Why is there a random, automatic PvP flagging area in Ardenweald?

Blizz seriously it’s been 16 years and you’re still doing this BS?

Some of us don’t want it and we clearly express that by not flagging for PvP and not turning on “War Mode” and you think “Hey, know what would be fun? Flagging them for PvP anyway!”

It got old a long time ago.

In this case game shouldn’t allow you to accept this quest automatically. Like towers in Hellfire peninsula and other places - “you have to flag pvp to participate in this”.

Or at least give warnings like it did in Legion. “If you remain here you will be flagged…”

Are you sure you didn’t just get too close to an enemy faction’s camp?

Yeah, but these are annoying too :smiley: I always manage not be able to run away because I have no idea where this zone ends. :man_facepalming:

There are no faction camps in Shadowlands.

Oh yeah, I didn’t even think about that.

I suggest you stay out of wpvp world quests area bub, kinda a no brainer…

I quit because of automated flags from zombies. I was gifted the expansion by a friend but I can understand the view of frustration.

With how weirdly they aren’t shown on your map … i kinda understand Op’s issue with them …

Someone with wm off would never notice their existence unless they use a WQ addon :wink:

WPvP world quests should not exist in non-Warmode.

If people want to engage in pvp there’s an entire dedicated mode that they can engage in, or disengage in as the mood suits them.

While we’re at it. Having them be FFA is stupid as heck. One of my favorite things in wpvp has been showing up with a clutch heal/cc/kill to save someone. I can’t really do that when everyone is red.

Having some dedicated FFA area? Sure. Drop an arena somewhere, seems right up Maldraxxus’ plot even. But all of them being FFA? Dumb.

Especially given that the FFA seems to bleed way outside the quest area at times. Now I just avoid them because they’re messes.

I think Gossamer Cliffs is the region. Went there for a treasure box spawn. The one where you boom shroom up to the top of a wall.

Oh yeah, I’ve been there. It’s along this road, I think it’s the same one you take to get to where Humongozz is?
I definitely got real confused running down it one time looking for herbs, seeing marked players running by. I can note that the PvP-marked effect falls off once you leave that general vicinity though. Just keep running!

Yeah at least it isn’t the one that leaves you flagged for 5 minutes.

Still, though…why?

I honestly have no idea. There wasn’t any treasures around, or any cool or rare NPCs to defend. Maybe I missed the memo somewhere?

I haven’t even run across one in any other zone. Just Ardenweald. Maybe a bug?

Btw these are free for all areas, meaning faction doesn’t matter. I’ve killed plenty of horde in these areas. Pvp is fun doesn’t matter the faction. And Each zone has one of these. It’s under hero’s rest in bastion for example
