realms so far?

Hold on while I reroll on a PVE server because of my opinion of a single lame non-combat L12 tool for griefing folks heading into a raid.

Why did you roll on a pvp server in the first place?

Because I enjoy pvp combat?

Yep, and this is a form of pvp combat you can be subjected to on a pvp realm.

If you only want pvp combat in the form of duels or BG’s, well pve realms are there

Combat isn’t just about hitting another player with spells and abilities. Part of combat is the act of engaging another player, by any means available. You’re flagged on a pvp realm, so anything that can be cast on you is a valid tactic to engage an opponent, whether you agree with it or not.

As a druid, do you never CC someone to run away and heal yourself? Or to escape a losing battle? That’s not combat by your definition, but it is a part of pvp.

Jeez, I’ve CC’d other players to beat them to a node in the open world… should I be banned for dishonourable play as well?

[Penny-blood-furnace (Penny)]

@Misadventure-herod

Stop pretending that the complaint is about the entirety of wpvp. This is a specific thing that has virtually nothing to do with pvp combat.

I’m just gonna throw it out there… this specific thing that happened, happens all the time. People camp raid entrances to dispel players on their way in. The streamer that got mad was a fool… if you don’t want to get stream sniped and lose your precious world buffs, then A) don’t stream yourself on a buffed character headed to a raid, and B) don’t play on a pvp realm.

Problem solved.

You enjoy it when its on YOUR terms which WPvP almost never is. PvE seems more your style

You keep saying it is “part of” combat, but in the case of dispelling, it is too often ALL that is being done, with no actual combat occurring.

False equivalency is false.

Isn’t the person doing the dispelling also being killed? By people pvping?

Sounds like your problem, honestly.

If you don’t like it, you can roll PvE.

If it’s not a big enough deal to roll PvE… then tough. It’s part of a PvP server, which you chose. Arguing someone should be banned for it is ridiculous.

Which I mean, at least you’re consistent.

[Thirstybeta-thunderfury]

I’m a bit concerned that Blizzard GMs are just NEET streamer audiences. What happened to professional workers that actually came into an office and did job? Blizzard are you really letting volunteer nerds moderate your IP?

[Linthienia-arthas]

I’m just sitting here going wth, when I leveled on tich and would be camped for 8 hours non stop…I got told tough…it had to be going on for a week…and this gets someone banned…I lost months of play to griefing and this gets it?

[Chucktaurus-kromcrush]

Sup dispel.

From my understanding none of those things are considered “griefing” because there is a PvP solution to almost all of it. Albeit sometimes it, like getting dispelled by rezzers, is impossible to stop.

From what I read a long time ago (because I gank frequently) its when you TARGET someone constantly. If I gank YOU and only YOU for hours or days on end you can shake some branches and might get a ban to fall on me for targeted harassment. However if I just show up once a week and smack the buffs off you in felwood. That’s A-OK to blizz xD.

@Penny-blood-furnace

and then complain about every dirty trick that gets used

Using a spell on an enemy player is the definition of pvp combat. Try again.

[Redstar-drakkari]

rez-dispelling raiders with low level toons, should be a bannable offense

[Pollz-bloodsail-buccaneers]

Yeah. It’s a real bad take. Especially since rolling on a PvP server is explicit and expressed consent.

[Taintedheals-sulthraze]

@Dundee-sulfuras

Good lol, those priests need to get a life

Everyone has their own thing, some people grind rank 14 some try for world first, and some people lay in wait to dispel people’s buffs.
Is it a jerk thing to do? Yes.
Should you get banned for doing it? No.

[Wolfmane-bloodsail-buccaneers]

If you join a PvP server and go into contested territory, you are consenting to being engaged by the opposite faction at any time, regardless of how. If the priest had somehow locked down his ability to play, then it’d be considered unfair based on what I’ve seen in Classic. But removing a debuff? Of all griefy things that is so low down on the list??

[Januaryy-kelthuzad]

Let’s go with no. Go away.

Dispelling is part of combat. One definition of combat is “action taken against.” Look up the damn word because you don’t even know what it means. That being said, if dealing damage was the only thing that constituted PvP then we wouldn’t have any CC abilities or healing.

I suppose you want those removed as well?

Care to explain why?
