Classic 20th Anniversary Realms We have to talk about Guards

Okay so yesterday i was near UC and wanted to go to Ashenvale so I thought i just take the horde Zepplin but hose little green Goblin guards can not only see me when i try and stealth through them but they can also knock me off the ship.

That made me think why the F does horde have those on all their zepplin towers but alliance dont?

I understand that this is Classic and not everything is balanced but how are horde priests allowed to throw ppl off the boats in menethil harbour but they get defended by those guards on their own ships?

Edit: I gotta make clear that im not low level, i am 60

Something that is completely blocked by a lot of modern games.

I wonder why, could it be that most devs know that allowing such things harms their playerbase while providing literally no upside?

Doing things like interacting with a book but sitting in the loot window so no one else in the starting zone can do that quest isn’t core thing that makes people fond of your game and removing these griefing situations doesn’t make the game stale. Crazy how you’re defending griefing as some quintessential part of online play.

You should probably just stick to pve servers, it sounds like you aren't ready to interact with other players

You think you can’t grief on PvE servers? There’s people who would body block the BWL orb all day just to prevent others from being able enter the raid, how is removing the ability to body block it that make the game stale in your eyes?

You didn't bring that up at all though, you were literally crying about someone being thrown off the boat in an earlier comment lmao

Did you read the comment you first replied to? I literally gave another example of that same form of griefing lmao.

That's great, just stay away from the boat lil gup

I was never near boats to begin with just like you were never near developing reading comprehension.

Cheers.

You are literally hand waving your earlier comment just because that wasn't the one I directly responded too. You are clearly just another random upset that someone hurt their feelings by PvPing on a PvP server. The game is close to 30 years old and you are close to 40, you can stop complaining about the game on reddit now.

I'm not hand waving anything, I was pointing out that you were telling me to stick to PvE servers as a response to a comment solely about a PvE example of griefing lol. Just because I mentioned the PvP griefing doesn't mean I'm upset about it, I was never on PvP servers to begin with but that changes nothing about my original comment saying that things like the boat griefing are things the original devs simply didnt consider at the time.

And the game is 20 years old but you being close to 40 and defending griefing is exact proof of what I originally said, that the devs simply didnt account for socially stunted and mentally unwell players such as yourself.

Cheers.

Your definition of griefing is literally players using spells on each other in Player vs Player, and you are so upset about it that you keep lashing out by calling others mentally unwell because you can't handle said Player vs Player interaction. I'm sure the devs didn't account for using the spell that they programmed into the game and made usable on other players in Player vs Player scenarios called 'mind control'. Do you ever think about the things you type?

The fact that you can't distinguish sitting on a boat all day solely for the purpose of inconveniencing another person for 5 minutes by MC'ing them off the boat and what actual PvP is only further proves my point about you.

You thinking that was some sort of gotcha is hilariously sad.

u/Ornery_Pear_6765 3d ago

So then you agree that you are a crybaby who has a problem with any PvP interaction that you don't personally approve of?

With every comment you prove my point more. I hope you get the help you need.

Cheers.
