Because the event actually required people to work together. Overall, I had a great time and it was a nice break from leveling my lock.
It really didn't even require that ICO.
I spent most of the week wasting mana shooting retarded muppet babies in the face with fireballs.
The question is WHY!!!!! It was stupid and pointless. Did the retarded muppet babies drop anything? NO Did they give me honor? NO Did they do anything except waste my damn time? NO they didn't.
I rather didn't enjoy 1 shotting zombies all week long just to try and wade my way to a bank vault through mounds of skeletons and dead bodies. Was quite ridiculous.
You were inconvenienced for what a week and your this upset? For once the game had something groups of players could work towards on a faction scale. I don't know what server you played on, but that's exactly what we did on Azgalor and most of the people I played with had a great time.
Having an event once in a blue moon that encompasses what an MMO should be is a good thing.
I play on Archimonde, which is a pvp server, which is one of the oldest, which for the most part is all business.
If your not killing a player or doing a raid then your wasting time.
Know what we did for a week solid? Stayed the hell out of every major city.
Every once in a while chancing it to try and make it to a bank. Other than that the cities were ghost town. We maybe had a bored 70 hunter or mage or lock go in town once a night and solo all the retarded muppet babies shooting each other with snot wads so a few people could reach a bank but that's about it.
I don't care if Blizzard had the event for whatever reason, I don't even care if people enjoyed it. If you did that's great. All I am saying is for those of us who have better things to do with our time in game, we should have been allowed to "Turn the porch light off" as pappy suggested.
Would have been great to be able to flag myself as "No Zombie plague needed here ktks bye"
But I could not. So I was basically forced to shoot zombies in the face to get anything done. They held up progress which for some people is a big deal.
I respect your opinion to like the event and have a good time doing it. You should also respect mine to think it was ridiculous and stopped many of us from accomplishing anything for a week straight.
Double Reality Check: (white text for the person who doesn't know anything) Did the retarded muppet babies drop anything? NO Do lvl 70 drops mean anything one week before Wotlk ? No If I go out and kill 200 level 70 Mobs I get paid in the form of gold. If I have to kill 200 retarded kids to get to the bank at a minimum some gold would have been nice. NO Did they give me honor? NO Does honor give you anything of value right now ? No No but honor isn't getting wiped so it carries over into Wrath, meaning if I spent a week grinding out some honor I should have enough to get a piece or two or three of pvp gear before LK even drops putting me above the curve of muppet babies spamming snot wads when I reach lv 80. Did they do anything except waste my damn time? NO they didn't. Does WoW offer anythink besides a chance to waste your damn time in a hopefully fun way? NO. Thing is we all play for different reason, I choose which is the key word here, to have fun in wow doing what I want to do, not what I am forced to do. What you found to be fun I found to be stupid.
Its a frickin game -if you cant enjoy the content forget about it, anything you archieve here wont last long and wont benefit you in any other way either ! You are wrong, and as far as the content is concerned, I do enjoy the content, just the content I choose to participate in. It is what makes wow fun for me. I am also sure I am not the only person out of 11 million who feel this way which is why so many complained about the event. You go be a zombie I have better things to do with my off time.

A few posts above you challenge people to post their characters to prove they were mighty enough to beat the Sunwell prior to the patch. So you're telling me that your guild was able to push through these instances, but not to the bank on a regular basis? That doesn't make much sense.
Even the few time we had zombies 'raiding' the banks and vendors in Shat we were able to quickly dispose of them. Most of the time I was able to either simply walk around them, slow fokkers that they were. I never had any issues with finding a bank in either Shat or Stormwind.
Again though, it was simply a week and nothing so earth-shattering to cause such hate and discontent. I suppose I can respect that you didn't find the event tollerable, but I think you can admit folks are going a bit over board in their reactions.
Ico Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.

Granted I will give you that, and typing text is a poor indicator of emotion, I may sound super pissed, when in reality it's over now so I really don't care anymore, it was just a very annoying situation.
LOL In ref. to my guild not able to handle zombie, my guild doesn't come together to fight zombies. The zombies were hardly a match for my mage, shaman, paladin or hunter. Yes they were easily killed, my only thing was WHY did I HAVE to kill them to get in my damn bank. Once there WHY was I constantly having to stop looking at my bank to turn around and shoot some little kid throwing a snot ball at me. It was annoying it seriously was.
I for one didn't complain on the official forums or in game, I just found it annoying is all. The topic asked why everyone was complaining, so I thought it best to share why it annoyed me and about 80% of my server.
Some people liked it, and that's ok, I am glad Blizzard made an event they could all feel good about.
I for 1 just was not one of those people, I thought it was very poorly implemented and a complete waste of time.

