So anyway, I'm at the dock in Booty Bay waiting for the boat to Ratchet. My rogue is about level 46 and Alliance, so I regularly get ganked upon arrival, but
that's not what this story is about. I've just gotten a delivery quest with a timer on it, so I'm kind of in a hurry.
Waiting for the boat...waiting for the boat...waiting for the boat. Much higher level priest shows up, does a little /wave and a /dance, and I join in. He
walks off and the boat arrives a little while later. I get on, duck into the cabin to hopefully avoid any gank-inclined 70s, and switch windows to browse the
internet to pass the time of the trip.
I tune back in a moment later, just in time to see that the priest has found me, slapped Mind Control on, and made my toon jump off the boat a second before
we reach the load screen. Long swim.
The whole process was far too hilarious for me to be angry at him, but I think it's just one more example of why Blizzard needs to start putting NPC guards
on the boats.
At the moment the Horde on my server treat Booty Bay like their territory, committing gank-and-run with impunity, and the number of times
I've been completely unable to catch the Ratchet boat because of a level 70 camping on the pier I can't really count. This area is meant to be neutral
territory. A ceasefire is in effect! Were I an Alliance diplomat traveling through Stranglethorn with any regularity, war would have erupted several patches
ago regardless of Thrall's pacifism.
Has anyone else here invented or witnessed methods of annoying players that are more interesting than corpse camping? We should make a list.
Lol. Yeah, I use to Mind Control them off the boat. Great fun
But then again, I wouldn't do it to lobbies. Its just not fun terrorising level 30's.
My Druid is about to hit the STV stage of leveling. So im getting prepared for evenings of corpse-camping and ganking. I went and bought my stress ball
already.
Unfortunately, Blizzard gave us a choice. There are PvE servers. We just choose not to use them!
