Once is more than enough.
I rarely took the time to corpse camp and if I did it was only on a kill on sight character and I would do it until they logged.
I don’t think corpse camping in territory/objectives like Hellfire Towers counted since it was initiated PVP and a pseudo BG. However I think we’ve all been part of a group that camped towers or Halaa.
The most persecuted minority is the individual.
I thought they presented their opinion very fairly and honestly, and i think it is absolutely important to understand the "other side" when discussing things like this. This person looked at a pvp server, and said "nope, not for me" and sticks with a PVE realm - more power to em. What is 10x worse is someone who looks at a pvp realm, understands the ruleset, understands the consequences, understands the give/take nature of it, and decides to play on pvp, but endlessly complains about what is and is not acceptable on a pvp realm.
I think it's clear by this point it's what I consider griefing, which was the point of my original post i.e. I don't go around attacking anything in my way, but if said person is griefing lower levels i.e. just hanging around and camping them then I'd get involved. I play nice, what can I say.
Reminds me of time when we've been paid to camp tanks of one of rivalling guilds during ulduar progression. 4 hours well spent, he couldn't get out of borean tundra and bunch of our guys got only notifications from GM to stop, and only one guy got banned for 3 hours for doing that. Good times.
But anyways, literally anyone who used to camp people for hours know that you'll eventually be contacted by a GM and asked to stop, unless the other person is fine with that and didn't wrote a ticket.
Killing someone 4 times is not problematic (and apparently most people here consider this to be "comping for hours"), it's totally fine on pvp servers by blizzard, but it stops being just "corpse camping" and becomes something else when you prolong it, break the game, block access of others to content and start targeting certain people

I've been arguing about that with some guy for quite some time, maybe i'm too dumb to explain, or it's too hard of a concept to grasp, that allowed-on-pvp-servers-corpse-camping can turn into a ban, because camping someone 24/7, or flooding a zone with 12 characters for 1000 days is already past this "it's just corpse camping" line.
Can you just imagine a situation where a guild just blocks access to blackrock on classic? They'd have 6 raids, 2 active every 8 hours every day and they'd just kill everything. Do you think blizzard will go "yeah that's totally allowed, it's just corpse camping"?

That's why these issues are resolved via a ticket and GM interaction, GM decides if it's griefing/harassment/whatever or not and decides if it's worth punishing or not

Spent the next 30 minutes corpse camping him untill he logged out.
I always kill all Alliance I see, no matter the level. They rolled PvP, they get PvP, fair or not. But I usually just kill them once, let them ress and let them eat up and see what they want to do. Just more fun to have actual fights.
Then the next day I might spend two hours in Redrige killing every lowbie for the fun of it.
Zero mercy in p2 though, if it's 48+ (rewards honour), it will die. Every single time I see them.

Have you ever been to blackrock in vanilla. You used to have to form a 40 man raid .. and all go in together, just to zone in. Just wait till you try and zone into wsg. If there is a pvp solution, blizzard will not step in. In the past the the directives and rules were different, but it's crystal clear now.
How about the times when you're a brand new player, don't know any better, accidentally happen into a Horde-area and get autoflagged and then a Horde player keeps on camping you? Yeah, that happened to me on a PVE server.
How about, maybe you're trying to level one character that you know and like. No one is forcing you to get ganked but also no one is forcing that person TO gank.
Check your own logic.
I gathered that, given your post was "I don't like the idea behind WPvP", but then again it's like if I an able bodied person were to say "I don't like the idea of wheelchairs and wheelchair accessability".
It doesn't really matter, because your perspective is worthless on the subject.
Omfg cry me a godamn river. This has to be a joke post right?
How about those times you are just trying to get some loot but the dragon keeps breathing fire at you. What about those times you are just riding your horse and all of a sudden, you fall off a cliff? What about those times you are trying to swim, and you drown.
These are hazards of the game, they provide the challenge. Your post is honestly one of the saddest, most desperate and pathetic things I have seen in this thread.
I checked my logic, it is Rock solid. Yours just got dismantled in a matter of seconds.
