The Plague Event is Fine, but only if it's Opt-In

‘Two Weeks O’ Pet Battles’ is a prepatch event that lasts like two weeks. There’s no difference.

Even better.

No, I didn’t want titan forging removed.

Also this is the end of a massive bloody expansion, we’re in the dead zone between expansions without much to do but bloody horrific visions to keep people busy. Of course something new an intresting is going to pique people’s interest.

But it’ll probably end up the exact same way again, everyone interested in the event will rush to it, and overly hype it up, then it’ll crash with regular people whom have no idea what is coming, and it’s going to be the forums filled with screaming bloody murder about people not being able to do anything because people are griefing -everywhere-

Not to mention it’ll be worse cause multiple healer classes got their ability to remove disease taken away from them. So that’ll be “fun”

It’s just going to be a massive grief fest. Some people are into that I suppose, but I’m pretty sure we’re gonna have a repeat of last time, alot of angry people afterwards telling blizzard to “Never do that again.” and hopefully blizzard will listen this time.

It really is. Pet battles have nothing to do with the core gameplay and lore. So yeah, that’s just stupid.

It’s not even just PvE vs PvP. The game is designed around systems that you have little choice about if you actually want to play the game, especially in Legion and Battle for Azeroth where we had things like AP grinds.

I didn’t get to opt out of being horribly time gated when I wanted to unlock Void Elves and needed to farm rep for it. I didn’t get to opt out of multiple expansions of RNG on top of RNG titanforging systems for items.

Don’t think you know the definition of this. There is no griefing because there is a PvP solution. Once again go read how Blizzard defines griefing. Their house their definitions. It’s not griefing.

Thank god titanforging is dead and gone. Just wanted to add that. Okay, back to the topic

Its like having too much to drink…you feel like you are using the same abilities, while others might see it differently ^^

The difference here is you bought an expansion that advertised these things. Legion and BFA didn’t keep any secrets to their progression systems. If you didn’t like those systems, then yes, you should probably not engage with the expansions.

This event is a PvP event. I opted out of PvP. Yet players still get to kill me in this event. THERE is the logical disconnect.

That’s it, it’s on… I’m gonna hunt you down with my zombie and kill you at every turn I see! You gonna be brainless like the rest of us.

lol because a game = real life
man you really are that dumb

So? If ~lore~ justified it, you’d accept two weeks of unavoidable Pet Battles then?

It’s called adding realism in the story to make it more believable. If you don’t understand that you lack brains, then again you are forsaken so… I guess that checks out.

Hahaha let’s do it!

There isn’t a PvP solution to your own team purposely catching it, and flying off to random locals and then just immediately exploding on NPCs and causing it to rapidly spread.

I can’t even cleanse it off them anymore.

Sure there is, Kill them before they spread it.

Because we have perfect knowledge of player movement.

Form Patrols and then call it out just like in a BG?

And if they’re simply carriers of the debuff instead of Ghouls, you what, follow them around and abandon your post?

Oh yes, let me just instantly kill this person who caught it 3 zones away, and ran off to a lowbie zone to blow up on someone… -oh- they literally stood next to npcs and blew up the moment they turned into zombies, and now all teh NPCs are infected, and I still cannot cleanse it. :thinking: now the entire towns being turned into zombies by my own faction. Greaaat
