And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Are you telling me it's not valid because I never follow those words ._.?

Last week I had capped Valor, Conquest, done every daily every day, killed all the LFR bosses, Sha, and Galleon.
Still managed to have some time to finish Xcom and Dishonored. =3

Just as hysterical and ADHD as every day; but the Galleon spawn place is quite empty. Mostly because people know it won't spawn until (at least) after the maintenance.

Maybe. :x
They really should. WG is pretty well dead and done on my server, and TB fired up a bit before Mists hit, though I'm sure people don't bother with it now.
Good to see they're thinking about doing that at least.
The problem is, no one would do a "world pvp" zone... look at Silithus and EPL (Though those were horribly implemented).
I think the big problem is that people on PvE servers would HATE that type of zone and then feel "somewhat forced" to PvP. Hell, I've seen a LOT of people bitching on the General Forums because on Sha or Galleon someone from the opposite faction flags and hits them causing them to PvP and getting ganked, lol.

Is it against ToS to screw around with the other faction's world boss attempt?
I heard it on chat, but never seen anything about it.

Why would it be against the ToS?

I wonder what happens when the first set of groups wintrade their way to 4000 on the back of the brand new team inflation.

A bunch of servers are down but not Illidan. I think this may be the first time that I'm mad my server didn't go down.

A lot of people saying it is. I haven't bothered to look it up.
Depends how, if it's something that causes it to evade bug or lose their tag or something, then yes.
If you're just attacking them because they're flagged then NBD.

How about flagging PVP in a PVE server and making the other faction flag PVP then killing them.
Acceptable.
Robin: If I flag for PvP, and you do a targetted attack (mostly by accident) then you're now flagged so I can start ganking you. Then a healer may heal you - now they're flagged. Then it just kind of spreads.

I'm so confused... I had to do stuff for an hour. Was Mal'Ganis down? If not, in how many hours is the maintenance? This is so confusing...

Yeah, I get that. People just need to be careful about their targetting if others are around. It is, after all, one of the most basic mechanics of the entire game.
I assumed someone had found a way to FORCE people to be PvP, but no, this? This is fine.

Going to work on my Steam backlog, but I just bought Amnesia and Walking Dead as well, so enough to do

This is really easy to do during Sha of Anger due to the MC mechanic.

eh, not sure about that one, tricking people to get tagged might be considered against the tos on pve servers, but don't think anyone would enforce it if you report them

It's pretty cool. I haven't played around with it much, but the potential here is huge.
The objectives you can capture all offer a different buff to your faction. For example, owning the oil rig gives everyone 75% faster mount casting. Owning a tower gives everyone 10% more damage, healing and crit chance.
Also, any enemy NPCs or players you kill drop Commendations. You can use these to buy stuff to bolster your faction's hold over the zone. For example, for only 40 tokens (a weak NPC dropped 4, so not hard to get), I was able to hire a pack of NPC guards to protect one of the objectives I had captured.

I think prioritizing items closest to BiS that are feasibly attainable is better use of VP. For example, I bought the Klaxxi Belt for a mage because besides all of the raids, only two belts were better, and that was from Terrace of Endless Springs, and a late boss in Heart of Fear. So it was 3rd BiS for me, so I bought it. If I bought a helm/chest, it'd be close to 8th BiS, when I could easily find one from LFR or a raid. That's how I approach it at least, if you're just going to do LFR and not actually raid though, then spend the points however you like.

If you're really, really desperate - you could farm one of those rep-keys :3
Screw you Golden Lotus for forcing me to do another daily for 3 fucking points.

I have first-hand experience trying to farm a guo-lai key.
It is not worth it. In the time I spent farming for the key I could have farmed up several thousand gold worth of fish/meat/herbs instead.

Aren't you the same guy who got like 9 Skyshards the first two weeks or something?!

I wish! I'd trade all the guo-lai keys for skyshards.
Back in the day there used to be a special anti griefing rule in place for engaging groups doing legitimate attempts to take down Doom Lord Kazzak and the other world bosses. At least in the EU region. GMs would intervene in such cases with suspensions. No idea if this still applies in some fashion, but I reckon the chats you talk about stem from this old rule.

Oh yeah, I found the blue post. I guess it really only applies to tagging and despawning griefing.

Yeah we had the same problem with him all night. It virtually impossible to predict what direction the aoe will be. Even though you can see where he is, there have been tries where I stood directly behind the targeted player, in relation to ta'yak, and then the aoe is in a totaly different angle. Hope they change it.
You wont get banned for this, it's perfectly acceptable.
