    Just feel good that you can know they're literally spending $600 a month for the privilege.

    Anyway form a raid to beat them back if it's such a problem. Also who cares about Stormwind, go hang out in Pandaria. Also there are other major cities besides SW.

    yeah he actually has close to 80 accounts he used to troll the alliance during WG and TB by adding his alliance characters so he could honor farm himself.

    And PS it IS griefing when he deliberately camps an area he knows you HAVE to go to, ie The Shrine. His favourite spot is the coin turn in lady, especially on a Tuesday.

    To the OP: The guy I linked above is the one you are speaking of. He used to be on Kil'Jaeden until a guild full of 12 year olds decided to start fighting back by brining 100+ players into our Horde Shrine and using Guild Banners to block the portals to other cities. Needless to say, the lag was intolerable and would lag out the entire zone often crashing the server. He got tired of it and bailed to Darkspear and Ruinous disappeared after bans from Win trading and numerous accounts of ignoring the Game Managers and probably a lot of other stuff.

    I do not care about what sites define griefing as, but a player with 52 accounts running into the opposite factions home city for the sole purpose of farming HK's and is damn near impossible to kill without a larger raid (which is damn near impossible to form at 2-3am when most multiboxers start), is griefing. You want to take a pass through Org and kill everyone, I do not mind. But to continue farming the entire area for hours on end until everyone leaves the city is just stupid.

    Thing is, good luck getting Blizzard to do anything. This guys pays for 52 separate accounts, and there is no way Blizzard will kill his fun and risk losing 52 subs from one single person.
    The Alliance on KJ started fighting back and made him leave. This guy is obviously sore for some reason.
    Horde outnumber Alliance on KJ, but the majority of them are terrible at PvP.

    What does it matter if it's multiboxers? If it was 40 separate players would you be complaining about group play?

    Look at it this way... you are 15 bucks to them... that multiboxer is 600... now who do you think blizzard would want to keep around? Someone who gives them the typical amount of money? Or a single individual who gives them 40x the normal amount? They won't ban the dude, at the very worst, they'll notify him via in game GM and tell him to knock it off, but he'll continue and they won't do anything. This isn't griefing and I'm tired of people using that in WoW when it's meant for minecraft... there is no griefing in WoW, because it's a game based on War. Do you think rome stopped raiding towns/cities just because the villagers said this isn't fun??? Hell no, they continued on w/ the war. WoW is in the same boat... if you don't want him doing what he's doing, then form your own group to slay him and his 39 companions.

    You can report that as disturbing the server. Think it like a organized grifing to make money out.

    No you can't... 40 random people can go to SW and cause it to lag, but if one individual does it, it's now a bannable offense? Pft please... it's not bannable and you need to realize that, stop pulling make belief rules out of your pocket.

    I'm mostly curious how the OP thinks that 40 multiboxers are 'lagging' a server "24/7". One person playing 40 accounts (which I kinda doubt) or 40 people playing individual accounts, it's still 40 accounts online. The software required to multibox has absolutely zilch, nodda, nein, no impact what so ever, or else Blizzard would put a stop to multiboxing. Which, the last I heard, they didn't really care, other than removing the /follow ability in BGs.

    Multiboxers are fine. You would have been stomped either way regardless whether it was 40 players or 1 multiboxer with 40 accounts. Also 40 characters isn't going to lag the server. Get out of here.

    There are people who spend thousands on a single comic book for their collection not to mention the multitude of other hobbies that are significantly more expensive than multiboxing in wow.

    Griefing is a player construct not recognized by Blizzard in any way whatsoever. Being a jerk isn't against the rules. Pvp isn't against the rules. Multiboxin isn't against the rules. Get the fuck over it.

    Blizzard doesn't recognize the term "griefing" and if they didn't want players to kill NPCs they wouldn't be killable. Simple as that.

    As a hord I did not enjoy going about my business to be hit with obnoxious lag just by being in proximity of them and their AoE spam which is against ToS.
    So not only is world pvp against the rules but aoe spam is as well? You might want to read over the rules again as you are talking out of your ass. Also 40 players doesn't lag the server, it lags your computer. It isn't Blizzard's problem if you play Wow on a toaster.

    And yet "griefing" isn't against any rules. Pvp problems have pvp solutions. There are also solutions that involve doing such simple things as going to another city or playing another character or any number of other solutions that don't involve whining incessantly over things Blizzard has straight up said aren't a problem and won't be changing.

    It's allowed because it's $$$$$ for Blizzard.
    It is allowed because what multiboxers do is no different than what a group of normal players do. It is irrelevant if abilities are cast at exactly the same time. If 40+ players are casting something at you all at once or one right after the other, either way you are dead.

    Certainly agree that it got a bit out of hand and while I don't agree with that policy camping npcs for hours should at some time reach the point of counting as zone disruption and should be actionable.

    That's nice. You and I both know my point wasn't "world pvp is totes a bad thing blizzard just bein' mean." It's the fact that a single person is using extrodinary means only available to those who spend an entire rent check's worth of money each month to have an advantage against far, far beyond 99% of the other players.

    My point was, Blizzard says his method isn't prohibited in the current version of the ToS.

    Now, if you want to argue whether or not it should be, that's a different discussion and has very little to do with "world pvp" amongst players with one account each.
    Soothing Mist:"Healing them for a minor amount every 0.5 sec, until you take any other action."
    Jade Serpent Statue: "The statue will also begin casting Soothing Mist on your target. healing for 50% as much as yours. "
    [What's half of minor?]
    "Statue casts Soothing Mist at a nearby ally for toddler healing."

    Or maybe just maybe it is allowed because multiboxing has always been allowed in pretty much every mmo since before Wow. Nothing a multiboxer does is special or unique that a group of normal players can't already do themselves. That is why it is allowed. Stop with the greed bullshit.

    I don't give a fuck about the money involved and the fact that you are bringing it up to insult others speaks more about your own character than anyone else's. It doesn't matter and has NOTHING to do with whether this is world pvp or not. Again as per Blizzard's rules, it is a perfectly acceptable form of world pvp. I know this site is filled with a bunch of bitter hateful people who are butthurt that Blizzard hasn't fallen to its knees in financial ruin yet but shockingly enough they are still allowed to decide what is and isn't allowed in their own god damn game. You people can try to debate it all you want but the decision on this matter was made a long time ago and it is NOT going to change.
