Griffer killed me with Epic mobs in Loch Modan

Hello everyone,

I’m playing WoW Classic on the Hadrocre server and recently encountered a frustrating situation in Loch Modan. A player from a friendly faction has been leading elite hostile NPCs (in the eastern part of the lake and islands) to other players, including myself. They intentionally bring these elite mobs close to us, causing them to aggro and kill us.

This behavior is not only unfair but also ruins the gameplay experience for others. I’m not sure how to handle this situation or if it’s considered a violation of the game’s rules.

Admins, could you please advise on what steps to take in this case? Is there a way to report this player or prevent this kind of behavior?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,
My char was Dirtynail [F]

Play Nice, Play Fair

Gameplay that involves Zone Disruption and malicious player killing outside of consensual PvP will not be tolerated on Hardcore realms.

By this, we mean deliberate action to hamper or significantly impede the ability of other players to enjoy the game, such as (but not limited to) repeatedly killing quest NPCs or kiting important quest mobs far away from their spawn location to prevent them from being killed.

Most importantly, this also includes taking actions to deliberately cause the death of another player, such as (but not limited to) kiting higher level or elite mobs onto or near other players with the intent that they take damage and die, or deliberately causing a wipe in a raid or dungeon group. This is not a PvP realm, and the normal PvP realm rules do not in any way apply to this realm. Outside of a normal Duel to the Death, consensual PvP flagging, or Wargames killing other players isn’t the core goal of Hardcore gameplay. If players are found to make it their goal to take part in this kind of disruptive style of play, we reserve the right to take immediate and decisive action against anyone found to be deliberately causing this disruption to other players on these realms, including permanent account closure.

On the flip side to this, “report bombing” or intentionally using the ruleset against players to attempt to get their account actioned will also be met with equally harsh penalties. Deaths can and will happen in normal gameplay, and retaliation or resorting to bullying, abuse, or malicious reporting for normal gameplay deaths are not appropriate. For example, if you are in a dungeon group and the tank ends up taking too much damage and dies despite the efforts of the healer in the group, it’s not appropriate for someone to report the healer. While that death is unfortunate, it is legitimate gameplay, and the best thing to do is remain understanding and empathetic, learn what lessons you can from the situation, and try, try again.

Ultimately, it’s critical to the health of these realms that players play nice and play fair with one another, and we will take any hostile or abusive actions that occur between players very seriously. Upon character creation, you will be prompted to agree to both the hazards of hardcore realms and that death is permanent and irrevocable, as well as the rules around behavior between players.

As with any new development, we’ll be keeping a close eye on player behavior during the test phase and adjust as needed. We want WoW Classic Hardcore to be a fun and challenging experience for anyone who wants to jump into the action.

So a ticket should do the trick, and get the guilty account suspended.
But probably nothing is going to happen - griefers in HC has been allowed to grief for months with no action whatsoever from Blizz.

The hunter in question has been reported hundreds of time over the last week. Blizzard don’t care.

I think that’s what I said too - they should according to their own words, but they don’t
