After 2 years of playing WoW hardcore, raiding and killing KT I’ve seen endless amounts of weird deaths, but they seem to have increased by a large amount on the anniversary servers. A lot of people dying to server lags, newly introduced bugs and the only time any action was taken when OnlyFangs died in BWL. While I do encourage actions being taken, it seems rather unfair and very demotivating to continue playing a game mode, especially when you do it via research, preparation, grinds and any/all safety concerns just to get insta clapped because Blizzard introduced a new bug or their world server went down. I am also very much aware that in the character creation we all clicked “I agree” on the long message about deaths being irreversible, but that went away when thousands of characters were revived.
Here are some links of my own personal experience playing on Soulseeker:

Rogue death Youtube: watch?v=x3Jtri65Gf8&ab_channel=Slushie
World server lag, into me being kicked out of the game. Sound on and you can tell that I very much still have my connection. -

You’re welcome to check both video and logs and tank positioning and threat, there is still no explanation as to why the boss would randomly Mortal Strike me

Here is another video of the same thing happening to someone else.
This post may seem whiny to some, but it’s just an attempt to get some accountability when it comes to Server issues, bugs or anything that would be on Blizzard side, as anyone who has ever played classic knows the amount of time and effort it requires to get to this level, not only by the players themselves, but effort from anyone who was involved with them along the way. Having died to a mistake of your own or someone you have grouped up with, great, that is the game, however going out like this is not the way.