Wow, just wow.
I was annoyed by this event too, but only because i couldn't do a damn thing about it due to being too low level, and here you come, with a guild that, presumably, could down Kil'jaeden and whine that you couldn't be bothered to assemble your guild to push back the zombies...
I'm beginning to understand where people get their attitude towards WoW players from.
It was a rarity in games these days, a real honest-to-goodness World Event and an excellent lead-in to the new expansion. I enjoyed it and I hope they have more up their sleeves before next week. I have no words and even less respect for anyone who brags about how they could have easily crushed the Scourge infected, but sat around stroking their epeen instead of helping. And people wonder why so many of us play solo.

I highly doubt the other two are in a #1 ranked guild for their server.

I'm not going to explain in great detail why it was ironic that you posted your character info, but suffice it to say you missed the point.

omgwtfbbq pwned!
All kidding aside, isn't this basically a retread of the event they had before BC? All in all, it was fun at times and annoying at times. Blizzard provided an opt-out in the form of Argent Healers. Sure, toward the end of the event they disappeared, but this really only boiled down to a couple days of inconvenience.
While I managed to avoid getting turned into a zombie for most of the event, it was a nice change of pace to run into them attacking Grom'gol or some similar outpost. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

No I did not miss the point, just because someone can be in a guild and accomplish something in wow doesn't make them a omgbbqftw kiddie. You also seemed to imply that because I called out those two, that I somehow was scared to throw my guild and characters out there. I know what I have accomplished and it wasn't easy mode. Which was the point to posting it in the first place because they said that wow was easy. Maybe it is in 3.0 but it wasn't before this time. If you looked up that Link I showed you, only 6 guilds out of hundreds were disciplined enough to down all bosses... out of hundreds on the server. This accomplishment isn't easy mode.
Anyway, I don't care either way, I posted them to show I have done it. I don't just spout out random BS. wether you took it as omgbbq shit or not isn't really the point.
The point was to show you some players and some guilds like to do things in wow other than run around like a smack tard throwing green goo. It isn't why we play wow. We play wow for the progression and challenge of moving foward. To guilds such as mine all that annoying event did was slow down gameplay. Which is annoying. It wasn't cute funny or cool. Just annoying.
The topic which is why we are all here is because someone asked "Why everyone complained." and I told you why.
You don't have to like it, that is just the way it is. Some people play the game to take 6 years to reach 70, some play it to do every quest in the game, some play it for community (hahahha) and other who even cares why. We all play for different reason, the event only catered to the those that play for story and community crowd. Which WoW doesn't really have a good community, so who the hell wants to play an event with them.
Which brings us back to why we solo, cause wow's community sucks ass.
Originally posted by skydragonren just because someone can be in a guild and accomplish something in wow doesn't make them a omgbbqftw kiddie.
No, but flailing your guild/gear around like a damned mace does. Nobody cares what you have accomplished, both because it's not that difficult and also because it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
I was one of those not so happy with this event, though I didn't voice my concern with it as I figured (like some here already have said) that it'll be over in a week and life will go on.
Look this event did one very very bad thing - it gave tools to griefers to grief more and more people. The important NPC's (quest givers, trainers, bankers, flight persons) should have been immune to the zombie plague. No other change really needed. With the NPCs vulnerable, people set up specifically to ruin other players days by removing their ability to interact with said NPCs.
I could have seen this work better if they implemented some protections, or maybe a raid quest to find a cure which would make the NPCs (and raid members) invulnerable to this plague? But as it stood there was no point in fighting the zombies or in becoming one, nor was there any unified quest to find a way to stop the zombies. You either fought the zombies, became a zombie, tooled around elsewhere, or just logged out.
The thing is, as a player you had no real influence over the zombie infestation. At best if you were high level you could go slay zombies to try and curb the flood, but they'd just come back in a little while. You didn't have any options to pick flowers for the cure, or kill these mobs to help provide supplies for the healers, or take messages to remote sections of the world to spread the news. They could have done sooo much more, but instead they stopped and made the whole event something to inconvience you, instead of something that you could help to influence.

