Players should NOT be able to mount on prepatch NPCS

Blizz, we know you can create an invisible barrier to prevent players from mounting on top of NPC’s. This is a limited time event that you knew players would flock to. Common courtesy doesn’t exist in this community, please, put in the barrier and get these idiots off their mounts.

Zoom into first person and walk inside the mount.

I was able to do the quest, the point is, we shouldn’t have to fight stupidity to do so.

I report anyone intentionally blocking an NPC with a mount.

I have to say I agree. It’s annoying af and people shouldn’t have to be working around others being d*cks.
Make those zones temporarily dismount areas, at least for the first few days.

They have made it a lot easier to click through mounts over the years at least.

Genn was swarmed by a thousand rabbid Alliance today on my realm (and I’m sure all others). It wasn’t terribly hard to grab the quest.

Yeah… It completely ruins the experience to be honest. My server Org was just unbearable with the lag, and over 200 players were all on top of Lorthemar and Calia.

Yes, there are macros and zoom to get the quests, that’s not the point.

The point is, once again, Blizzard doesn’t put the effort where it counts. Why did we have this event held back for so long, and stuck on “testing” in PTR for so long, only to go live with the EXACT same lag issues?

My mind took this weird places…

For a while in BfA, the game would fade out any other players around certain NPC’s (maybe all NPC’s, I can’t remember). So crowding wasn’t an issue. But ever since version 9.0 launched, that went away. The fading just doesn’t work anymore. That would’ve been a good solution for this problem, I think.

Agreed, I just moused over everybody until my cursor changed. I think I was the only one off my mount…

Isle of Thunder is a perfect example of this. The daily quest NPCs had a “mana barrier” around them, preventing players from mounting within ~20 yards of the quest giver. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!!!

This. Always. Happens.

I don’t understand it anymore. Every time this kind of situation arises, they never learn. Expansion after expansion. If blizz was a forum poster they would have been permanently banned for repeated trolling offenses years ago.

Breaking my Immersion! I agree put up barriers for the internet idiots that have no common decency!

Common sense. Yet blizzard ignores.

blizz has the tech to make the area around quest NPCs dismount people, for whatever reason they didn’t do it here.
Which just stinks of them rushing

in before GD demands blanket bans for anybody who mounts within 25 yards of any npc

Indeed. The problem is if a bunch of people intentionally block it with vendor mounts because the vendors are not click through. You’ll mouse over the mount vendors continually while trying to find the NPC.

Those people know what they’re doing. Easy fix is the Khadgar treatment. Dismount anyone within 8-10 yards. ez

honestly yes they should start banning people for blatant griefing.
People will stop real quick once they get 12 hour bans for doing this.
