    What can I say? I just love chaos. I like it when players go out of their way to create their own fun and stories, in a game as big as WoW, among them. I value all mischief, so therefor I decided to bring you a small history lesson, of some of the most notable events of the past and some more recent ones. Though sometimes controversial, these types of happenings are what make for great stories later down the line when you're hanging out with friends and retelling past events, so I hope you have fun remembering or even learning about these more popular ones :)
    The last segment of this video is very interesting to me as I feel that in all this time being invested in the wacky stuff players did to make eacho ther miserable, I had never heard or come across this one before. A very rare thing within the WoW sphere nowadays to have something that lacks coverage like that, but I hope I've done it justice and you enjoy!
    Thanks to Peppie (kakkie/ if - realm Living Flame) for his amazing story!

Man...I was so let down and sad when pre classic wrath removed the plague event due to these people......

      @CaptainGrim Displate is pretty suspect of some insanely high level artwork and property theft and they need to be stopped not encouraged to profit from other peoples works. They have a "verification process" which lays all of the responsibility upon the image uploader to be legitimate but quite clearly the world doesn't work like that and people copy paste a lot of work on the internet which is still theft. To wash their hands of any responsibility of validation while making a huge profit from said works is unfair, as a content CREATOR and ARTIST such as yourself surely you can agree with this...

    During the BFA expansion, there is an Event where you can ride a horse named Cooper, but if you dismounted him before finishing the quest, Cooper would instead Follow you around like a (non combat) pet and this stacked, so you could end up with like +20 Coopers following you in 2 straight lines. And i brought this attention to some friends, i showed them how it's done, other players who was gonna do the daily saw us doing it, asked how, i told them, then we got the idea to mount up, with an army of Coopers each to Kul Tiras, more and more people were told how to do it, and eventually, there was enough coopers to fill the whole damn screen!
    I was standing by the railing facing the fountain by the Flight Master, there wasn't a single surface that was safe from Coopers, Even the ROOFS had Coopers!

    The King Jokumm incident made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. Peppie showed the right amount of restraint to have his cake and eat it too, being able to pretty much enjoy an exclusive Ice Giant playable race for a few days before he decided to turn himself in. That GM was super cool to see the humor in it only give him a slap on the wrist, if things had gotten more out of hand the GM may have not been so understanding and may have been much less forgiving.

Sufffice to say that was a solid no it just caused her to bug out repeatidly yelling her combat begins line (we had thrown up that infectious cloud under her) as the guards killed us.

    I had a similar situation as the Serenity Now funeral crash. So I was on Emerald Dream (any other ED players probably knows where this is going) and the guild I was a part of went to go to a funeral over in the eastern plaguelands since it was a large funeral with other alliance guilds. This was back when Emerald Dream was still an RPPvP server, so all of us went there in our respective RP gear since this was also before transmogs were a thing. So the funeral was going smoothly, we were paying our respects and mingling, when the largest horde guild on that server known as Warsong Battalion showed up and completely crashed the funeral, ganking and camping everyone there. This probably happened for either around or more then half an hour and caused the guild I was in to basically disband and go to other servers.

    I think the worst part for people who didn't enjoy being a zombie and being a dick, is that there aren't rewards for clearing out the zombies.
    If Blizzard introduced large rewarding quests for ghoul player killing, or something similar like kill 5 people as a ghoul and 5 players who are ghouls for a elite quest of exp and decent gold income - and make it repeatable.
    Maybe introduce a non flagged area where the ghouls can only attack every hour and you have to try to stand in defense, i'd almost say make it an instance pvp battleground you can have like 200 people in, 150 zombies and 50 players with some guard assistance, could do a stormwind and org instance have alliance be ghouls for org.. and reverse for the horde.
    Then people will be on board and you can bring it back every couple of months for fun pvp stuff.

    A little known exploit was Swim-Flying during TBC. You could get a mage to frost nova then sheep you in a duel, then you spam spacebar to literally swim through the air. Casters could spam while melee just used throwing weapons out of range.
    My guild used this bug to kill Doomwalker several times on the Dalaran server. He would be hit enough to not reset and we had Black Temple level gear during the opening.

    Agro Kazzak and immediately start Bubble+Hearthing. He would put a debuff on you that goes through bubble, but does not interrupt Hearthing. You hearth and end up exploding within a few seconds when the debuff ends, killing all low levels nearby.
    Only did it a couple of times as Kazzak needed to be alive.

    Personally I've always believed in PVP, that if a character is a certain amount of levels below you, if you choose to gank them and most likely one shot them. Then you shouldn't just loose honor, but a level. The more the level difference is, the greater the punishment. More honor loss, Conq points, to rating, or even more levels. Why? because there is no sport in it. your just being a dick.

    If they were questing or something, sure, like you said, bad mannered, but still to be expected.

      Agreed. You have to be a special kind of lowlife to crash a funeral like that, even if it’s taking place in a PvP zone. It’s a funeral, a virtual one but still honouring a flesh and blood human who died.
      Now admittedly I don’t play WoW so I don’t know how feasible this is but… at the same time the organisers should have known that something like this would happen and chosen to have their ceremony in a non PvP area.
      It reminds me of when I played Star Trek Online at the time Leonard Nimoy, Spock’s actor died. I felt an unusual compulsion to fly to Vulcan, the homeworld of Spock to sorta silently pay my respects. What I didn’t expect was to find Vulcan overloaded with other players who had come to do the exact same thing. Hundreds of players gathered in a certain spot and it turned into a virtual funeral of sorts.
      But of course while the majority of people were solemn and respectful as we shared our memories of Spock with each other, there were a minority who did everything they could to ruin it. No pvp fortunately but they ran around releasing party poppers and stuff like that. They were ignored, but it just goes to show there are honourless lowlifes in every community. The devs took notice of the occasion and soon put an official memorial in that spot on Vulcan.

Those world bosses, however, were scaled to *your* level, since the pre-launch was where they introduced that scaling. So here comes a level 70 Paladin swinging his stuff, and in five seconds flat kills a level 110 World Boss Demon with a Super-Crit Avenging Shield\Judgement blow.