I didn't flail anything, I just proved I wasn't scared to show you I did it. Have you done it? I would wager to say not.
Yet you'll make a dumbass comment like this ""Because it's not that difficult". When you know your full of shit. Hell they made the damn bosses super easy now and still only 6 guilds have done it on archimonde. Yep so so easy and not difficult at all, go back to kara and shut up.
I did address the topic at hand in almost every post I have made.
Bottom line in my opinion the event was stupid, meaningless, and catered to short bus riders.
You take that however you want. Like it or not wow isn't a community friendly game, never really has been. 5000 people on my server and I wish I didn't have to play with 4800 of them. If they all vanished tomorrow it wouldn't be soon enough.
BUT
I am stuck there with them so I have to make the best of it. The event though we could have done without.
You just pissed cause you don't like the opinion of others. You don't see me jumping all over these people because they liked it. Nope, I told them great good for you, glad you enjoyed it. That doesn't mean I like it, that doesn't mean all 11 million other wow players should have liked it either.
You wanna be a zombie be a zombie, good for you. I just said the rest of us have better shit to do that all.
I appreciate Blizzard trying to do something a little different and fun. But come on ....... people were doing nothing but plain griefing with this zombie crap. Players would chain kill auctioneers and flight paths. Yeah thats alot of fun ........... . It definately wasn't fun for the people who don't spend much time playing each day ...and for those few days they ended up doing corpse runs. It was a GREAT idea that was POORLY done. Certain NPC's should have been off limits for one thing.
If some people enjoyed it ...great. I find that most of the people who liked it were the same people who were also griefing. I cant count how many times I died porting into a city on my mage but it was nothing more than annoying. I made as littletrips to town those 3 days as humanly possible. Unless I was on my paladin in which It didnt really matter since I could cleanse myself.
All that being said, I hope Blizzard does more things like that. But FFS institute it CORRECTLY!

