NPC sharing will be griefed to high hell

[autopsy]

A benefit of the increased hp is that a rare will live longer making it easier to see one alive and join in on the kill.

[Cernunnos]

Just lol, you think that while i fight a rare you can come attack it once and then just sit back and get a reward while i do all the work ??
Sorry to disappoint you but i am a hunter, if i see another player do this thing then i will just feign death and the mob will attack you instead!
Then i will just attack it, sit back and enjoy the fight.

God I'd kill for a threat drop on my warrior to do exactly this. But that won't happen.

Some random guy comes up hits it once, then stands back to try and make me do all the work while he waits till it's dead to collect his loot, so I drop threat to push him on top threat so it attacks him, then I help him kill it. Unless he also has a threat drop, highly likely since warriors DKs, uh monks dont have a threat drop, or do monks have a threat drop? I know warriors and Dks definitely dont.

I'm a mage. I'll hit the mob, invis, and fly away.

This is Blizzard bringing Diablo to WoW. Either they have too much faith in the community or they didn't think about griefers when coming up with this idea.

crz is not in pandaria atm so people that do this im sure will be exiled from their server's "community"

[DerSenf]

But then you would delay your OWN reward as well as his... whats the point?

The point is, there IS a reward (or at least the chance to it) as opposed to "the mob is tagged and attacking it further doesnt give you anything and only helps the one who tagged it.

[Kaleredar]

You could always call out that you're killing the rare.

One asshole trying to grief other people will quickly see their work undone when seven people all wanting to kill the rare come in and start helping.

And that's where the truest victory lies: Disappointing an asshole.

[Deleted]

I think it's quite sad that the first thing some people think about is griefing...be it because they want to do it themselves or because they are afraid others will do it.
Sad indeed that the community has become so bad.

In my opinion, if Blizzard can pull this off somehow and manages to avoid such problems, this is an awesome change. Definitely.

[Shekita]

To be a dick. I would probably do it just to be an asshole. Primarily because I can't stand the WoW community.

Oh and because I'm an asshole. lol.

Dunno what you are smoking but CRZ is most definately active in pandaria.

this is exactly what will happen on all but the deadest servers. and on the dead servers you can't really afford to be an asshat.

Not by default. If you invite someone to your group/realm via battle tag yes, they can come to pandaria on your server likewise for you on their's. but If I am standing in the shrine of two moon on one server, and my friend does the same on another server, and we are not in the same group, we cannot see each other in the shrine of the two moons. Or any other zone we pandaria we happen to go to, be it dread wastes, townlong, jade forest, etc.

[velde046]

Well tapping it will generate aggro on the mob anyway, so if the target of your griefing has a way to drop aggro, guess what's happening then???

Only by invite though... not like in the rest of the world where it is automatically done... In Pandaria you cannot come across players from different realms unless they were invited by someone.

well, it´s people with your attitude that cause the problem not blizzard

[Lana]

it's not too different than the griefing that took place before this change, where someone taunts and resets the mob on you. granted, the latter is more difficult to accomplish, but the point is that you can't really take 100% preventative measures against griefing.

[cFortyfive]

Sure it has nothing to do with "the people" who are too lazy to type some words along the lines of please invite me.

[Serissa]

People ALREADY do this to shared tagged quest mobs. I doubt they're trying to wipe me, but I can't tell you how many times I've been beating up on some 1M-ish quest mob and had some asshole mage ice lance it, then go back to his other tagged mobs while I finish off the quest mob that now has another 300K or so health. It's bullshit and it ought to be reportable as griefing.

Drop your threat and enjoy his death

[Olianda]

Paranoid kids. This is just like when Blizzard announced Cata would let people fly in Azeroth. "Aw noes! Peoples is going to keep flying over low lvl zoens killing teh lowbeis! GG Blizzerd, you done killd WoW again!"

To be fair, there are routinely threads posted upon by Blues about ganking and griefing. It was a LOT less common when people had no reason to take half an hour to get to Silithus, or somewhere like that (aside from rep of course.)

[majesta]

Don't know what world of warcraft you are playing but rares is faceroll. they were hard when you were lvl'ing or just dinged 90 cause you did not know what to avoid and what to get hit by but over time they became so easy even my lvl 85 hunter could kill any rare in dreadwaste.

Yes because those Dread Waste Monk rares are so easy for priests to solo that don't have an interrupt on a short enough CD to solo them. Not all classes are created equal. Shouldn't speak for the whole when you clearly lack knowledge about others.

See someone tag a rare mob, tap it once to give it 50% more health, sit back & watch.

does not happen in any other MMO which uses this mechanic. Why do you assume that people who play wow are more likely to act like tossers than other gamers?

---------- Post added 2013-02-25 at 09:41 AM ----------

What's the point of "Rare" when you and 70 of your friends can all go and hit it and get the loot?

I'll never understand why people complain about mob tagging in the first place. I Suppose it may be due to my lack of ADD.

]]
because its a mechanic that makes people actively dislike seeing other players in what is supposed to be a multiplayer game maybe.....

And nice job on the insult to everyone who disagrees with you there, implying they must have ADD...so mature.

[Jinouga]

I can confirm I was on the PTR and I hit a rare spawn in a group of three people, the third guy said he was going afk and the mobs health dropped accordingly.
