Heck if I know, the guard told me to wear a mask per the Warchief or give him 500 gold. A girl gotta eat. But I’m totally gonna walk around naked in my garrison in protest.

Honestly, if Blizz put in an “opt out”, that’d be fine. But if they did, I hope it would be an irrevocable opt out for the entire event.
Part of the RP of the event is that the scourge has run amok. This causes an insane amount of danger across all of Azeroth (minus the Garrison).
I think that if people don’t want to experience the danger of the event, why should they be able to reap the rewards?

I’d be ok with that, actually.
You want to opt-out? Fine. Then stay out.
If you’re not going to just enjoy the event for what it is, you can stay in your own little phase away from the rest of us while we enjoy it.

I get your reasoning but mine for letting people opt in later is selfish.
I want them to see or hear that maybe it can be fun or people on their server are cooperating and it’s not the grief-fest they are anticipating. Then they can join in with us.
Oh well.

That’d be fine, and if you opt out that also means no Icecrown boss killing (to gear up before SL) and no fighting Nathanos in EPL. Either all in or not at all imo.
However, I’m still in favor of no opt in/out. World events should be experienced by all players, whether they individually like them or not.

Each and every post like this makes me more excited. It’s a few weeks for special event and will likely have limited time rewards you can show off. Send your Fun Police home, we don’t want them.

How so? Players have the agency to try and survive in groups, cleanse the infected and fight against the Scourge. You’ll also have the agency to help lowbies in lower level zones, and so on.
Others will have the agency to cast off the goody two shoes Champion of Azeroth schtick and be evil for a change.
Or, you have the agency to queue for instanced content and avoid it altogether.
This event is a big nod to actual player agency.

Oh you want to go with the realistic stance then? Ok then
-
DK’s should be flat out immune to this. We are a higher caliber of undead and in fact, we literally control ghouls to do our bidding so we should actually be able to control you when you are turned.
-
There should be established safe zones with a literal barrier of holy energy radiating nonstop that instantly destroys anyone infected and cleanses anyone carrying the infection. It is well within the capabilities of priests and paladins to do this and no way would a military force not respond to something like this in that manner.
-
There should be squads of immunized paladins pushing into infected areas and slaughtering ghouls. This is exactly what would happen as the law went to establish order.
-
Given we are heroes and actually do not want to be ghouls, we would not want to actually hurt others we spend our lives to protect. Actually allowing players to choose to be a zombie works against our player’s established lore.
If you want to argue that becoming a zombie makes us lose our minds and our sense of morality and justice…ok cool, then I argue you actually lose control of your mental facilities and thus when turned into a zombie, you as the person lose control of your avatar. Your avatar runs around and does zombie things, but YOU aren’t in control.

Oh that would be a very cool extra layer to the event!
I don’t need to, I’ve made my point. It’s perfectly accurate. You’re just mad that people don’t agree with you.
I’ll reiterate, and then I’m done because I ended this thread a long time ago.
- Limited time event. Deal with it.
- You can opt out by playing a different game.
- You’re not entitled to a single player environment in WoW.
- Pfft.

To be fair there are no lowbies. It’s retail, everyone is boosting to 110, or doesn’t even know where the starting zone is. This event might actually bring these zones back to life.
Nowhere did I say or imply that.
Now you’re just being stupid to be stupid.
Either that or you are HARD trolling, I can’t tell which.

Finally got in /reload don’t work. But logging out seems to. I can’t test effeciently though cause everytime i log out i get a world server down message. So it could just be a rollback thing.
Except DKs can die. If you want to follow this, I think it would be boss if DK’s who become infected turned into something bigger related to their spec.
An abomination for Unholy, a frostwyrm for Frost, and a San’layn for Blood.

Then your self-pwnage stays.
Also not mad. I’d participate if there are rewards. I don’t do anything in this game “for fun” unless it also improves my account in some fashion. If there are no rewards, I’ll play the same way I do now which is login to get my weekly cores, run my weekly mythic+, and if the mood strikes me, farm mogs or work on achivements or something of that nature.
I am a principled man though and argue for both what makes sense and is fair. If your precious zombie slaughterhouse mode was so beloved and fun, it would have plenty of people participating by sheer virtue of the event and not need those who don’t want to participate for whatever reason and thus giving them opt outs and/or allowing them to use the cities undisturbed wouldn’t actually matter.
But we both know (well I’m assuming you are smart enough to know) that what people really want is to be donkeyhats and get an extra thrill thinking their victims aren’t having fun with it.
Yes you did when you said the point was to remove their agency. You are arguing that the point of the event is that realistically, they are thrust into a realistic scenario where they should not have a choice. Fine then, let’s take that thread to the logical end which is what my points are about.

Except that doesn’t work. A DK is essentially the top of the chain. We don’t “devolve” inter lesser undead creatures.
A DK who dies wouldn’t just be turned into a ghoul or anything else. They would just simply be dead (though canocially we can raise each other).
I’d also argue (and forgot to) that DH’s would also likely be immune to this. As effectively a demon, they wouldn’t just suddenly be free of that and undead. There have been no “undead demons” at least as far as I’m aware so it stands to reason that they couldn’t be infected and would thus just die if overwhelmed rather than turn.
Let me stop you right here first off. Don’t call people whiners/complainers if your complaining about them not wanting to join your event and just want to play the game normally because you subjectively think the event is fun. What your doing isn’t better then those you claim to be “crying”. The “cryers” aren’t going around and telling people “If you don’t like to opt in, you need to log off or not use a good chunk of the content you crybaby”.
Telling you they don’t want to opt in and only play the normal game is perfectly reasonable, and your giving them unreasonable answers by using (Didn’t mean reporting, Poor wording too. 
) ad-hominems like that when it was completely uncalled for, or saying “it’s blizzard’s game” which that’s what they have gathered already, but not an actual answer. (and not to mention the inconsistent agrument of "you can’t OP out of X irl that only applies to this event but not to Warmode) Not to mention, they wanted to opt out of the event. Not remove, Opt. As in Options. Because having options is a good thing.
You do realize you guys, the ““non-criers” that apparently complain about the “criers”, but apparently it’s not crying when you do it,” contribute to this too? You come across as the people who don’t honestly like this event imo. I mean, if you really like this event, why aren’t you playing it? Why is somebody’s opinion against it is more interesting then the event?
Heck, by suggesting to people who doesn’t like it, to log off the game or avoid that good chunk of the content, aren’t you suggesting to Blizzard to remove it in entirely? I mean, isn’t that what also lead it to being cut short and have blizzard going like “never doing that again”?
