    Huolon "Griefing" - Your thoughts?

    Hi all, on a few high populated servers, a new fad is taking over.

    This particular fad is by flying high just outside the timeless isle, flying inward and getting dismounted, then using the glider purchased using timeless coins to land on the building that is Huolon's exact spawn point. Now this spawn point is high in the air, and out of range for anyone on the bridge.

    Essentially, that sounds like no problem, right? But no. Players have begun doing it for the sole purpose of upsetting other players on the ground. The players who do do this kind of activity claim that they cannot be banned because they weren't doing anything wrong, and essentially they aren't. However the sole purpose of doing this is to upset multiple players instead of verbally abusing 1 or 2.

    So long story short, the players attack and kill huolon, leaving all other players on the ground getting upset because the players refused to take it down to a level where they're all suited.

    I personally think it's wrong, because they're NOT up there to avoid coin farmers, and they're not up there just so they can "up their chances of the mount". They go up there to make you and everyone else upset, and I think for that it should indeed become a bannable offense, as it is a form of Indirect Harrassment.

    What are your thoughts?

    It is dickish but it isn't against the rules.

    Buy a glider and join them. It has 15 million hp with just one person hitting it, so you have plenty of time to get there.

    Yep, I witnessed this once and reported the asshole for griefing. Dunno what happened from there, though.

    Because you can't prove their intent. Even with intent that doesn't hold. They did nothing wrong. Thanks for the tip btw.

    Doing it once or twice is legal, but childish and so forth.
    But doing it several spawns in a row, I'd call it griefing. Make a ticket and see what Blizzard says.

    Also, I tried it once, that he was killed up there. I was able to loot if it I hugged the wall.

    Who said that the mob hs to come to you? Why not get up there yoursf and fight him? I see nothing absolutely wrong ith what the gliding plqyers were doing.

    I don't see how it's griefing if every player has the same opportunity to kill Huolon.

    If the player somehow glitched the boss so that no player truly ever has access to it, then that would be bad.

    Thanks for the information as I have yet to see this yet on my server. I also don't think it's against the rules.

    Its interesting you say that. Because me and a player were talking who was part of the huolon kill-up-there group. And he told me that the sole purpose was to kill huolon, however watching bads cry in general was one hell of a perk.

    I knew some of you would take it also as an attempt to create mischief. Kudos to me

    This happened for about a week solid on Area 52 US awhile ago, I stopped bothering with that place ages ago so I have no clue if they are still up to it or not. I don't get it, it's shitty but can't really do much about it.

    Sure and blocking the mailbox/vendor with your mammoth is also all that you wrote, right ?! I mean it's not like players get told to piss off by a GM for it. Oh wait...

    Thanks for the great idea. Brb.

    And people wonder why some guy is ddos-ing the US servers. I find getting pissed at that guy while you Huolon-grief yourself, is extremely ironic.

    Report them

    This happened more than a few times on my server as well, with subsequent harassment in General chat afterwards to let us all know that we were "bads," among other things. I found the pestering in General chat after the fact, initiated by the group atop the tower in question, to be sufficient proof that they were doing this purely for the kicks of pissing people off. I went ahead and reported them while noting the chat, but who knows what happened from there. It was about a three or four day fad on Sargeras.

    Think that should fall under griefing. They should just fix it like they did with the Zandalari Warbringers (would be pretty simple anyhow, just change his spawn point and pat).

    Bind taunt and use it.

    "I don't have a taunt"

    Out of the dozens of people waiting to kill it, one of them is a paladin, warrior, druid, shaman, dk or monk.
