Yea, this is different from things like the Blood Plague or the Living Bomb. Those were event abilities that “leaked” out, and shouldn’t have.
The Infernal, well, it’s just an Infernal. It comes in, breaks free, and runs loose.

Still technically PvP. Or PvP’sI.
Are you? Maybe they’re just horde spies.
A class using its abilities is griefing? When did players get so soft?

I had a person follow me around for an hour sheeping my mobs. I reported them and a GM said they’d be asked to stop.
So yes. People can grief others just “using their spells.”

I definitely would

I know when players kited a World Boss to a city, sometimes a GM would come in and despawn the Boss due to it ruining the city.
So I was just curious to the extent Blizzard will get involved. Would hate to have a warlock player find themselves suspended for 24 hours after dropping a few infernos in an area and being reported by 10+ lowbies.
Sure you did.
Anyway, get some level 60s to come kill it. This safe space, no danger environment is part if the reason Current WoW has no heart and soul.

Didn’t the naxx event do the same thing? That was a blizzard promoted griefing event that lasted a week. I would hope they would give the same freedom to players.

I did it now and then on my warlock.
Not against ToS, and it’s wonderful; the 1 hour cooldown (IIRC) makes it so it’s not a constant problem if one warlock wants to do it.

while it may be considered “griefing”, which is really defined as someone doing something you don’t like, that doesn’t violate policy.

I think it was the End of BC one where you could become ghouls and PVA so youd just have arms of player controlled ghouls killing faction leader etc.

I did… unsure why you wouldn’t believe me. It wasn’t in Vanilla that happened. I had a mage follow me around and sheep my mobs. I reported them with an in-game ticket and he had stopped doing it since the tickets take a few days. GM said he’d talk to him.
I never said he got banned or anything.
Nah.
There’s a huge difference between doing it once in a while (which is fine) and continually making the game unplayable (which is not).
If one warlock does it, the infernal has a limited duration. That’s not a big deal. If a player has twelve warlocks on their account and rotates between them to keep a low-level zone permanently unusable for a long period of time, that’s griefing, and no reasonable person would think that that is ok.
Given that I, personally, would step in and do what I can to stop that from happening (I’d kill the infernals or whatever), why should we expect that the GMs should be held to a lesser standard of helpfulness than I as a random player?

Was for sure a ghoul or plaque event for naxx in vanilla and/or wotlk.
The dedication needed to pull this off, is amazing… I want to see this happen.

Maybe you need to stay retail.
That is going to happen it is part of an rpg experience because you don’t know when it will happen. Of course part of Vanilla.

That’s pretty basic warlock RPing. Someone watched the warlock wrong way 5 years ago. Now it’s payback time.
I should have rephrased my question. I understand doing it once is funny, but do it repeatedly, say every time it’s off cooldown.
