Timeless Isle nuisance camping of vendor

I don’t think you will find many people who agree with you.
The solution is very very simple (turning WM off). If you don’t want to do that… well… Sorry not sorry.

git gud :rofl:

I’m afraid the number of people agreeing or disagreeing is completely irrelevant to me. What’s relevant is actual reasons and arguments, rather than throwing up the Turn War Mode Off wall, which is neither.

War Mode, believe it or not, is a system that contains facets, and these facets can be adjusted. When the expansion launched the War Mode recruitment buff wasn’t in place. “If you don’t like it, turn War Mode off” everyone said when balance was off on their server. Guess what? They introduced the recruitment buff. In other words, they made an adjustment to War Mode.

Adjustments to War Mode do not break War Mode. There is no final state of War Mode that means no changes can be made. Requesting one isn’t a screech of entitlement. It’s simply a suggestion provided with given reasons in the context of personal experience. If people want to respond with slogans like “Turn Off War Mode”, well, that’s their business.

I like to call that PvR (Person vs. Raid), not PvP. :slight_smile:

The vendor should’ve been placed in the capitals, like the other Timewalking vendors.
At least you can turn WM off. Maybe not ideal, but it’s better than nothing.

Facets? Like what?

To me it feels like a simple question: Do you want open world pvp in your game, yes or no?
If yes; then that answer comes with some consequences.

You are asking for them to remove one of the fundamental aspects of warmode (open world pvp) just so you can get some badges. While the other solution is ludicrously simple.

I don’t think your perspective on what you are asking is realistic mate.

[/quote] What is this fundamental aspect of War Mode, and where did I ask for it to be removed?

One of the facets of War Mode is the presence of Guards in the open world. For example, guards around key quest hubs. The reasons for the presence of these guards might vary, but mainly it’s to place a cap on the level of disruption that open World PVP might cause (and did cause in earlier expansions). Another facet, for example, is the health of flightmasters. Yet another facet is the fact that a Paladin’s bubble lasts longer than the hearthstone cast. Yet another is the use of dismounting tools. Shall I go on, or can we agree that all of these things could possibly be adjusted, their cooldowns changed or removed, health increased or decreased etc etc., and all of it could take place without causing a fatal blow to the enjoyment of world PVP.

As it’s the Timeless Isle it’s likely they’re coin farming. Tricky to do now as there’s often no one there so you might have to bite the bullet and turn it off rather than be repeatedly killed as the sole target in the area at that time.

31

Nope. I’ve done a bit of that myself. I went there on a rogue and a druid and just watched for a bit over the last couple of days. They’re camping.

32

dismounting tool is the best thing ever!
pally boubble is fine, it means they give up ,and u have time to make a nice emote also so casttime is fine.

if u dont like wpvp, toggle off

33

So, what is so different now then? Switch it on or off, it’s supposed to be dangerous with it switched on, and the time taken with this thread I’d wager is more than if you’d just switched it off, did what you wanted, and switched it back on again.

34

I’m going after that next (apparently…)

35

If they’re not coin farming I wonder what’s bringing them there. I’ve done some old rep stuff there recently and don’t think I saw another player.

36

What’s bringing them there is the fact that it’s Mists of Pandaria Timewalking. So they know there will be a continuous stream of players coming to that spot, mostly on their own, and unlikely to form groups.

37

oh… clever!
didnt think of that…
maybe i should check it out tonight :wink:

38

Call me old fashioned, but there are sometimes more things at stake than simple efficiency.

39

Ah yeah, I forgot it was the Pandaland TW…still impatiently waiting on TBC so I can get the warglaive mog for my DH lol.

Open world pvp.

Okay, not straight up removing it. But you want to make it much harder (guards and such).

Sure thing mate. I’ll agree.
I’m not bothered with it anyway. I will never be turning on warmode.

But, just to play devil’s advocate; look at it this way:

You have opted into a system that allows for other players to attack you.
Some players enjoy going 1on1, some like to sneak around and stab you in the back, some like to prey on those who can’t defend themselves etc.

Those are all aspects of pvp. With your request you would be denying those who derive fun out of ganking at the badge vendor their enjoyment of the system you opted into. So, what makes your fun more important than theirs?

(Now don’t get me wrong; I HATE ganking. It’s why I would never turn on warmode, but if you DECIDE yourself that you want to be part of this system, well… It’s clear that there WILL be times when people will act unfair, unreasonable, toxic. It comes with the territory. PvP is inherently toxic).
