Is It Griefing (and ban-able) when

When an entire guild of about 40 people are in 1 small area of a zone, camping lowbies at the graveyard and they point where they died (in WM) preventing them from turning off warmode, then hopping to the opposite faction whispering them they suck at WPvP and should quit and unsub from WoW?

Oh and your under level 100 and they are 120’s in 440+ ilvl gear.

Been happening to me for the past 2 hours…

EDIT: I Love WPvP I enjoy skirmishes in Nazj when there is a few dozen people on each side duking it out on the road between New Home and Mez pushing eachother into the bases and back out. I don’t mind dying.

This isn’t WPvP when a group is targeting a zone preventing players from leaving War Mode.

WPVP isnt bannable but if they harass you in whispers then right click and report.

PVP happened to people flagged PVP. Have you considered, y’know, logging in to a new character? One that isn’t flagged PvP? This is literally what you signed on for when you flagged.

I don’t think the killing part is bannable but the “making a new character cross faction to harass people” is.

Turn WM off if you do not want to accept the risks.
If you are being camped at the point at where you died and the grave yard, either get creative with your escape, wait for them to leave, or have a friend phase you to their server.
If it is upsetting you greatly, take a break.
It is just a game, after all.

The harassment part is. I’d suggest realm hopping and turning it off. The loser guild doing it will get bored when nobody is around for them to gank and pretend they are good at pvp.

Yup they are lv 1 throw away characters.

Well it sucks when you planned to level and you cant even go turn WM off because they are spawn camping you, try to fly/hearth out net-o-matic or they kill you, seeing paladins pop divine shield? Nope they have a priest to Mass-Dispell so they cant either.

Cant leave the area to turn it off. They have 4 people at the grave yard (spirit healer) and others on the locations of the corpses.

Then try my other suggestions. They usually work pretty well.
Get creative with your escape.
Wait for them to leave.
Have someone phase you to their server by inviting you to their group (Usually works best if they are in the same zone)

Flat terrain, no cliffs nearby to jump off of, and ya they aren’t leaving.

Right click and report, ahahahaha. Do you think someone is going to read it and do any action?

You better respawn at spirit and go somewhere else, Blizz doesnt care. Tested.

Log out, play an alt for 30 min. Log back in, see if anyone’s around before you rez. If they are, rinse and repeat until they’re gone. I guarantee that they won’t sit there camping your spawn point for two hours if you don’t keep spawning in to give them easy kills.

Or get guildies to come and help drive them off the graveyard long enough for you to spawn and hearth.

But seriously, this is what you signed on for when you flagged. Don’t whine because you don’t like what happens to people who are flagged.

Technically yes that would be griefing and a difficult situation.

Id probably just log off and play a different chatacter. You can report them sure, but the odds of any noticeable punishment going out are slim.

Yes I do because ive been suspended for it. They do read the reports

There’s always the ole res, die, res, die, res, die across the zone til you can rez inside an inn. Otherwise, just run in spirit form to a different zone and rez.

Unfortunately, that’s just one of the risks you have to accept if you turn on PvP. You may get ganked, camped, etc. etc.

Being camped at spirit, take rez sickness dead in 2-5 seconds.

Have done that been playing my shaman. There still there.

I signed up to die, not being camped and griefed to a point I can’t turn off WM because i cant get to a rest area.

Hard when they are 1-3 shoting you and a buddy of mine has said they are in the adjourning zones doing the same.

Yep, that’s harassment. Blizzard takes harassment very seriously. If it’s on-going harassment they can actually lose their account. report and don’t respond to them. If you respond then Blizzard doesn’t consider this to be harassment. Take swift action when this kind of behavior happens, OP, the game is a better place without elitists like this who’re out to ruin the enjoyment of others.

Honestly people who camp like that are the reason I rarely bother with war mode at all. Would I PvP if it was kill and move on? Meh sure a tit for tat can be fun but being camped rarely incites the “Everyone to X zone for a brawl” they think is gonna happen. I remember the last time I asked for help with gankers I was told to “Do it myself” … so I did I moved servers (back when they were PvP always).

As for the main question it’s called Zone Disruption so yes opening a ticket, list their names, time and specific area. Don’t expect them to suddenly poof offline though, it’s best at that point to move to an alt and play that.

Can you travel as a ghost to another graveyard and spirit res there?

Sure you would take res sickness, but then you can hearth to your hearth location and go to Org or SW and turn off warmode.

No. Blizzard has always said pvp problems come with pvp solutions.

Nope at least I never could it makes you rez at the closest spirit healer to your body.
