Stormwind lag/Zone disruption?

Stormwind is lagging to the point it’s unplayable from a horde raid, they are disrupting RP areas with their off-server raids. This would be considered both Zone disruption and RP disruption, correct? zone disruption https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/13150 article https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/13923 RP disruption article.

Unable to even open mail, can’t see new messages in /say or /emote. Unable to play or Roleplay, they specifically went into areas where people Roleplay like Cathedral, around Mage Tower too. Been over an hour at this point.

Zone disruption typically happens over several days.

People PvP’ing in a PvP zone is not zone disruption as there is a PvP solution to the problem.

Raiding a oposite capitol is nothing new no matter the time as nok said pvp has a pvp solution blizzard wont intervene unless it lasts weeks maybe. Sw not the only place with ah.

It is not a PvP zone. It is a zone that is 1) not sharded so they intentionally had to get people pulled over from other servers to disrupt this one. They’ve been camping non-keep areas (where the king is) and disrupting all the RP in the entire area. Camping AHs, any NPCs, all of it.

If you’re not experienced with RP servers and the articles I linked, it might not be best to comment.

If it was regular PvP, the server wasn’t lagging to the point of being unplayable, and they were not disrupting RP you might have a point. But as it is, you do not.

someone doing something you don’t like doesn’t always equate to an actionable offense.

you have the ability to create a PvP group and deal with the situation like any other PvP situation.

That’s allowed. If an NPC is able to be attacked by the opposing faction, then they are fair game. Zone disruption would have to go on for a very long period of time, days if not closer to a week.

Killing NPCs would not be considered RP disruption.

Not if creating a group to counter them would cause further lag, or a server crash. This is not in warmode, this is in regular mode but stormwind doesn’t shard either.

Read the article linked. Sitting with mounts on top of someone is considered RP disruption. Same with horde grouping up in areas like Cathedral, around mage tower. You seem to be misinformed and not up to date on articles.

" * Someone is intentionally disrupting the gameplay on the zone

  • Another group keep killing all the mobs on the area so I cannot complete my quest
  • A guy is killing the quest giver over and over so nobody can pick up or turn in the quest"
    " Player is disrupting RP activities"

I’m not misinformed at all, I can assure you I’m quite correct.

If you think someone is breaking a rule, feel free to report them via a ticket. But I would not hold your breath if all they are doing is what you’ve outlined above.

Doesn’t seem to be the case, you said stuff outlined in the article as breaking the rules are not breaking the rules. You also do not play on RP servers

I don’t know if this is related, but using AH is impossible. Every item comes up as “No items found” or if the list does populate, I can’t purchase anything due to lag.

Your assumptions aside, I’m well versed in what is or is not considered a violation of the rules as I have been posting in the CS forums for well over 10 years.

Again, you’re welcome to report them in-game if you think they have violated a rule.

Posting here isn’t necessary to report them in-game.

Reminds me of those that say “I’ve been playing for x years” That doesn’t speak for anything.

I did, but there were over 200 of them.

Impossible to report 200 players and keep track of which ones were reported/not reported.

Probably not the same thing as the OP is referring to.

You’ll want to do a Full UI reset as outlined below:

No? Experience doesn’t speak for anything? That seems like a silly stance, but you’re welcome to it none the less. Best of luck with your reports.

I’m on the same realm as the horde raid, so it very well could be related. I’m not using any UI addons, for clarification.

Still could be a UI issue. Even the stock UI can have issues. Best thing to do is give that a shot since you don’t use addons, there’s nothing to reset if it doesn’t work.

No, you just literally cannot use the AH, mailboxes, or do anything else in the city the horde are raiding.

Then take the tram to ironforge posting here wont get heard by anyone that can do anything this is a player to player support forum.

Thankfully there are many cities with AHs and mailboxes that can be used too.

If the city is indeed lagging, then there are other places to go. The game is massive.

Thankfully the rules say zone disruption is against the rules, it doesn’t say just ‘lol go to another zone’.
