To get to Badlands you have to travel through loch modan. the guards are level 30 and so a level 40 should be able to travel there with little issue.
However, if there is a level 60 rogue with fiery weapon enchants waiting for a guard to strike you and flag you for pvp that rogue will then be able to stun-lock you and kill your character and all your progress.
Is this the spirit of hardcore? Are these types of griefing intended to only use summons to get to harder places? Was this an intention for pvp flagging? I am pretty upset at the amount of time I spent leveling carefully and building up my character steadily to just get absolutely griefed by another person.
Ugh…
Ya I’m done with my subscription. Griefing by exploiting pvp flag for permadeath is just terrible gameplay experience.
A misstep huge fall death.
Jumping and falling into lava death.
pulling more than you can handle death.
high level patrolling elite mob death.
Waiting for people to travel the only land road through low level guards to flag for gank. This is some kind of awful.
No.
The Rules of Engagement clearly states:
Play Nice, Play Fair
Gameplay that involves Zone Disruption and malicious player killing outside of consensual PvP will not be tolerated on Hardcore realms.
Unfortunately Blizz does not enforce their rules.
and they’ll probably give you a “forum holiday” for naming and shaming if you do not delete the name of the guilty Rogue.
A GM said it’s consensual PvP since getting attacked by a patrolling lvl 30 guard while controlling a lvl 40+ through loch modan is consensual PvP flagging for getting attacked by a town guard. Getting killed while mounted the entire time is just Peak Play Nice, Play Fair.
And getting marked for PvP just for being attacked by (and NOT hitting) enemy faction guards is a bug on HC servers for crissake

I never left my mount. I didn’t even recall getting hit until I was blinded by the Dwarf Inn then stunlock opener, watching your hardcore character in a 6 second stun die to fiery weapon enchant on a ?? Human Rogue is just a terrible experience. I never left my mount.
Exactly. He is abusing a known bug that Blizz has not bothered to fix ever since the launch of HC. He should be perma-banned.
Turns out you have to pay other people in your faction to avoid getting ganked because it’s a part of the hardcore experience to completely avoid walking to questing areas for your level as it may result in someone camping the areas to get non-consensual PvP flagged then murdered. Fun game.

you went into enemy territory. that road does not belong to your faction.
you didn’t respect territorial influence. That’s your fault.

Maybe just maybe, a game design flaw to not have a direct route to a quest hub and quest turn in area. Your suggestion that Uldaman dungeon should just get skipped because the only path is through enemy territory and that road to get to a questing area isn’t there.
You’d think the devs would’ve had a path for horde to get to Badlands to avoid permadeath. When they designed it permadeath wasn’t taken into account.
Yep! You weren’t wary inside of alliance territory. You should apologize to the guy for making this thread and compliment his cleverness and great skill level instead.

Yes cleverness and great skill level. To log out in loch modan, use local defense alerts to log in wait near the road. Blind, Chain-stun, murder. Log out. Rinse, grief, repeat.
Wary for invisible level 60’s. Wary indeed.
why do you think the summoners in Kargath make so much money, welcome to HC Hustle baby

you shouldn’t have travelled alone. it’s an MMORPG.

everything is working as intended. truth is you didn’t appreciate the risk you were taking. next time, buy a summon.

also as a lvl 40, it’s actually very easy to avoid aggroing a lvl 30 guard what’s being asked of you is very little.

It is absolutely cockamamie to flag for consensual PvP by guards roaming within an enclosed tunnel that combine questing area to quest turn-in area.
