Pretty much reserved for anyone who represents old ways of thinking now.
“This limited time event would be really cool.”
“But I wont be able to constantly check my auctions, I dont want this event to happen.”
“OK boomer”

I don’t think it’s the older players insisting on the world being a safe space. It’s just a large cross section of retail players that emerged after the game became extremely casual friendly.
Which is fine. There should be a configurable setting for them to play in but that should also mean those of us who want a more social, more visceral world experience should also have our space.
That was pretty much Blizz’s response at the time though. The last few days were crazy, trying to get JUUUUUUST close enough to the ground to use a vendor without getting attacked (assuming the vendor wasn’t already turned, so often waiting for a respawn) just to buy arrows as a hunter. Good times!
And I would really, really love to see them try that again now, with how far downhill their PR has gone since Wrath.
Being a Paladin during the Wrath prepatch was pretty much the best time I have ever had in any game ever.
That’s not how it is on my lovely classic server, where we spend all day helping other lowbies and the last time I saw a flagged horde we exchanged waves. I carebear so hard my mere presence would kill you. It’s IvP - Innocence vs Player. 
I will neither confirm or deny my blocking off the exit to Terokkar Forest with my undead army absorbing any poor sobs that dared walk through it.

I loathed that event with every fiber of my Gnomish being.

Congrats, you have classic for that gameplay. Personally it bored me pretty fast.
Was Paladin, can confirm. We were Gods, big G.
I had a wonderfully tense moment on a lowby hunter in SW. Pitched fighting broke out on the streets and I ducked into a shop to escape the chaos. I hid behind some boxes and shadowmelded while hoping that my giant non-stealthing polar bear wouldn’t give me away. A geared max level draenai paladin bit the dust right outside the open doorway and It was a really wild ‘This has really gotten serious’ thing.
It. Was. Amazing! 
Also got to run Scarlet Monastery as a zombie with some friends for the lulz. It made all those npcs shouting ‘You carry the taint of the scourge!’ Way more accurate.
Edited to point out that there probably wouldn’t be a lot of outcry about that event today since so many people have vendor/repair mounts. When the event happened the first time, none of those were available and it was a matter of needing to visit an npc and dodging monsters.

It wouldn’t go over well at all. It was fun once you jumped in with both feet. Some days I defended to my endless deaths and others I spread the plague like no tomorrow. It was a lot of fun, but others said it caused to much disruption to the hum drum daily life on Azeroth… or something like that.
I bet it was cause you didnt hand out cookies fast enough wasn’t it? Lesson learned are sometimes through hardship and loathing.

I think the Legion pre patch event was better. They should go with something like that imo. Those were what “invasions” should have been.
You keep going back to this. Every single time I bring up your obviousness. Is it really your go to response? Can you at least be original?

It was truly one of the greatest things they have ever done. I played on an RP server, that was wild seeing armies of guilds coming in to fight Undead RPing and then people RPing as huge masses of ghouls and killing everyone lol