And this right here is QFT.
This is all I was saying as well.
Honestly I wouldn't have gave a crap in the least had entire cities not been made useless. If I had been allowed to walk up to a bank or trainer or battlemaster and carry on business as usual, occassionally melting the face off some kid zombie trying to get me infected so be it. Wouldn't have minded at all. Instead I was forced to sit around for a week and do nothing but waste time.
If they had done a few of the things the above poster suggest like making all NPC's immune, GREAT! I'm all for it. Or let me go do a quest to make myself some 24 hour immunity potions, or anything really to keep me from having to stop playing so people could throw slime.
It wouldn't have been so bad, but the event as stated was very poorly implemented, maybe now that enough people have bitched about it, they won't do it this way again.
You either fought the zombies, became a zombie, tooled around elsewhere, or just logged out.
I guess this is why I really didn't understand the whole reason why people were so upset. I just quested like I normally do and I really wasn't all that effected by it. Only the NPC's in large populated areas like Stormwind, Ironforge, Shatt etc were a problem, so I avoided those areas. Once you headed out to the other zones, you didn't even know there was an event going on. If you spent most of your time in Stormwind, Ironforge, Shatt etc, then exactly what else do you have to do anyway? And it's not like the AH or the trainers or whatnot were NEVER available even in Stormwind, Ironforge and Shatt. I used them. Sure there were a couple times when I was looking at the AH for something and the guy died and I had to wait till he respawned, but it was like 2 minutes and he was back. Really, people were all up in arms over pretty much being inconvenienced for a couple minutes. Sorry, but those people needed to lighten up and have a little fun with it. But maybe that's just me. I don't let griefers spoil my day ever. There are a lot of people that can't seem to handle even the slightest bit of annoyance. Maybe it's just because I've leveled 7 toons to 70 on a PvP server. I'm used to being ganked so being zombified wasn't really a big deal to me.
I didn't have any problems with the zombies, like the others said I quested as normal, if I was plague I would go cure myself or if I became a zombie I would just explode myself and respawn back to normal, very simple.
Some of you loved this event. That's ok. But when others don't, they are cry babies, whining little kids, etc. Which shows a complete lack of respect both for other points of views, and other players' playstyles (what they enjoy, and not). It sounds like you're saying that if you didn't like it, you're not a mature player. For me, the immature ganking shows a different reality.
Some of you are also forgetting that WoW is a game intended for kids too. Not just teens/adults. If it's so freakin' annoying to play a game kids play too, then I'd say it's best for all parts that you simply move on. WoW is not for you, obviously, and WoW doesn't need you.
@ imbant (post #11):
You're in no position to judge anyone or anything, when you don't even play the game. Hearing about this event is not the same as experiencing it. Pretty stupid to attack "carebears" for their opinions when you really have no clue what this was about.
The Scourge, an army of undead that plagued the world and has caused untold suffering and torment to the many races of the game, not least the Blood Elves. So they spread terror, destruction. plague and famine, make dangerous places that were once safe. And in the midst of this invasion, brave heroes such as yourself let out a cry: "ERM... HELLO... YES... HELLO THERE... EXCUSE ME! WOULD YOU KINDLY STOP INVADING AND KILLING EVERYONE PLEASE? I'M TRYING TO USE THE AUCTION HOUSE!" You don't like this event because cities being brought to their knees and players being turned into plague-spreading zombies "annoys" you? You need to get your head checked. I can almost here Comic Book Guy saying "Worst. Undead. Invasion. Ever." You people don't know what you want in a game.
This.
Especially the last line.
Why are you people even playing MMOs if not for events like this?
#1 your both prolly full of shit, post your character and guild so I can see you both downing sunwell before the 3.0 patch then we will talk. Yeah it's easy mode now but I highly doubt either of you did it before the nerf of 30% hp reduction to bosses. Very few and I mean very few guilds can do this. Easy mode my ass... 5% of WoW has downed KJ before the patch, you two don't seem like 5% to me since you loved the zombies so much. Example 3 guilds on the entire server I play on completed that run. That's right 3 out of about 1000. Not easy mode.
Cracks me up every time I see someone say "Oh I quite WoW cause it's to easy." Your full of shit and you know it.
Anyway I didn't say the event was horrible, I said the event shouldn't be a forced particapate. Many people have no interest in running around trying to zombify others, that is something a child does to get kicks.
Noone MAKES you go kill the HH for a mount, it's a choice. Noone makes you put out the fire or kill 50 players on GNERDS. You have a choice.
Not being able to do anything in a major city for a week but attempt to avoid lil kids in zombie mode is ridiculous and pointless.
Very few people actually give 2 shits about the scourge, or "Bringing cities to their knees". If I want shit like that I will read a book. I play the game to raid and kill players. Both of which are hard when you can't pvp cause battlemasters are dead, and you can't raid cause you can't buy supplies or get in your bank.
Enough said.
lolz do you take some kind of Eextenze? because your Epeen is massive!
way to prove my point about you trying to use your easymode accomplishments as proof of something that we arent even talking about.
Im just glad im not you....and not my avatar in some game I even played...me the rl man.
And lol at the rest of your points in this thread im not even going to bother with...you obviously are a little defensive.
Comments
It really didn't even require that ICO.
I spent most of the week wasting mana shooting retarded muppet babies in the face with fireballs.
The question is WHY!!!!! It was stupid and pointless. Did the retarded muppet babies drop anything? NO Did they give me honor? NO Did they do anything except waste my damn time? NO they didn't.
I rather didn't enjoy 1 shotting zombies all week long just to try and wade my way to a bank vault through mounds of skeletons and dead bodies. Was quite ridiculous.
You were inconvenienced for what a week and your this upset? For once the game had something groups of players could work towards on a faction scale. I don't know what server you played on, but that's exactly what we did on Azgalor and most of the people I played with had a great time.
Having an event once in a blue moon that encompasses what an MMO should be is a good thing.
I play on Archimonde, which is a pvp server, which is one of the oldest, which for the most part is all business.
If your not killing a player or doing a raid then your wasting time.
Know what we did for a week solid? Stayed the hell out of every major city.
Every once in a while chancing it to try and make it to a bank. Other than that the cities were ghost town. We maybe had a bored 70 hunter or mage or lock go in town once a night and solo all the retarded muppet babies shooting each other with snot wads so a few people could reach a bank but that's about it.
I don't care if Blizzard had the event for whatever reason, I don't even care if people enjoyed it. If you did that's great. All I am saying is for those of us who have better things to do with our time in game, we should have been allowed to "Turn the porch light off" as pappy suggested.
Would have been great to be able to flag myself as "No Zombie plague needed here ktks bye"
But I could not. So I was basically forced to shoot zombies in the face to get anything done. They held up progress which for some people is a big deal.
I respect your opinion to like the event and have a good time doing it. You should also respect mine to think it was ridiculous and stopped many of us from accomplishing anything for a week straight.
A few posts above you challenge people to post their characters to prove they were mighty enough to beat the Sunwell prior to the patch. So you're telling me that your guild was able to push through these instances, but not to the bank on a regular basis? That doesn't make much sense.
Even the few time we had zombies 'raiding' the banks and vendors in Shat we were able to quickly dispose of them. Most of the time I was able to either simply walk around them, slow fokkers that they were. I never had any issues with finding a bank in either Shat or Stormwind.
Again though, it was simply a week and nothing so earth-shattering to cause such hate and discontent. I suppose I can respect that you didn't find the event tollerable, but I think you can admit folks are going a bit over board in their reactions.

