      I LOVED the plague event pre wrath, it was so much fun I cannot even stress how great it was, but from what I remember it wasn't lowbies trying to level who complained it was the HORDES of people sitting in the AH all day and bot farming the AH who were screaming and throwing temper tantrums like spoiled 2 year olds who were the ones complaining. 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!
    It was one of my proudest WoW moments xD

    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. Mission failed but we had fun and infected a bunch of guards.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The shit that went down with the scourge and the Dreadlord corruption are absolutely fascinating. Again, this all was intentionally programmed in and it all was tremendously successful. Overall, Not a fan of low level grief but definitely a huge fan of memorable events like the scourge invasion and the Dreadlord corruption. That shit is Rad AF. Great video, Captain Grim. Thank you.

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.

Those world bosses, however, were scaled to *your* level, since the pre-launch was where they introduced that scaling.

You could repeat this indefinitely and make an army of golems. I took 50-60+ up to Zul drak to solo Thrym and suceeded.

      Yeah i start playing wow in 2014 untill 2021 and i was shocked by how much people just don't socialize at all , like if your existence was bothering them , like wtf guys it's a MMO why are you rushing for the max level alone if you want to do RAIDS 😂😂😂

    The Scourge invasion was and still is, the best event to happen to WoW. Everyone who disagrees is a bozo.

    i still remember huddling in an abandoned house in silverpine with my friends, watching ghouls run around causing carnage just down the road. Felt like a real survival horror scenario

    Back during the original Scourge Invasion event, there was also a bug that completely healed you if you used your ranged auto attack as a ghoul. We started a raid group and invaded Northshire, max level characters showed up to defend, but because of the bug, it became very hard to kill those of us using it on account of being able to max heal constantly. I'm not sure it even registered as a heal, but either way, it was a full 100% reset to HP

    In regards to serenity now. I still say, i cannot think of a better send off in wow. Honestly, I'd be damn touched. Truly. The most WoW of sendoffs
