Is It Griefing (and ban-able) when

[Valarían-hydraxis]

That is what the Devs call PVP nowadays.

[Aerîth-tichondrius]

don’t respond to them. If you respond then Blizzard doesn’t consider this to be harassment.

^
This is important to remember if someone harasses you via whisper, if you’re planning on reporting them.

[Thanen-the-scryers (Thanen)]

no its wpvp you chose to turn on.

[Aarschott-khaz-modan (Aarschott)]

As for the main question it’s called Zone Disruption

No.
Zone disruption is when a lot pf players do things to deliberately cause extreme lag or latency.

[Melaneth-dalaran]

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.

I somehow doubt that you actually tried waiting a couple hours.

And it isn’t Blizzard’s problem that you misunderstood what you were signing on for. If you wanted something fair, then you should have gone to the Battlegrounds. World PvP is inherently unfair. And if you didn’t expect to get camped and griefed, then you’re either hopelessly naive, or lying to yourself.

You could also go to groupfinder and join a random group or ask for an invite from someone off server and it would phase switch you to a different layer. Rez and hearth?

[Pû-eitrigg]

You should have 10-15 secs of immunity after a spirit healer rez to allow you to Hearth. If you are willing to eat the rez sickness, you should get a free pass to hearth home.

[Voidarcane-dalaran (Voidarcane)]

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.

I mean I enjoy a nice brawl, been in Nazj and we have 40 alliance vs 40 horde between that road between Mez and New Home and we push eachother into the bases and out. Thats WPvP that is fun and I enjoy.

Being camped for 2 hours by an entire guild and harassment isn’t.

no its wpvp you chose to turn on.

The point is not being able to turn it off because your being camped and cant rez at the spirit healer without being killed again.

You should have 10-15 secs of immunity after a spirit healer rez to allow you to Hearth. If you are willing to eat the rez sickness, you should get a free pass to hearth home.

Would be nice since it comes with durability loss.

[Rooikat-misha (Rooikat)]

you can walk to a different gy, they cannot camp you indefinitely

[Melaneth-dalaran]

That is what the Devs call PVP nowadays.

That has always been what world PVP was. Anyone who told you different was lying, either to you or to themselves.

[Caevan-moon-guard]

You could also go to groupfinder and join a random group or ask for an invite from someone off server and it would phase switch you to a different layer. Rez and hearth?

I’d stay and gather more reports for Blizzard if I were the OP. I wouldn’t leave and jump shards just because players want to log over and harass them. I’d sit there for hours gathering reports.

[Tinkerrific-dalaran (Tinkerrific)]

If this happened to me I would

1. Find a group to join which would swap my shard avoiding the campers, and yes you can do this when dead
2. If that wasn’t an option, run as far as I can from the graveyard and res and if I get killed there, keep repeating the process until I’m to far for them too care about

Of course I would have never, ever, rez at a graveyard. That’s just stupid and asking for this.

[Valarían-hydraxis]

Been around long enough to know that is not what pvp use to be.

[Tzesh-wyrmrest-accord]

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.

It’s not a guarantee that the person checking the reports would actually care, but people are still punished for breaking the chat rules. That means at least some cases are handled properly by moderators.

[Synsha-sargeras]

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

So you rez literally inside the inn, and turn off WM as soon as you rez (have the talent sheet open).

[Tsavis-area-52 (Tsavis)]

You don’t get immunity from being killed you don’t give honor if they kill you

[Wuzeh-wyrmrest-accord]

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

No.

then hopping to the opposite faction whispering them they suck at WPvP and should quit and unsub from WoW?

Yes, but they won’t do about it.

[Voidarcane-dalaran (Voidarcane)]

You don’t get immunity from being killed you don’t give honor if they kill you

Sadly they don’t care about getting honor they care about griefing others. Would love to have Dishonorable kills back in some for. Say if you kill in WM 5+ players who are 11 levels or lower below you, you get a stacking debuff reducing your damage and health for 10 mins.

[Thanen-the-scryers (Thanen)]

The point is not being able to turn it off because your being camped and cant rez at the spirit healer without being killed again.

your choice to turn it on in the first place.

[Melaneth-dalaran]

2. If that wasn’t an option, run as far as I can from the graveyard and res and if I get killed there, keep repeating the process until I’m to far for them too care about

If you can get anywhere with an ocean, corpse walk yourself to somewhere well underwater (as long as it isn’t Vash’jir). Unless there’s a warlock in the group, there’s a limit to how long they can stay underwater unless they’re willing to pop potions for it.
