On R. Lee Ermey, you can go to his site, and pick up one of two “action figures.”

Heh. How about if someone is an asshat in Dalaran, the local mages take care of it by applying a silence (preventing casting and use of any items, like parachutes) then teleport the ‘hat outside Dalaran… 500 feet of fresh air and 30 seconds or so to consider your actions…

Possibly something like the focusing lenses, where X number of people tagging the asshat get them marked and punted. Would probably need to restrict the number of people in one guild or something to prevent griefing, but if there’s a way, there’s someone who will exploit it.

I like the bounty hunter idea, although that has its drawbacks too… (dating myself here) Way back in BBS days, used to play a door game called Tradewars 2000. I was Don Carnage (Yes, from Talespin) complete with silly accent. The game allowed you to post bounties and I was famous in my area on several BBSs for being so annoying that I had the largest bounties ever. :D (I’d leave taunting billboards in some sectors, and randomly attack people. PIRATE, see?)

Just wanted to say thanks for the shout-out! It’s taken me a few days to get over the shock n’ awe n’ omgness that hit me when it first happened.

And taking my little idea and using it against one’s own faction – pure brillance!!! Bwhaha! Players would never dare stand in fire again!

Tesh, I agree. Even better, I think Ravenholdt ought to be the broker, and Rogues of both factions could go and actually pick up these player created and purchased contracts and stalk their prey.

I still say that we should be able to put out “hits” on other players. Make the broker a neutral NPC, and be able to target anyone of any faction, with the caveat that they can only be targeted once every couple days or so to try to keep it from being a griefing tool. Bounty Hunter players would talk to the NPC, find a mark, and start hunting, complete with permissions to strike the target, no matter the faction or location.

I agree with BBB. However, I’d like to add my own points to it:

1) The debuff can only register based off global channels; i.e. General, Local Defense, Trade, Looking For Group, Say and Yell. Raid, Guild, Party and Whisper can’t count, since good natured spamming woould set it off as well.

2) A 5 minute debuff is fine, but it can only tick while they’re alive, or they’re just going to camp their own corpse until it wears off.
2a) To further force the issue, make it a forced rez once they’re debuffed: You can release, but you have 60 seconds to make it back to your corpse and pick where you want to rez, or you get force-rezzed right at you corpse, possibly in the middle of the group that just stomped you.

3) While they’re debuffed, they cannot communicate in ANY open channels, including raid, party, guild or whisper. This will prevent hem from getting a free spam pass by staying as a corpse and screaming from beyond the veil.

4) Once debuffed, all kills reduce durability, PvP or PvE. If you want them to notice, hit them in the wallet.

Awesome triggers, Kirk. Node stealers should be modified to include harvesting the node while combat is happening or within some reasonable number of seconds.

Teabaggers: If the player presses the X and Spacebar in sequence at least twice in succession without a chat frame open.

Good ideas, some days I really wish you could do some of them! However people would abuse a lot of them sadly. I remember when people were getting negative points for Dishonorable Kills (pre 2.0), some people actually tried to get as many as they could lol.

I have played for both factions. There are asshats everywhere. I am amazed by those who beleive.
(A.) the other faction is made up of pre-teens that cause most of the problems. Both side can’t be made up of younger players. So should we pummel a kid for being a kid. Yes! I say if they are in the game and think they can behave badly in the game, flag em, and gank em, probably the best thing to ever happen. Plus it is often a goob who is acting like a kid, “asshat flag” pops up, get em boys.
(B.) the other faction is made up of overly agressive asshats that behave badly. I think more Horde players believe this is true. Really! I repeat there are asshats everywhere.
I would like to add a request for a new loot card that you could get from upperdeck. A Big Can of Wupass. Open it up you get muscles like popeye. It gives the user +100 to all stats against anyone anyone showing the “asshat flag”. It would work reguardless of faction. I think money could be made on that one.
One more request, if the offender gets marked for saying Anal(anything) everyone within 30 yards gets the Wupass buff. I am having a vision. We are near the fish pond in Dal, anal(something) pops up in trade, a big red skull pops up over a NE/BE, gottcha suckka, as one everyone from both factions gets a +100 Wupass buff and the elf goes down. Players of all stripes break out into dancing over the corpse of the offender. Ahhh see the smile on my face.
