Given the state of the community at large, I regrettably agree that it’s in Blizzard’s financial interest to provide an opt-out. I’m wishing for a culture shift that won’t happen. People don’t find value in inconvenience and that’s what I find disagreeable. The whole ethos of “I want to play MY way because its MY EXPERIENCE and MY 15 dollars” is particularly odious. Alas, it’s not my position to tell the community how they should play.

It’s that mentality that absolutely does not belong in a shared world MMO.

I don’t think warmode on/off works in cities? What I mean by that is it doesn’t come into effect until you leave the city. Inside the city zone everyone is considered warmode off. (might just be sw/org it works that way)?
This is what those of us that had issues with the event as it stood asked for.
War mode needs to be expanded IMHO. All PvP belongs there.
I want a PvE experience. I want PvP players to have a PvP experience. For this event and everywhere else.
We just cant do it in the same shard/server/mode whatever.

So let me ask you this. If they put the event in WM, would you be OK with the entire event in WM? Meaning even the invasions where we’d kill rares and mini bosses? Would you be ok with opting out if it meant opting out of it all. Rewards included?

Don’t even pretend like that’s not a ridiculous analogy, or that a video game world needs to model its social contracts based on real life, or that it requires a social contract at all. The fact that you want to equate these two things is a gross undermining of the severity of actual violence and human rights violations.

Why would you want PvE inside of your warmode? I thought that’s what war mode was for - killing each other.
I just want my server to remain a PvE server. I want to PvE and that is the rates and mini bosses. Why does PvP factor into whether I get to PvE?
I mean what you asked would be like me asking well if you got to PvP like originally was, would you give up the ability to kill NPCs in towns, the races and mini bosses? I mean you are getting what you say you want - to PvP in the PvE shard against PvE players that are not choosing to fight you. Why would you need anything beyond that?

Yeah I think it would work as a Warmode only event but they’d have to make it work in the cities of course.

Do not compare a VIDEO GAME to a real life deplorable act. So ridiculous…

Thank you! Most on here are so disingenuous with their responses. They will throw anything against the wall to see if it sticks simply because they want to grief the PvE shard where they cant usually go kill other players.
I want them to have their fun, against other players like them that want to do it, but not at my expense. I am willing to compromise and give them EVERYTHING they way they want in war mode. I just ask to let me have my PvE shard.

Nah this is more like “hey why are you hitting your own face” kinda thing.

At the end of the day, it is just a game.
So you only want to opt out of the parts in an in game event you don’t like? But if there’s rewards attached to them then it should remain PvE so you can get them.
My idea above with healers and all would keep you out of being flagged. Once infected get to a healer or use the toy and problem solved. You won’t be turned into a ghoul or flagged to be attacked. So I don’t see the issue.

Wow you must be fun at parties.
If the event were to not be nerfed, this statement would still be true. Let’s be honest.
Sucks was about to have fun but the fact you need to be in warmode to even do it means it’s D.O.A already.
Not true at all. Just like I don’t have to get through an army of PvP players to get to my raid and take down a boss, why should I have to get through an army of PvP players to take down a daily boss? I mean, I DID chose a PvE server for a reason. Do you just want to make every server PvP from now on?
Keeping PvP players on PvP servers and out of my PvE server works just as good for me. Making it so PvP players cant make a level 1 on PvE servers and have the ability to disrupt that PvE server should be part of it.
Can you explain this in any way other than, I don’t get to grief other players? If you just want to be a killing zombie why does it matter if its in war mode?
If you played on a PvP server, did you obsess over what was going on on a PvE server and hate you couldn’t get to those players?

Maybe I should’ve read all the threads in GD before making the the comment is “seems balance OK” they jumped on me hard. I don’t mind being flagged for the event but now i am turned off because of it.
It’s all just servers now so this is totally irrelevant.
