I LOVED the plague event pre wrath, it was so much fun I cannot even stress how great it was, but from what I remember it wasn't lowbies trying to level who complained it was the HORDES of people sitting in the AH all day and bot farming the AH who were screaming and throwing temper tantrums like spoiled 2 year olds who were the ones complaining. Man...I was so let down and sad when pre classic wrath removed the plague event due to these people......

@CaptainGrim Displate is pretty suspect of some insanely high level artwork and property theft and they need to be stopped not encouraged to profit from other peoples works. They have a "verification process" which lays all of the responsibility upon the image uploader to be legitimate but quite clearly the world doesn't work like that and people copy paste a lot of work on the internet which is still theft. To wash their hands of any responsibility of validation while making a huge profit from said works is unfair, as a content CREATOR and ARTIST such as yourself surely you can agree with this...

During the BFA expansion, there is an Event where you can ride a horse named Cooper, but if you dismounted him before finishing the quest, Cooper would instead Follow you around like a (non combat) pet and this stacked, so you could end up with like +20 Coopers following you in 2 straight lines. And i brought this attention to some friends, i showed them how it's done, other players who was gonna do the daily saw us doing it, asked how, i told them, then we got the idea to mount up, with an army of Coopers each to Kul Tiras, more and more people were told how to do it, and eventually, there was enough coopers to fill the whole damn screen! I was standing by the railing facing the fountain by the Flight Master, there wasn't a single surface that was safe from Coopers, Even the ROOFS had Coopers! It was one of my proudest WoW moments xD

[@thenerdbeast7375]

The King Jokumm incident made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. Peppie showed the right amount of restraint to have his cake and eat it too, being able to pretty much enjoy an exclusive Ice Giant playable race for a few days before he decided to turn himself in. That GM was super cool to see the humor in it only give him a slap on the wrist, if things had gotten more out of hand the GM may have not been so understanding and may have been much less forgiving.

One thing you missed about the funeral crash is that the father of the girl who had passed away logged in to her character for the ceremony, and that character was the first one to get killed.

All that min/maxing just killed all the fun dor me. And it's not like it's mandatory because the game is insanely hard, we had no idea what we were doing back in 2005 and it worked just fine :D

[@rhyla5719]

I actually recall a point in the Shadowlands-prelaunch event. Someone figured out that if you ghoul-infected the npcs on the Orgrimmar gates leading out to Azshara then there would be infinite NPCs for them to infect... it would get so bad that ALL npcs in the area were invisible.... you'd lag out, crash, and when you got back in you'd be DEAD but maybe finally see a few ghouls going mob-to-mob like old fashioned windows smears screens.

I had a similar situation as the Serenity Now funeral crash. So I was on Emerald Dream (any other ED players probably knows where this is going) and the guild I was a part of went to go to a funeral over in the eastern plaguelands since it was a large funeral with other alliance guilds. This was back when Emerald Dream was still an RPPvP server, so all of us went there in our respective RP gear since this was also before transmogs were a thing. So the funeral was going smoothly, we were paying our respects and mingling, when the largest horde guild on that server known as Warsong Battalion showed up and completely crashed the funeral, ganking and camping everyone there. This probably happened for either around or more then half an hour and caused the guild I was in to basically disband and go to other servers.

I think the worst part for people who didn't enjoy being a zombie and being a dick, is that there aren't rewards for clearing out the zombies. If Blizzard introduced large rewarding quests for ghoul player killing, or something similar like kill 5 people as a ghoul and 5 players who are ghouls for a elite quest of exp and decent gold income - and make it repeatable. Maybe introduce a non flagged area where the ghouls can only attack every hour and you have to try to stand in defense, i'd almost say make it an instance pvp battleground you can have like 200 people in, 150 zombies and 50 players with some guard assistance, could do a stormwind and org instance have alliance be ghouls for org.. and reverse for the horde. Then people will be on board and you can bring it back every couple of months for fun pvp stuff.

If they were questing or something, sure, like you said, bad mannered, but still to be expected.

