McconnelRet holding 19 other people hostage in WSG

[Tarregor-dalaran (Tarregor)]

well, with no name changes or realm xfers, the guy could just be blacklisted from alot of guilds and 5 man groups
though, if hes doing it to prove a point, then less people would do it; is this the case?

A football team is blowing out their opponent 35-0 and continues to score till the game is over. Is that griefing?

No, because unless the other team forfeits the game must continue to be played.

A boxer out boxes his opponent from all aspects, has the power to knock his opponent out but instead decides to just out perform him for every single round. Is that griefing?

I would call intentionally humiliating an opponent when you have the power to end the match at will extremely unsportsmanlike, so yes. That said, the other boxer can resign from the match.

Man, classic is going to be great, the more people like OP the better.

Fast Bg wins get you Ranks and reputation. You wont see this happening much when honor system comes out. It will be to their detriment. Even their team will say cap.

[Lucitia-kelthuzad]

And people want the old AV why now?

Because the objective of AV is to kill Drek/Vann, not camp the enemy team at a GY for 400 hks.

[Degno-emerald-dream (Degno)]

Being better then someone else is not greifing .

you got it chief

[Hàlfpînt-stormrage]

Why do you watch someone you also cry about?

[Agonyy-tichondrius (Agonyy)]

I’ve had this happen during my hundreds of WSG battles through vanilla - wotlk

best feeling ever is when your team can pull off a miraculous kill to retun the flag to score a 3rd cap

or if people on your team are leaving because they are frustrated to be replaced with strong players and then the tide of the battle shifts and your team ends up winning

PvP problems have PvP solutions. stop asking blizzard to change their game. If you don’t like it you are free to leave the Battleground and go farm gold for 15 minutes and try again in the next game.

[Northelock-sargeras]

You’re never going to make it in classic PvP…

Wait until AV lasts for days…

[Shenlong-dathremar]

Also the diminishing returns on hk’s on the same enemy means the longer your in AV, the worse off you are in the honor system.

[Mergons-terenas]

The only solution is he should be perma banned from all blizzard products until he writes an apology that is then posted on the front page of the WoW Website.

U mad bra?

[Punchnugget-cenarius]

So he had a gun to everyone’s head and forced them to play in the BG eh?

[Chroníc-emerald-dream]

Clearly people missing the point.

If it is really that clear cut, then it should be stopped actually, but thats due to real life damages.

McConnell is just a dick though.

[Chroníc-emerald-dream]

You dont watch boxing or at least don’t understand it. They wont stop the fight just because someone is getting worked (look at almost every Mayweather fight). They will stop ot however if their is a clear sign of danger to the athletes health. Like unable to catch their balance. Multiple knockdowns. Unable to see etc

[Morehwine-wyrmrest-accord (Morehwine)]

Saw this thread, then tuned in to Venruki’s stream. He’s currently playing on the Horde team opposite McConnell’s Alliance team. McConnell is almost unkillable. O_o Whoops, they finally killed him. Good job, Horde.

Also, it’s crazy how fun it is to watch a BG without timers.

lol I watch plenty. The scenario you described has someone clearly outclassed, by someone who also packs KO power. Mayweather was not that fighter.

If someone is completely outclassing someone and doing damage (because they have KO power) the ref or corner should be stopping that.