Granted I will give you that, and typing text is a poor indicator of emotion, I may sound super pissed, when in reality it's over now so I really don't care anymore, it was just a very annoying situation.
LOL In ref. to my guild not able to handle zombie, my guild doesn't come together to fight zombies. The zombies were hardly a match for my mage, shaman, paladin or hunter. Yes they were easily killed, my only thing was WHY did I HAVE to kill them to get in my damn bank. Once there WHY was I constantly having to stop looking at my bank to turn around and shoot some little kid throwing a snot ball at me. It was annoying it seriously was.
I for one didn't complain on the official forums or in game, I just found it annoying is all. The topic asked why everyone was complaining, so I thought it best to share why it annoyed me and about 80% of my server.
Some people liked it, and that's ok, I am glad Blizzard made an event they could all feel good about.
I for 1 just was not one of those people, I thought it was very poorly implemented and a complete waste of time.

Wow, just wow.
I was annoyed by this event too, but only because i couldn't do a damn thing about it due to being too low level, and here you come, with a guild that, presumably, could down Kil'jaeden and whine that you couldn't be bothered to assemble your guild to push back the zombies...
I'm beginning to understand where people get their attitude towards WoW players from.
It was a rarity in games these days, a real honest-to-goodness World Event and an excellent lead-in to the new expansion. I enjoyed it and I hope they have more up their sleeves before next week. I have no words and even less respect for anyone who brags about how they could have easily crushed the Scourge infected, but sat around stroking their epeen instead of helping. And people wonder why so many of us play solo.

We play solo so we don't have to listen to omgwtfbbq pwned from kids in a group. That is why we solo.
There was 100% absolutlely nothing challenging about the zombies, zero, natta.
It was a super annoying week full of super annoying people, as per usual in wow.

Just do a search for the mage which is Emuchan, I really don't want to post out a list of characters. Really isn't worth it to me. But there is the guild and character I am assuming you wanted me to post.
I highly doubt the other two are in a #1 ranked guild for their server.

I'm not going to explain in great detail why it was ironic that you posted your character info, but suffice it to say you missed the point.

omgwtfbbq pwned!
All kidding aside, isn't this basically a retread of the event they had before BC? All in all, it was fun at times and annoying at times. Blizzard provided an opt-out in the form of Argent Healers. Sure, toward the end of the event they disappeared, but this really only boiled down to a couple days of inconvenience.
While I managed to avoid getting turned into a zombie for most of the event, it was a nice change of pace to run into them attacking Grom'gol or some similar outpost. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

