War Mode and Roleplaying

Guys I went into Sunwell Plateau and it was filled with demons.

We need to alert the Blood Elves!

I find it humorous that that’s what you read when it wasn’t exactly what was said

the forum pvp has been intense these last few days

so what’s your rp backstory?

I’d really be interested in seeing verbatim quotes from one of these “trashy pvpbros” that lent “at least an ounce” of credibility to your point.

I already regret wasting my time with this

If you flag for Warmode, or PVP in any fashion, you are a fair target. RPing or not.

PVP is PVP - if you don’t like it, want to RP uninterrupted, opt out of PVP.

To the other issue - it’s allowed because realm hopping isn’t against the rules, nor is creating groups for PVP. Is it a jerk move? Yes, but that’s the only real issue.

I have another question about forum mechanics – when did the ignore option appear? Was it always there after all?

Just one small problem with that, people were not flagged and they were spamming chat and toys on them. WM does not phase you

It wasn’t raid for WRA only, they hit other hord dominated servers as well since hord is only good at taking advantage of numbers. Do not worry my friend, reckoning is on its way.

“Death to all traitors!”

Every.Single.Time.

Capital cities do not get an option to opt out of Warmode.

Except raiding cities mixes WM on and WM off people.

Next time at least pretend to know what you’re talking about

If you didn’t want chat and toys spammed and NPCs killed, you shouldn’t have flagged up for PVP!

What’s that? You didn’t flag up? Oh well you should have because that’s the PVP solution to a PVP problem!

yeah i dunno, people from the old pvp servers have always had odd ideas about what did or did not constitute disruptive play, and i’m not sure it’s their fault given how blizzard handled it on pvp servers, i just know it’s annoying here and now.

I really do just want someone to explain to me what the “opt out” of trolling is

I don’t understand why these PvP pros don’t go hit PvP type servers instead of RP servers. I mean…speaking from the perspective of someone who actually enjoys world PvP and a challenge, the last thing I want to do is harass to get some non-PvPer to flag up so I can 2 shot them. Is that supposed to make someone feel superior? Because to me, battling a non-PvPer in PvP is like killing a lowbie.

In the words of Total War, “…a shameful display.”

I suspect you and I have already figured out one possible solution

Their goal isn’t a fair fight, it’s to be as obnoxious as possible because their personality is based on antagonizing people.

big fish, little pond. the goal is not to have a fair fight or a challenge, it’s entirely to dunk on people they think can’t effectively fight back.

Self abasement story time:

Once upon a misty time in pandaria, ya gal Zoph was a pvp bro. Rogue elitist when rogues were at 3% class population world wide representation. I thought I got good at sub.

At 1550, my best irl friend was mentoring and it finally was an ego death moment to realize that wow i’m not that great and I can be taught. But, after that, stuff was awesome and I was consistently running against 18/900 teams.

The PvP Bro is just the Ego’s reaction. If this one would simply stop for a moment and reflect, he may learn something.

… sorry sleep dep is tolling it’s bell

Ok, let me make something clear. Wrymrest Accord wasn’t the only target of the raid. Furthermore, it wasn’t chosen because I have something against RPers.
Wrymrest Accord was chosen because, based on my past experience with it, WRA was perceived as a server that “fights back” when invaded.

I chose your server because I wanted a PVP challenge, not because I wanted to avoid one. From my experience, attacking WRA pisses people off, which causes them to form raids to try to evict us from the city.
I remember attacking Anduin once, not expecting the 20-40 man Alliance raid to already be in the throne room, waiting for us.
So no, don’t try to claim I attacked your server because I wanted to avoid PVP. I was seeking it.

As you can see from the stream, the moment PVP started to “die down,” I changed locations, going to Ironforge first (which was dead), and then attacking Stormwind/Goldshire on a DIFFERENT server (Tichondrius).

But ok look, if it makes y’all feel better, we killed Aggressorr multiple times during the raid.

See? He knows. :slight_smile:

No. Emerald Dream or even Moon Guard is what you’re looking for, at least Alliance side. Where did you hear something as preposterous as that?

Additionally, folks would shrug off PvP happening if folks weren’t being jackwagons. How hard is it for folks to not be obnoxious? Especially on a RP server?
