Sounds like an uneven warmode is right up your ally? Have fun!

Like it or not. Your incovieniences can add to the game story, immersion, and make a event feel like a event.
Taking away player choice for a limited time, and make it where some players struggling does more good for the game than harm. It won’t last, and them being upset about it for two weeks. If they are willing to not put up with it that long and quit. We done a public service of getting rid of players that need to not play a mmo.
This is what happens when Blizzard plays it safe, and tries to please all sides. It becomes a failure, this is the worse pre patch event ever. Hell I had more fun with the night elf mohawk event.

Kind of works both ways, by satisfying your need to be excluded from a MMO event so that no one participates is so much fun. Keep ruining the game, more actual players will leave so you can stand around Goldshire rping your weird things

I would’ve changed it to grant easy xp for players leveling alts or were just flatout new to the game. That way it wouldn’t be a waste of time.
I’m aware of this. And so far only 1 expansion doesn’t have an access point outside of Stormwind City. As for the other cities, you have access to all of them in Boralus/Zuldazar.
Everytime blizzard reads comments like yours about getting rid of players and comments like this.
You are reinforcing that they did the correct thing. You guys are the minority and you actually aren’t people any game wants to have as customers.

According to you of course… And you know the more i read you , the more i think you should really cancel your subscription and play Eve-online. In Eve, griefing is not only allow it’s encouraged… you’ll fit right in.

Playing it safe would have been to remove the event. Having a choice is best for everyone.
Turn on warmode, have fun. You won’t even notice the event is off for anyone. How other players play has absolutely no bearing on your play. The whole game cannot cater to you.
And sorry if you get ganked when WM is on

More like a controversial subject then in the minority. But chasing players away from the game is extreme. I’ve experienced some cases though where chasing players out of the game has been for the better.
If that’s how someone want’s to play it doesn’t affect you (RP is not my thing but I don’t attack it either).
If not enough people are pvp-ing then it’s because not enough people want that. Forcing everyone to play how they do not want to will empty the game’s population faster than your prophecy of doom
This is a you thing. Get on your server discord or forums. Start events, get people participating. Being able to grief people that have no interest in a short event would not have saved the game from your mass exodus predictions

Sorry hun the first unbalanced Scourge Event the only place safe was not to log in.
If your that unhappy unsubscribe and come back in December when the event is done and over and then you won’t have to wallow in agonizing sadness over not being able to grief someone 30-40 levels below you.
Most of us rolled on PVE servers for a reason and if your PVP server isn’t cutting it for you anymore there is always Guild Wars 2’s PVP.

No, no, no… this is a YOU thing. People like YOU have changed how the game evolved and ruined it, turning away millions of users to find more interesting ways to spend their precious leisure time gaming.
So defend it, and enjoy your rewards of a rapidly declining population. It’s all just for you!

I mean that’s a sound idea, but i’m trying to wonder what it will be like in execution now. Would the ghoul mode event would be required to level though now to get easy experience? 
I’m not really sure on this honestly, because i don’t think an event should be judged by “how much XP per minute i get” and more on the other aspects.
Access to all of the stuff that capital cities has? The newer zones requires you to be an engineer to use the AH.
If you mean portals… well there’s no portals to Darnassus/Undercity, Outlands, Northrend, Pandaria, Draenor and Broken Isles in Boralus/Zuldazar.
Well, it’s not encouraged or allowed in WoW. Which if the event went the way it was originally made to be, then it still wouldn’t have been griefing.

No ACTUALLY Blizzard catering to Raiders and Griefers along with Terrible Treatment of the player base ( Fight over Flight in Warlords fiasco ) COST BLIZZARD the Millions of Subscribers they lost.
NOT the " oh you’ve changed the world pre-patch event so most of the player base that have chosen PVE servers and already elected to opt out of PVP Grief fests; won’t be participating. "

The fact that people can’t be incovienienced at all for a few weeks for a event, and that is the end of the world for them is the sad thing about this.
They are not willing even for a short time to say well I don’t like it, but it is a event and I don’t mind other players having fun. No, it is. How dare the game do something I don’t like and others do, and it RUINS the game for me.
This whole, give the player choice all the time is not good game design when it comes to rare events. Because this one is a choice. That means that the impact is not here, and the world does not feel like it is being invaded.
It is like them saying, hey scourge is coming up from the ground eatting people, if you feel like helping…could you? Don’t feel like it? I understand, Bump them.
It makes no sense at all. Where is the danger? This is why making it a choice is bad for the game. Not all things should be a choice in a mmo.

Why are you blaming me?
I leveled a bunch of character pre warmode on pvp servers. Ever level a holy priest like that? Good times
It just doesn’t bother me that people can opt out. A game is voluntary.
So you cannot bully some unwilling people, you’ll survive.
Now if someone has WM on and comes here and complains about the event, give him both barrels, I’ll join you.
Forcing PVP on players with warmode off sounds like griefing to me, but let’s just agree that we are going to disagree on that. 
Well considering it’s the final moments of the expansion, I’d imagine it would be good to throw out XP like hotcakes to quickly get players ready to start leveling in the Shadowlands. It’s kind of like the Hallows End when you get a massive boost in Rep. You don’t have to nor are you going to wait a full year just to build rep but instead taking advantage of what’s going on at the time.
What it would look like though? No clue 
I’m talking about in general. All of the expansions listed off has access to them outside of the portals in SW except Pandaria. To a newer player though, they’d be out of luck. But in its place they’d have the event to quickly level their toons if that was their goal. Had they done the XP route.
A invasion happen the game changes its rules and allows temp pvp. It is not griefing if it is part of a event.
Like it or not.

We can disagree but I still consider you wrong. Because griefing is an actionable offense. I’m someone who has done extensive amounts of World PvP and I can tell you for certain that Blizzard does not consider that griefing.
