Pvp does not include the world getting 1 shotted by a single man. Just saying lol.
Kinda hard when he runs various programs to make you lag while he has no issues. It's gotten to the point where once he's in a zone you can't do ANYTHING because 1) it takes upwards of 5 secs to cast anything, and 2)You're usually dead before you even see him (again because of the lag).
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.
STRESS
The confusion caused when one's mind
overrides the body's basic
desire to choke the living shit out of
some jerk who desperately needs it
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're lying, don't need to impress anyone on the internet bud.
Most likely the wisest Enhancement Shaman.
You can report that as disturbing the server. Think it like a organized grifing to make money out.
Don't sweat the details!!!
Most likely the wisest Enhancement Shaman.
Im sorry, but...
PvP realm. End of discussion. Need an AH, Vendor or whatever, go find them in Pandaria or one of the 5+ other cities you have at your disposal.
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.
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."

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.
- - - Updated - - -
So if someone forms up a raid for world pvp that is griefing as well? No.
- - - Updated - - -
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.
- - - Updated - - -
So go to another city. Problem solved. Oh wait that doesn't involve endless mindless bitching. My mistake.
- - - Updated - - -
It already is "officially sanctioned". World pvp isn't against the rules and certainly not on a pvp realm. It doesn't matter if it involves multiboxers or not.
- - - Updated - - -
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.
- - - Updated - - -
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.
- - - Updated - - -
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 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.

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."

For the millionth time, 40 players absolutely do NOT lag the servers. Are you kidding me right now? Are you saying all high pop realms are in a constant state of being lagged then?

The fact remains people make the money to be able to do things like this all the time whether you want to believe it or not. It isn't your money anyway so why do you care?
- - - Updated - - -
As per Blizzard, yes it does. In fact this is how pvp has worked in every mmo since long before Wow.

So turn it in the next day. You may "have" to go to the shrine but you don't have to stay there. If he is there causing trouble then leave. It seems like the only person causing any problems for you is you.
- - - Updated - - -
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.

World pvp still isn't against the rules. Ever think to consider the reason ticket times are bad is because of people like you who report for everything even when it isn't an actual violation?
- - - Updated - - -
It doesn't matter. If 40 players or 1 multiboxer decides to kill you, you are going to die. Period. End of story.

You can debate it all you want but as per Blizzard's rules, what multiboxers do is perfectly fine. Get over it.
This is permitted because he pays insane amount of money to Blizzard.
There is something very wrong when one guy can destroy everything in his path and it's even worse when ppl support that.
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.
