Section D Griefing Intentionally killing or disabling important quest NPCs for an extended period of time; Section B, this one also relates to griefing in a way Disrupt any feature of the Game and/or any component thereof in a manner that is deemed negatively on other users, including but not limited to, sending junk mail, repeated unsolicited messages, sending advertisement and/or services for goods or services originating outside the Game. You are negatively impacting other players by forcing them to stop their progress, and wasting their time repeatedly.

So you want to ruin the game for sub level 20 players entirely by nuking their quest givers just so your factions lowbies can get into 20+ zones and have less resistance if any at all? With that logic you'll have your own faction at level 60 while the opposing one has no 60s, so you can just prey on the weak? Sounds like some really good fun pvp gameplay right there. You're actually ruining the game for your own faction by not allowing similar leveled players to clash in contested zones during the leveling process and having fun. Nost PVP is also in a turmoil like state when you consider that there were a lot of level 60 players already in tier 2 before it was shut down, and then 6 months later when it came back there was a lot of interest from new players to pick up the game who wanted to try vanilla. They were then greeted by players like yourself who ruin their fun before they're even supposed to be exposed to any actual PVP. Then you frustrate those players and they stop playing and the population decreases and all you've achieved was creating a poor representation of the community. Go to the PVP hotbeds like STV or Tarren Mill/South Shore if you feel like killing NPCs and players alike. Leave the faction owned territories alone unless you are participating in a large scale raid looking to have a counter raid be made to combat you off.

GMs are on at different times, and people may not always be reporting in mass about a certain player committing acts of griefing. To go to westfall (Alliance Territory) and kill a certain quest NPC to prevent players from advancing is by definition griefing and has nothing to do with PVP because again, you aren't attacking players since its alliance territory and ally players would need to flag themselves manually there. Going to a contested zone and killing players and npcs is different because there you have both factions competing against each other and it would be deemed acceptable to slow them down there in order to get ahead yourself or help those of your faction get ahead. Doing the same thing in westfall so the horde over in barrens can get ahead isn't the same thing at all. All you're doing is being a jerk. I assume you're talking about the new "fresh" realm, in which case the majority of the population is still leveling, and there are a few tryhards who are way ahead of everyone else. Going to a lowbie zone of the opposite faction to kill their NPCs would typically result in a response of that faction calling high level players to come defend and then WPVP battles end up happening, but you can't expect that to happen yet on a new realm. Should you be banned permanently for your actions? No, but a temporary suspension would be in order. 3 days for a first offence.

Grats! I got a reply to my appeal but no lift on a ban. Seems their anti cheat didn't like that i was using a tool to change character models. Wasn't aware it was against TOS, so i'm awaiting further response. I put quite the time into the characters i have there so it'd be a shame to lose them.

wow, guess i'll be waiting weeks or more. I've had my appeal posted for almost 2 days now and im getting anxious. Maybe they got 1 poor guy working the ban appeals section. Hopefully they're replying to everyone regardless of whether or not they're going to be unbanned or not, just to give the posters closure.

Meeting stones never summoned people until patch 2.0.1 which was the patch a month before TBC released.

I'm currently in the process of trying to appeal a ban on my account that too was compromised, however it was not lost as i have changed the password and will definitely be adding 2 step verification if i get a successful appeal. Fingers crossed all goes well and i get a response to my post in the appeals section.