No I did not miss the point, just because someone can be in a guild and accomplish something in wow doesn't make them a omgbbqftw kiddie. You also seemed to imply that because I called out those two, that I somehow was scared to throw my guild and characters out there. I know what I have accomplished and it wasn't easy mode. Which was the point to posting it in the first place because they said that wow was easy. Maybe it is in 3.0 but it wasn't before this time. If you looked up that Link I showed you, only 6 guilds out of hundreds were disciplined enough to down all bosses... out of hundreds on the server. This accomplishment isn't easy mode.
Anyway, I don't care either way, I posted them to show I have done it. I don't just spout out random BS. wether you took it as omgbbq shit or not isn't really the point.
The point was to show you some players and some guilds like to do things in wow other than run around like a smack tard throwing green goo. It isn't why we play wow. We play wow for the progression and challenge of moving foward. To guilds such as mine all that annoying event did was slow down gameplay. Which is annoying. It wasn't cute funny or cool. Just annoying.
The topic which is why we are all here is because someone asked "Why everyone complained." and I told you why.
You don't have to like it, that is just the way it is. Some people play the game to take 6 years to reach 70, some play it to do every quest in the game, some play it for community (hahahha) and other who even cares why. We all play for different reason, the event only catered to the those that play for story and community crowd. Which WoW doesn't really have a good community, so who the hell wants to play an event with them.
Which brings us back to why we solo, cause wow's community sucks ass.
No, but flailing your guild/gear around like a damned mace does. Nobody cares what you have accomplished, both because it's not that difficult and also because it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
I was one of those not so happy with this event, though I didn't voice my concern with it as I figured (like some here already have said) that it'll be over in a week and life will go on.
Look this event did one very very bad thing - it gave tools to griefers to grief more and more people. The important NPC's (quest givers, trainers, bankers, flight persons) should have been immune to the zombie plague. No other change really needed. With the NPCs vulnerable, people set up specifically to ruin other players days by removing their ability to interact with said NPCs.
I could have seen this work better if they implemented some protections, or maybe a raid quest to find a cure which would make the NPCs (and raid members) invulnerable to this plague? But as it stood there was no point in fighting the zombies or in becoming one, nor was there any unified quest to find a way to stop the zombies. You either fought the zombies, became a zombie, tooled around elsewhere, or just logged out.
The thing is, as a player you had no real influence over the zombie infestation. At best if you were high level you could go slay zombies to try and curb the flood, but they'd just come back in a little while. You didn't have any options to pick flowers for the cure, or kill these mobs to help provide supplies for the healers, or take messages to remote sections of the world to spread the news. They could have done sooo much more, but instead they stopped and made the whole event something to inconvience you, instead of something that you could help to influence.
No, but flailing your guild/gear around like a damned mace does. Nobody cares what you have accomplished, both because it's not that difficult and also because it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
I didn't flail anything, I just proved I wasn't scared to show you I did it. Have you done it? I would wager to say not.
Yet you'll make a dumbass comment like this ""Because it's not that difficult". When you know your full of shit. Hell they made the damn bosses super easy now and still only 6 guilds have done it on archimonde. Yep so so easy and not difficult at all, go back to kara and shut up.
I did address the topic at hand in almost every post I have made.
Bottom line in my opinion the event was stupid, meaningless, and catered to short bus riders.
You take that however you want. Like it or not wow isn't a community friendly game, never really has been. 5000 people on my server and I wish I didn't have to play with 4800 of them. If they all vanished tomorrow it wouldn't be soon enough.
BUT
I am stuck there with them so I have to make the best of it. The event though we could have done without.
You just pissed cause you don't like the opinion of others. You don't see me jumping all over these people because they liked it. Nope, I told them great good for you, glad you enjoyed it. That doesn't mean I like it, that doesn't mean all 11 million other wow players should have liked it either.
You wanna be a zombie be a zombie, good for you. I just said the rest of us have better shit to do that all.
If you don't like it, who cares.
I appreciate Blizzard trying to do something a little different and fun. But come on ....... people were doing nothing but plain griefing with this zombie crap. Players would chain kill auctioneers and flight paths. Yeah thats alot of fun ........... . It definately wasn't fun for the people who don't spend much time playing each day ...and for those few days they ended up doing corpse runs. It was a GREAT idea that was POORLY done. Certain NPC's should have been off limits for one thing.
If some people enjoyed it ...great. I find that most of the people who liked it were the same people who were also griefing. I cant count how many times I died porting into a city on my mage but it was nothing more than annoying. I made as littletrips to town those 3 days as humanly possible. Unless I was on my paladin in which It didnt really matter since I could cleanse myself.
All that being said, I hope Blizzard does more things like that. But FFS institute it CORRECTLY!
And this right here is QFT.
This is all I was saying as well.
Honestly I wouldn't have gave a crap in the least had entire cities not been made useless. If I had been allowed to walk up to a bank or trainer or battlemaster and carry on business as usual, occassionally melting the face off some kid zombie trying to get me infected so be it. Wouldn't have minded at all. Instead I was forced to sit around for a week and do nothing but waste time.
If they had done a few of the things the above poster suggest like making all NPC's immune, GREAT! I'm all for it. Or let me go do a quest to make myself some 24 hour immunity potions, or anything really to keep me from having to stop playing so people could throw slime.
It wouldn't have been so bad, but the event as stated was very poorly implemented, maybe now that enough people have bitched about it, they won't do it this way again.
I guess this is why I really didn't understand the whole reason why people were so upset. I just quested like I normally do and I really wasn't all that effected by it. Only the NPC's in large populated areas like Stormwind, Ironforge, Shatt etc were a problem, so I avoided those areas. Once you headed out to the other zones, you didn't even know there was an event going on. If you spent most of your time in Stormwind, Ironforge, Shatt etc, then exactly what else do you have to do anyway? And it's not like the AH or the trainers or whatnot were NEVER available even in Stormwind, Ironforge and Shatt. I used them. Sure there were a couple times when I was looking at the AH for something and the guy died and I had to wait till he respawned, but it was like 2 minutes and he was back. Really, people were all up in arms over pretty much being inconvenienced for a couple minutes. Sorry, but those people needed to lighten up and have a little fun with it. But maybe that's just me. I don't let griefers spoil my day ever. There are a lot of people that can't seem to handle even the slightest bit of annoyance. Maybe it's just because I've leveled 7 toons to 70 on a PvP server. I'm used to being ganked so being zombified wasn't really a big deal to me.
Because complaining makes them feel big.
I didn't have any problems with the zombies, like the others said I quested as normal, if I was plague I would go cure myself or if I became a zombie I would just explode myself and respawn back to normal, very simple.
Hey sky get your guild together and take on Team Pandemic. Then you can actually brag about "accomplishments". rofl
I just can't help, but laugh.
Sad but true x.x...
I liked good old WoW where it was still a good game *cough* Pre BC before the PvP Content Patch..

