Because it's virtually impossible to police and objectively enforce. With the War Effort and the race to open the gates, however -- we might see some involvement by the GM team if one group/guild is intentionally sabotaging a same-faction group/guild's efforts. ... but devilsaurs? Nah, didn't happen on Nostalrius, and isn't going to happen on Elysium.

Yeah, it would really suck if the War Effort lasted longer than 96 hours.

You're not going to be <SCARAB LORD>, bro -- Diplomacy or not. TRU-FAX: The two <SCARAB LORD> players on Deathwing-US were an Undead Warlock and a Night Elf Priest. The Undead Warlock was my guild leader (<DEPRAVED>)

Were this thread true (it is not), then this would have been an issue during the AQ War Effort in 2005 (and it wasn't).

Yeah, eventually Pottu will lock the thread, nobody will get banned, and you'll still be simultaneously buttmad and buttsad. WIN/WIN/LOSER

Everybody who refuses to stop and gank a level 31 struggling to kill a Shadowmaw Panther in STV is hereby subject to a permanent ban. IT'S IN THE TOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope. Nope.

Nobody is getting perma-banned, no matter how much you slam your clammy virg-fists on your Dell keyboard.

I'm in Arathi Basin right now, BTW. ( while you sit there, stewing in impotent nerdrage )

ITT: an angry virg-sperg struggles to understand how notifications work.

You seem kinda mad -- and sexually inexperienced. Nice first post, kid.

You unverified anecdote needs more evidence than that. Somebody really ought to ban that cheater who controls the [Stonesplinter Dagger] supply on the Horde AH (for 2G!!!!!!!!!!!). What a cheating cheater that guy is.

Nope. I've been playing on Nostalrius since April 2015 and my highest characters are just hitting Level 38 today (3/5/17).

Battleground win-trading and controlling devilsaurs are not comparable. There is no way for the Elysium GM Team to "police" Alliance players/guilds joining the same ventrillo/teamspeak/mumble/discord server as Horde players/guilds with the purpose of "sanctioning" said players for "cooperating" to control devilsaurs. There is a "PVP solution" to the mafia -- bring your own team/guild/inter-faction alliance and kick their asses and take control of the devilsaurs. There is no "PVP solution" to battleground win-trading (by the very nature of win-trading). Yeah, no. Not gonna happen just because a handful of buttsad Rogues and (Fury) Warriors think they're entitled to devilsaur leather because "MUH PRE-RAID BiS" Hopefully this thread quick devolves into 100+ comments from impotent non-factors screeching about how "LIKE TOTALLY UNFAIR AND STUFF" it is that there is hyper-competition for Devilsaurs.

^---- this thread

We need more threads about this.

This is not a bug. Specifically, it is not a bug to be attacked by a Hunter pet while (re)stealthed. ( this mechanic also works with Warlock pets ) Consider the following scenario (which is usually how it happens): - You (a Rogue) attack me (a Hunter). I instruct my pet to attack you. - I proceed to kick your ass (which is what would happen cuz BHOTS). In desperation, you Blind me and Sprint away. I am disoriented, but my pet is still targeting you. - Because you are Sprinting away, you put enough distance between yourself and my pet that you are able to drop combat and re-stealth (Note: this is "manually" re-stealth and NOT gaining Stealth by way of Vanish.) - However, because of "Pet AI", re-stealthing does not break targeting, so until/unless I instruct my pet to cease its pursuit of you, it will continue to track you (even though you are stealthed). - When my pet is in melee range of you, it will continue to auto-attack, causing you to lose Stealth and enter combat yourself. This specific scenario is NOT a bug and is totally "Blizz-like" and this mechanic is one of those lesser-known mechanics that separate the pros from the not-pros. There are also specific conditions where a Rogue can Vanish, but lose stealth because it was hit by a Hunter pet AOE ability immediately thereafter [Notably: Screech (Bats) and Thunderstomp (Gorillas)]

So much defensiveness for so much purported innocence.

Beware of individual level 1-2 alts in Gadgetzan and Everlook, particularly if a Rogue or Night Elf. Level 1 alts in Booty Bay are usually just other players doing their thing, unless said character is trying to stay hidden from view (behind Auctioneer O'Reely, or stealthed at the other two auctioneers).

Is there an internal policy that states "Posting a whiny ban appeal in the wrong forum is grounds for an automatic 'NOPE NOT GONNA EVEN LOOK AT IT STAY BANNED LOL' response". Cuz there should be.

No, it's highly illegal. The FBI cops have been summoned to Moonglade.

Yes, you can give gold to a friend. Jesus Christ.

This is just Pottu's way of telling everybody to STFU and level their fishing skills.
