A GM contacted me today...

haha i do that some times, its fun to do with the portals to the citys.

Agree with all the others that this is huge pet peeve of mine, and I too wish you could knock someones teeth out through the Internet. The Org Mailbox is frequently the target of Taurens mounted on mailboxes.

As its been said
Normal person + Anonymous + Crowd = Total ass hat.

althgouth blocking npc's is kinda mean and bad, i did it once for a few min in isle of sun well (forgot its name) was fun watching allies clickin me and dies

I was on Scarlet Crusade at the time. It's an RP-PvE server and there were a number of people who decided that flagging up and standing over the badge reward vendors would be a good move. Our GMs have a sense of humor. The people that flagged ended up getting ported to Sylvanas' chambers if they were Alliance and the Royal chambers if they were Horde. After that there weren't many people flagging on the vendors.

As I said earlier -- showing nameplates with the standard user interface does NOT work in high-traffic areas.

How do I know this? My guild loves to do things like this when a repair bot is dropped. We'll get a bunch of people on Amani Bears standing on the little robot -- or a little brewfest roto rooter teleporter will show up on top of him -- or a portal to Shatt (or worse - Karazhan) -- or a furbolg sitting on top of it... What's worse is they know all they have to do (even if you CTRL+V to show nameplates) is strafe back and forth across the robot and next thing you know the nameplate is bouncing left and right such that you're playing whack-a-mole with a nameplate.

Now, I'd imagine the battlemasters are a high-traffic area. People are always leaving their BGs or walking to a different battlemaster...

Have you ever tried doing a premade BG? It's literally impossible to queue from anywhere other than Darnassus.

guys.. I think Hypermoo got the picture.


No need for all the trashing. If I wanna read that I just go to the Blizzard forums.

A little collision detection would fix the problem .solidify the NPC's most effected.I wonder why they don't.Seems simple enough.

[Shogun]

There was a point when they were discussing/testing putting BG masters (and a few others) on pedestals that players can't access (like AH NPC's). No idea what ever happened to that.

[Marious]

This sucks I hate it when people do it!

Even our own damn faction do it, like in Shatt trying to get to the AV battlemaster and there is a bunch of others right on top or crowding it what the hell is up with that, dont you have something better to do other than being an idiot by doing this?

And yes he got flamed but he deserves it, come on now if it was you that could not get to said NPC you be pist off too and report the idiot that was doing it.

Check out the dailies out on the island... three of them are up on these platforms, I thought this was fucking brilliant, then they opened the badge vendor and it was a coplete clusterfuck with players sitting there flagged on our PVE server...

I changed my guilds raid target and 25 of us wiped clean all the alliance that were doing it while keeping us alive vs the shattered sun npc's... It's really sad that this is what it took to get them off it.

The day that s2 I went to area 52 to try and upgrade my shield before the raid. It took around a half an hour and couple deaths to get the correct npc targeted. There was an epic pile of skeletons on from all the people hovering over the npc. Eventually they put a vendor in org b/c it was such a huge problem.

While turning in my quests on the isle I still get a kick out of alliance accidently clicking my guys and then dieing.
