And you only speak for what Lethal wants

I can only speak for what I want. Which is why it hurts so much when people violate it. If I say ‘no’, you don’t get to say ‘but actually, yes’.

To be really honest, I like causing havoc and as much chaos as possible, I do it in bgs anyway and sometimes it helps us win.
But I can see where folks would want to opt out.
I keep warmode on because I am a PvPer and well, I’m not the most merciful one out there.
I’m not telling you yes or no. In fact. I really couldn’t care if you even exist. You’ve chosen to try and make this all about you and me personally.
I’m saying my agency, and the agency of others that would like to not experience the PvP side of the event is being violated, because War Mode isn’t doing its job. I’m not trying to sabotage or ruin or otherwise hamstring your fun, but you shouldn’t get to have your fun at my expense if I didn’t agree to it.

The rules are temporarily suspended for a short time. The world didn’t end last time even though it took place on pve and pvp servers alike. It wont be the end of the world now.
And you do that by choice, this event is removing that choice from half of the community.

But it hurts nothing to allow people uninterested in PvP to step aside and let the PvP fiends do their worst to each other.
Why do you need unwilling victims for this?

In general saying no means distancing yourself from a thing. It rarely means the thing changes for you. I’ve lived through this a plethora of times.
Outside of a very specific engagement, which I really damn hope you’re not referencing saying no means you opt to avoid the situation, not that the situation can’t occur.
You know what you want, you’ve made it clear to us, we know what you want. Like many things in life this doesn’t mean the thing shouldn’t happen, just that you won’t like it. That’s what you add here; you won’t like it if it happens, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t happen objectively.

Well, wrath had this exact same thing happen. I’m pretty sure most found it amusing but back then, Blizzard didn’t cave to the loudest voices.
To me, how can you have a real RPG, which people keep begging to bring back, if everything goes peachy clean like a machine day after day?
Having a couple days of pure insanity compared to thousands of days where everything is normal is fine.
Personally, maybe not at this level, I’d like to see more world changing events when major new content launches and things get taken over and disrupted. So it feels like a world
Why is War Mode being broken for this? I trusted the system to keep this kind of grief away from me. Now my preference means nothing?
What did I do wrong?

The most chaotic thing I think was legendary in Warcraft was whoever kited that one boss to Stormwind who proceeded to kill everyone in it. Till a GM stopped it.
In 2008 the event took place on all server types. In this instance, you don’t get a choice. You are correct. People voiced their concerns last time too, and cried non consensual. And it happened without their concent.
Again, you did nothing, because it’s not about you, at all.
And that is a problem.
Tell me. What’s the difference to the event, if I get to opt out, versus just logging out for its duration? Why is it SO CRUCIAL that I die?

I would’ve liked to see at the first week of 8.3, every npc in the world is hostile to you. Every. Last. One. Make it feel like the Old Gods are taking over.
You don’t get to opt out. So I guess we’ll never find out.
I can log off. I’d really rather not, but some people’s playtime is more important than mine, I guess.

If it’s not a game you want to play. Don’t. What do you want a cookie?
If it helps you’re a Horde member, just go to a less populated city like Silvermoon.
You’re also a mage, it shouldn’t be a problem to run to a safer city.
