Jaina's Locket Griefing

ill test in a bit with a friend, i keep it in bank and farming rares new WQ that spawned

They already suck the fun out of many toys because folks whine. The train toy is an early example. You missed out on a trashpile. Oh boohoo.

Missed a rare spawn when the portal sent us away at ~400/500 of the pile and others finished it. Also what purpose would you say a toy (item in this case) has on top of a community event that only teleports people away from the event?

Yeah it sucks. The toys always get fixed, this one does need fixing.

unless this item was move to a toy section its not a toy but its like the org/sw cloak that ports you to the capital

That is why I’ve been saying item. It wasn’t converted to a toy like the other two items you got during the questline (Sylvanas’ Music Box and Muradin’s Favor).

Calling this “griefing” is extremely melodramatic.

i never seen this happen until the other day before i got the scrap pile gallagio mount. was in a group for nearly 3 hours farming and someone used that toy. and because you have to actively click on the scrap pile to fill the bar, just about everyone got ported to dalaran.

so yea, very annoying. everyone thought it was the only mage in group. he got booted and possibly reported, the poor thing.

Its just a normal portal to northrend dalaran.
A toy you get from doing the shadowmourne legendary questline.

Super niche. Not many have it to begin with.
This is literally a situation of someone is super bored looking for something to be upset about lol.

I don’t get upset, in fact I really like it when I click thinking one thing and get another. My favorite is portal roulette when I end up dropping from the sky into the Dalaran crater. The Mole Machine sitting next to a portal is another, though it used to take us to a spot that had some fun drinks, but it doesn’t anymore. And, if I’m in a raid and they got me good, they can wait until I get back.

Wouldn’t an easier solution be to just let you add filters to the interact key? The fact that it attempts to interact with anything in range is just lazy design, and should be an easy fix by allowing you to disable/enable categories of objects.

We know they can do it because they already have a similar target filtering system in place for pets and battle pets, yes? Not to mention intractables dropped by someone not in your group.

By default the game should announce when players in your group/raid use a portal item.

Man I miss portal roulette, good times with that,. especially when you added crater to the mix.

Is the debate trolling vs griefing? I’d like to give a nod to the Feast of Fishes, best used at the start of the LFR. Surprisingly, one hears few complaints as people (don’t know why) like to flop around as a fish.

Sounds like a skill issue. Be more careful where you click next time.

I mean… the only reason to do it is to screw with people and make them miss out on a chance at the rare.

I don’t understand why most everyone here is trashing others over wanting to be able to track who is screwing with the group so they can remove the problem.

If you read the thread, you’ll understand the issue isn’t simply “I didn’t click carefully.” It’s an interact key and how the scrap piles work.

The solution people have come up with if they don’t need cans is just to afk at the various junk heaps until the rare spawns because they aren’t going to risk accidentally clicking a portal after waiting for 5min up to 3 hours for a rare to spawn in.

if you’re dumb enough to click on the portal without checking where it goes, thats on you.