Some of you loved this event. That's ok. But when others don't, they are cry babies, whining little kids, etc. Which shows a complete lack of respect both for other points of views, and other players' playstyles (what they enjoy, and not). It sounds like you're saying that if you didn't like it, you're not a mature player. For me, the immature ganking shows a different reality.
Some of you are also forgetting that WoW is a game intended for kids too. Not just teens/adults. If it's so freakin' annoying to play a game kids play too, then I'd say it's best for all parts that you simply move on. WoW is not for you, obviously, and WoW doesn't need you.
@ imbant (post #11):
You're in no position to judge anyone or anything, when you don't even play the game. Hearing about this event is not the same as experiencing it. Pretty stupid to attack "carebears" for their opinions when you really have no clue what this was about.
This.
Especially the last line.
Why are you people even playing MMOs if not for events like this?
#1 your both prolly full of shit, post your character and guild so I can see you both downing sunwell before the 3.0 patch then we will talk. Yeah it's easy mode now but I highly doubt either of you did it before the nerf of 30% hp reduction to bosses. Very few and I mean very few guilds can do this. Easy mode my ass... 5% of WoW has downed KJ before the patch, you two don't seem like 5% to me since you loved the zombies so much. Example 3 guilds on the entire server I play on completed that run. That's right 3 out of about 1000. Not easy mode.
Cracks me up every time I see someone say "Oh I quite WoW cause it's to easy." Your full of shit and you know it.
Anyway I didn't say the event was horrible, I said the event shouldn't be a forced particapate. Many people have no interest in running around trying to zombify others, that is something a child does to get kicks.
Noone MAKES you go kill the HH for a mount, it's a choice. Noone makes you put out the fire or kill 50 players on GNERDS. You have a choice.
Not being able to do anything in a major city for a week but attempt to avoid lil kids in zombie mode is ridiculous and pointless.
Very few people actually give 2 shits about the scourge, or "Bringing cities to their knees". If I want shit like that I will read a book. I play the game to raid and kill players. Both of which are hard when you can't pvp cause battlemasters are dead, and you can't raid cause you can't buy supplies or get in your bank.
Enough said.
lolz do you take some kind of Eextenze? because your Epeen is massive!
way to prove my point about you trying to use your easymode accomplishments as proof of something that we arent even talking about.
Im just glad im not you....and not my avatar in some game I even played...me the rl man.
And lol at the rest of your points in this thread im not even going to bother with...you obviously are a little defensive.
