The worst part with rude ppl is that they can destroy a whole evening in 5 seconds flat.

Was with my then lvl 55-ish lock in SW att midnight putting stuff in the bank when a 23 druid walked up and whsiperd for help in Stockade. “I need to lvl – come help me”. I answered politely “Sorry, off to bed”. The answer came after 5 sec: “Your gear suck anyway!”

That comment lingered longer than the memory of previously taking on 4 mobs at once practicing mutli-mob fearing.

@sshat flag – I’m all for it!!! :)

Personally I find out the asshats guild, find out who the GL is and send him a mail saying that one of his members is an asshat. Also specifically with herbing trees etc and skinning I find the best way is that if someone is hanging around, dont loot at all…run away from the mob and then drop into stealth and sneak back as soon as they get bored and leave just pop up and start herbing/skinning.

Haha it’s called Gurubashi. Just hang out in there 24-7.

But a FFA server would definitely be an interesting way to play. I wonder if it would cut down on the jerks or just give them more opportunity to be jerks.

There is no way to combat asshats without giving them the tools to do the same thing to you.

If anything a PvA server could be created but then it would be PvP on ludicrous speed.

PvE serves can use something like a scratching service. But because you are PvE you have to use bait. A lower lvl Horde wandering around flagged so the asshat will attack and flag himself. Then it’s open season. You have the benefit of better communication as players can have both Alliance and Horde characters on the same account.

I’ve yearned for this feature since I first started playing WoW in beta years and years ago. I like the idea of the whisper feature, but far too often the idiots do whatever they do with no communication at all towards the player they’ve just pissed off. Surely, there has to be a way where you can declare war on a player and just attack them. I mean, you can do it with a faction using the reputation panel, right? Why not make it a player thing and you can declare war on a player or a guild and just beat the crap out of them.

*sigh*

One can dream…

LOL… I was on a mean streak one week cause real life was stressing me out hardcore. So I was in a rush to get dailies done, was in skettis.. saw that some alliance were taking their sweet time.. (all 3 of them…). So I dragged some more mobs to them and watched them die.

PvF would never work.. although it would be fun.. it just wouldn’t work. It would be worse then alliance vs horde. I think they need to make a grandiose arena where you can get prizes. A free for all arena with obsticles, but give marks that buy worthwhile prizes. Like s1 arena gear.

I’ve always thought something like this would be a great addition to the handling of spam reports. When everyone reports the spammer standing in the Auction House doing /says encouraging you to buy their gold, instead of immediately disconnecting and banning them mark them Free-For-All PvP or otherwise hostile to other players. Let us work out some frustration on them, then DC and ban them.

I think a variation on George Carlin’s “Stupid Driver’s” might work…
It works something like this:
You buy the “BRK’s Asshat Skewering Crossbow” or “Cassieann’s Throw-down Throwing Dagger” or or “Ratshag’s Diplomatic Axe” or “TJ’s Demonic Up-yours Stick” wand from a some vendor (Cost 250G or thereabout). Equipping the gear flags you PvF. Gear can only be used for flagging asshats; does no damage to mobs. no questing no anything else. Once flagged PvF you have to wait 30 seconds before you can use that gear. This gives asshat a chance to apologize before getting tagged. If asshat gets up in your grill you can hit them with that piece of gear. Each time you hit someone it costs you between 10 and 100 gold, maybe a sliding scale based on frequency of use or perhaps a random amount in that cost range. You can only tag same player once every 24 hours (or some other limiter). Once tagged, you can opt to send a zone yell goes out “player1 has tagged player2 as an asshat,” but that protects them from being tagged for 30 minutes. Other than the optional zone yell, no one knows except the tagged player whose been tagged as an asshat. If asshat gets tagged, say, by 2 others inside 48 hours 50% of the initial cost of tagging asshat is refunded to you and they get a 4 hour “I’m an asshat” debuff that increases damage taken by 10%, increases cost of repairs by 25% and increases the AH cut on any of their auctions by 15%. Like Rez sickness it does not countdown while logged out. The others that tag the asshat cannot be on your friends list or in your guild.
Oh well. Like this will ever happen….
