Idk, I had mixed experiences on argent dawn, when I played there as a new player. There are some amazing people there, and they are so organized etc, but in the end, they want you to always play with them in my experience, and some individuals seem really odd, but most, that I have seen, are really cool, but I mean, in the end I wanted to play the action-side of the game and transfered off. I can definitely imagine there happening, what you said tbh. I also think people in wow look down on rpers, but I think itâs a very good community, and I have lots of respect of them in general for having such a bright fantasy. Especially dwarf rpers are very nice

You can hide your online status in battlenet from those pesky stalkers by the way, invisible I think itâs called in the status menu. I never had issues with this feature, quite the contrary, folks added me after I crafted stuff for them so they could gear their alts too. Also if you get ganked in the open world just turn war mode off in a rest area, tho I seriously doubt folks would still do this unless you give them a reason for it.
Oh yes donât get me wrong. Most people are definitely not like this. I didnât mean to speak of Argent dawn as in they are all like this not at all. But a few people over there are possessed by vindictive spiritsâŚ
Some people organize amazing experiences and events and campaigns. Most of the server will never experience

this also almost happened to me in a smaller rp circle at again Argent Down
Itâs a disease⌠I hate my role in spreading it. And participating in it at one point. Itâs contagious.
I miss the old argent dawn. Where we werenât in circles and bubbles and all⌠Everybody could approach each other without fear or amnosity.
I was once a innocent nobody rpâer too before this caught on. Things are improving now though i hear.

You should read again.
There 2 ways people can add you.
One is in Battlenet through battle tag and that works fine, it requires you to accept friendship.
And the second way, the problematic in this case way where people can add your character or characters manually (by character name not by btag) using data from other sites like check-pvp to get their names and get to stalk your status and location without you knowing.

You can opt out from those sites too as others already mentioned and you can make your profile private here too so folks cant check your stuff in the armory either.

Can someone post a list of all the sites one has to opt out off? Only one I know about is https://check-pvp.fr/
Honestly should rather be people had to Opt in rather than out. But here we are.
Not everyone even knows half the sites out there they have to opt out off. Surely no one should have a problem with people at least knowing all the sites they have to opt out off to avoid this.

Who wouldâve thought that people PvP in areas that are made specifically for that interaction. The same reason you go there, too.
Or is this just a complaint about you being a prick to people thinking youâre well hidden behind the anonymity of a random alt just to realize they could figure out who you really were? You certainly have the attitude.
No. Read the thread.
Stalking is really getting out of hand, not just in wow, but online in general, im on my 4th stalker while my female friends have them on the freaking monthly basis

Watch how pissed off people are getting when a call to avoid stalking gets asked. weird.
i wonder why the need comes from. But its certainly something when people get outraged and offended by the mere suggestion sometimes.
I did. OP had a fight with some people in BFA, now theyâre ganking OP for shts and giggles in areas made to gank that OP apparently visits on the regular⌠to gank others. Petty, sure, and being able to add people to the friend list makes it slightly more convenient to do so. However, an addon couldâve done the same thing. Even /whoâing the person would. Back in Warcraft 3 you could add people to your friendlist and itâd add (mutual) at the end of it if you were also on their friend list. This helps figuring out whether or not someone is online and/or occupied, which is more helpful than detrimental in a game about socializing with others.
As for third party websites having information about your alts: yes, it technically allows stalking - in a very small degree - but it also stops people from lying through their teeth about literally everything theyâve achieved. The very reason check-PvP even exists is because entitled trash lied about their PvP experience to get carried.
Judging by OPâs demeanor in this thread, OP was probably just a prick to some people on an alt expecting to get away with it, but those people took it personal, started digging, figured out OPâs main and started taking the piss back. By ganking OP in a PvP area that is specifically made to gank. Theyâre just playing the game and I donât see anything wrong with it.
Jesus christ. Did we read the same OP and thread? Yes he said he had beef with someone in a BFA zone. And they ganked him and are now stalking him all characters. And you assume all of this And get -this- pissed off?
Where is this rage comming from? Your calling him a prick and just go out of your way to assume everything there is about to assume about whatever happend between him and the people he had beefs with.
I find it interesting how they know who to stalk and who not to.
I have yet to encounter someone online that would make me want to put them on ignore or block or report them.
So to the would-be stalkers out there, get at ya boy, letâs see if you lot can break me.
I am a Monster.

For someone who is worried about player data etc., you sure have posted a lot on the forums.
Just an observation.
This is some very facinating use of time. Iâd report such people to Blizzard. I did lose a friend to ingame stalking, but the more I think of it the more absurd it sounds that people go to those lengths.
If you are reading any form of anger or rage in my post then I suppose everyone who disagrees with your point of view must be angry.
This (and their hostile demeanor in the thread itself) is what usually leads me to believe thereâs more to it than is said. Similar to a lot of those âI got kicked from a dungeon by < insert list of slang hurled toward the alleged offenders >â topics.
How come the people this happens to more often than not fit a certain stereotype, while others who are self-proclaimed monsters like you and I are doing just fine?
