A GM contacted me today...

edit: I hope you're happy now.

I got a surprise message from a GM today. I parked all of my shaman (5x Bear Mounts) on the alliance battle master NPCs in Shattrath. Apparently the alliance didn't like that too much, because the GM actually told me to move! :D

To be honest I'd report you too. There are few things more annoying than someone deliberately positioning a mount over something you are trying to interact with.

Hit Ctrl-V, or whatever you have bound to "Show All Name Plates" and then right click on the NPCs name plate.
Problem solved.

The problem has been solved when the person deliberately trying to obscure access to an object has been removed. There is no acceptable reason for someone deliberately positioning five characters over a NPC. This is one of my pet peeves!

I agree but it's Blizzard's fault for not making NPCs unblockable.
I was just trying to point out a method to access even a blocked NPC as not many people seem to know about it :)

You're disrupting other people's game play. Quite frankly, I'm shocked that you didn't get a three-hour ban or some such thing. And by the way, anti-multiboxers read this forum all the time. Posting threads like this makes us all look bad. Don't do it again.

It is indeed.

However, while it may be a flaw of design it's certainly a flaw of character to abuse a known issue that prevents other players from easy access. And I do know about the CTRL+V trick, but it's easy enough to make that difficult when the person walks around in a highly crowded area, bouncing the nameplates everywhere.

I find there nothing to be gloating about in this thread. In fact, it's quite distasteful (not to mention -- as you've found -- against the rules) if you made it a point to AFK there on purpose. I'm fairly certain if you make it a habit, the GM won't be so lenient the next time.

You are lucky you were only told to move.
