Quote:It didn't have to be a scripted event. Why is it OK to inconvenience players that don't want to participate to give those that do their jollies? We are all paying customers. Although they seem to think so, they don't do us a favor letting us play their game. They count on us being addicted when they pull this crap. I pay my fee to play on a PvE server. If people want to PvP there, they go to a battleground or arena or flag where others might decide to take pot shots at them. If they would have required folks to flag to participate and make essential and quest NPCs immune, all would be good. There is no way to cut it to make it OK for PvP to be forced on anyone whether they enjoy PvP at other times or not.I think Bolty pointed out the pros and cons very well. This was a one day thing and if you were level 70 you could easily avoid most of it. I think I got turned twice when I wasn't trying to participate and that cost me maybe 5 minutes of my time. Not a huge inconvenience for me. I saw the invasion coming (ffs who didn't?) and moved my bank alt to Thunderbluff so I wouldn't have my auctions interrupted. Again I say if the way it was on the last day had lasted longer I would probably agree with you, but (at least on my server) it wasn't until the last day that the plague was self sustaining. Most of what is in the game doesn't even require a major city, so with cities down I just did that.:lol:
