A long time ago in World of Warcraft, Warriors used to be able to survive any fall in the game just by being in Defensive stance and 100% health. You could jump off any cliff and land and live where rogue's wouldn't (they could survive falling longer distances than anyone). Admittedly Mages could blink before they landed, paladins could bubble, but height could be pretty much fatal to rogue's, druid's, other warriors who didn't think fast, hunters etc Knowing this, my favourite griefing method ever was to invite same faction players to duel me specifically in Winterspring on the bridge that spanned over the Ice Giant pit leading to the Whispering Gorge. Next was to equip a Gnomish Mind Control Cap (helm graphics off) just as the duel timer is ticking down, this meant you'd need Engineering. Lastly, you MC the person and jump off the bridge with them while in defensive stance and break the MC as they follow you off the bridge. I used to do this a lot as a protection specced warrior, while I was limited to doing it every 30 minutes as per the cooldown on the cap, very few players could resist the challenge of dueling a prot specced warrior for gold on the winterspring bridge thinking it was easy money. When I landed, I'd use a tuber and a swiftness potion so I could escape the elites safely, being protection specced and in tank gear facilitated this a lot, while the other dude had to res with low health in an area that afforded next to no aggro spots to safely hearth out from or eat/drink & mount up from.

Anchors posted:Later on, when The Gurubashi treasure drop was implemented, I found my new favorite pastime, "Defend the Chest" Everyone wanted the precious loot that lay dormant within the chest, so naturally I did everything I possibly could to keep anyone from opening the mystery chest. Several times the chest would simply despawn on it's own or the event would start over again and force a new chest every 3 hours. I eventually became known as "That douchebag from the arena." Which I must admit is a nice change from "That loser from the forums." The best was taking a good group, getting the chest early and taking everything but a mana potion and then going back into the fray, especially good for catching out groups who arrived slightly late. Watching the satisfied victor finding out his reward is just a mana potion is griefing at it's best.

Howard Beale posted:Who doesn't do this with regular chests? (Enjoy your Dalaran Sharp!) Regular chests despawn after they have been opened regardless of if you take anything or not, just takes a couple of minutes, the Gurubashi one doesn't if you leave something inside. Bazanga posted:Just recently I reactivated my WoW account. After playing for 5 minutes and realizing why I had canceled in the first place, I headed over to Sunwell Plateau. I unequipped all of my gear (to avoid the repair damage associated with my little scheme) and proceeded to attack any nearby Alliance hunters in town. If they were bad, as the majority of WoW players are, they would have their pets on defensive mode. What this means is that as soon as I take a swing at the hunter, the pet immediately starts attacking me. Because of Blizzard's silly PvP punishment system, we both get massacred by town guards and take repair damage because of it. This was a lot easier as a warrior as taunt would not put you in combat, just taunt the pet and if it is on defensive you've hit the jackpot.
