I mean, the whole POINT of War Mode was supposedly for PvE players to not get forced into world PvP…and then Blizz does THIS.

This event is so weak lol. there is an NPC right next to the AH house that insta cures you.
It seems NPCs who you infect dont turn into zombies unless they stay aggroed on you and die. If you die or leash them they dont stay infected.
the zombie self detonate does not mass infect people either.
unless they can find me, and zombies, for some IRL pvp that’s where i’m at as well. and i imagine a lot of the population will be until it gets fixed cuz they see that every joe casual hasn’t logged in in days.
Don’t lie,you have no friends.

yup, I can understand they be miffed about it and I would think that it’s odd other players don’t sympathize (except those hoping to gank non pvp-ers)

the entire point of this event, every time it’s done, is to grief people who don’t want to be griefed. that’s it. if it wasn’t it would just be us vs zombie.

Blizz wins, you still paid for the week.
Yes just like all the other times I afked the forums instead of playing. Yall get some forum pvp out of it though. And you guys cry non stop about us crying and we don’t log in so you can only grief each other who really wins here?

It would make more sense without the flagging and the zombies could just attack you. This is exactly one of those times where the Alliance and Horde usually set aside their differences to fight the greater threat. Last time it worked that way.
All I remember is that I couldn’t use the ah without getting killed so i logged out and then complained on the forums until it was changed. Let’s go good boiz!!!
I’m not crying about anything. I think it should have been WM only, but it’s not. 
I can go mog farm (or force myself to grind honor in BGs towards my bear forms if I really feel motivated to die a bunch to other players).
Im on a pve server/shard for a reason. I won’t wake up tomorrow in the middle of a gang war. I made my real life so I could deal with it. I did my wow life as well, and you guys are whining that you should be able to gank me against my will.
it IS the world. Halfjill Market just got wiped out and I got turned into a Zombie.
All for Sylvanas expansion 4.0. PUKE
Well it is kind of stupid that they said it would only affect players who were flagged and then a zombie attacking you flags you. What’s the point of the change?

Hey I never said it was a good thing I’m just saying that it’s mostly limited to Stormwind and orgrimmar.
I don’t mind the invasion at all. It’s part of the story. What i do mind is this event causing horribad lag even in areas not being attacked. I’m in Boraleus leveling another alt and i’m getting a solid 400-600ms world latency non stop. My normal is around 40-50ms. Then other times i just don’t do anything. No spell casts, can’t mount, can’t gather… nothing. Game just hangs then catches back up 10-15 secs later.
TLDR: Event is fine, servers still suck but we know Blizz will never fix it.
Thats what I am saying is that it isn’t just limited to org and sw. I have been leveling in Pandaria getting ready for the expac but the zombies have destroyed the hub in valley of the 4 winds.
Zombies are everywhere. There was a time whenI played a MHP and I liked killing zombies, but I am not a MHP anymore so all these zombies are no fun for me

Does it really seem so outlandish? Development has been running on spite and contempt since WoD.
Whats more, they know that they can get the first few licks in for free until management calls them out and they have to get back in line.
For only a week? That’s like a blank check.
Dev: Like flight? Well forget it forever!
Management: Umm… you need to fix this flight thing.
Dev: Fine, pathfinder, whatever.
Dev: Like those roads? Well all the trash can daze you now! HA!
Management: Lets not daze so much.
Dev: Fine, lower the threshhold I guess
Dev: Want that Allied Race? Do all the quests and then grind for months!
Management: We need to make it a little easier guys.
Dev: OMG! Fine, grind for weeks.
Dev: Trying to enjoy flight huh? Well the worms from beyond want you to enjoy RP walk speed.
Management: Ohhh lets lower that range and the effect.
Dev: PFFtth, whatever, worth it.
And there are so many other examples where punishment is the priority. And how clever of those cheeky devs to mobilize the game’s built it punishment system: Griefers.
Spending whole minutes of their day figuring out how to adversely affect other people’s gameplay, [as explicitly prohibited in the ToS] now they have their own week.
Its like a holiday from the rules and expectations that paying customers may have assembled over years of game play.
Were you expecting triple-A service in support of your game play supported by a clearly worded ToS to which you had to agree? Surprise!
We do what we want! Its our ToS and we can ignore it if we feel like it.
YOU have to follow the rules, even when we change them from day to day, but WE don’t have to.
And the greatest part is that YOU are paying for it.
Want to log out for a week? Pfft Okay. Thanks for your sub.
Enjoy grief week. If you aren’t having a good time, it wasn’t for you.

They can’t make everyone happy all the time. They nerfed this event from what it was going to be and it’s easy to avoid and move on from, yet the tears are flowing all over the forums. I can’t help but be entertained by it.