Agreed. You have to be a special kind of lowlife to crash a funeral like that, even if it’s taking place in a PvP zone. It’s a funeral, a virtual one but still honouring a flesh and blood human who died. Now admittedly I don’t play WoW so I don’t know how feasible this is but… at the same time the organisers should have known that something like this would happen and chosen to have their ceremony in a non PvP area. It reminds me of when I played Star Trek Online at the time Leonard Nimoy, Spock’s actor died. I felt an unusual compulsion to fly to Vulcan, the homeworld of Spock to sorta silently pay my respects. What I didn’t expect was to find Vulcan overloaded with other players who had come to do the exact same thing. Hundreds of players gathered in a certain spot and it turned into a virtual funeral of sorts. But of course while the majority of people were solemn and respectful as we shared our memories of Spock with each other, there were a minority who did everything they could to ruin it. No pvp fortunately but they ran around releasing party poppers and stuff like that. They were ignored, but it just goes to show there are honourless lowlifes in every community. The devs took notice of the occasion and soon put an official memorial in that spot on Vulcan.

Peppie is a real hero who understood the true meaning of "with great power, comes great responsibility". What an absolute legend, and the GMs are just as legendary for their response when he came forward. A 3-day suspension is awesome all things considered. A better era... now long passed. 😥

[@AdolfoWWolf]

Man, imagine how many other incidentes happened the way the one with King Yokum, the fact that this exists and i never heard of it puts the mind to think of other exploits that might have died soon after their discovery, and could have a worldwide potential, like the most famous, one. Thanks for another great video Captain, this one was really awesome, to see all of these ways players had always been a force of chaos in WOW.

12:03 Reminds me of the Eve Online heists. The original one I remember was a guy spending like 2 years working his way up the ranks in a corp until he finally had full access to their assets. He then cleaned them out and vanished into the ether. Instead of raking in tens of thousands of dollars worth of resources like Eve, this guy raked in tens of thousands of dollars worth of tears.

Gamers today are a reflection on the world today, entitlement is rampant, and instant gratification is expected. Was so sad to see Blizz cancel the zombie event in wraths release early.

[@yazan80]

Thank you for taking me back down memory lane. I miss those days.

[@talisredstar1543]

Personally I've always believed in PVP, that if a character is a certain amount of levels below you, if you choose to gank them and most likely one shot them. Then you shouldn't just loose honor, but a level. The more the level difference is, the greater the punishment. More honor loss, Conq points, to rating, or even more levels. Why? because there is no sport in it. your just being a dick.

[@Ocyla]

Yeah I always had my own system of honor for that, I'd never kill someone 5 levels or lower unless it was a contested area and they didn't get the hint to leave when I was staring at them and not attacking. A karma system like Lineage 2 would have been a good idea too.

[@madcat789]

The Legion Pre-Launch event was so buggy and I fucking loved it. As a level 70 paladin, you could get the level 110 buffs from those vedors for free, and they would give you the 110 VERSION of that buff. Those world bosses, however, were scaled to *your* level, since the pre-launch was where they introduced that scaling. So here comes a level 70 Paladin swinging his stuff, and in five seconds flat kills a level 110 World Boss Demon with a Super-Crit Avenging Shield\Judgement blow.

[@pumirya]

The people who interrupted that funeral deserve all the bad karma in their lives that happened to them. I’m going to bed they would want people to give their family and friends respect if they passed away but it’s different for someone else isn’t it? Absolutely despicable people….

[@vhaelen326]

you have it backwards, it wasnt evil pvp'rs who invaded a funeral it was a funeral that invaded a GAME people play for FUN keep your IRL crap out of my game if you disagree: a similiar situation (IRL) would be to take a picture of your dead friend, family, pet, whatever going to a kids birthday, a kid youre not related to, a kid you dont know and yell at all the kids for laughing and running around while youre trying to talk about some dead person, at that point the birthday doesnt even need a clown because you come free of charge dont drag your BS into my game and expect me to act like the bigger person i am TRULY sorry for the friends and family that had to go through that i really am but dont put the blame on the evil players when you make it THIS FUCKING EASY to mess with you

I don't think most WoW players played Warcraft 3. Maybe not as much as back in the day, but I'd still bet half the players at minimum didn't play W3 during the WotLK.

[@voidwarhammer]

Great vid! I remember when I was in the Wrath beta, I found a bug with a quest in Howlng fjord, or maybe grizz hills where you were given an item that when used would summon a rock golem you would then ride to do the quest. It was possible to bug this quest out by using another item (can't remember which) while ridding the golem that would dissmount you, but the golem would stay as your minion. You could repeat this indefinitely and make an army of golems. I took 50-60+ up to Zul drak to solo Thrym and suceeded. I thought about keeping quiet about it to see if it made in retail, but alas, I was a good boy and reported it..... :(

Yeah it might have been a virtual funeral but it doesn’t change the fact that a real person died, and that real people were mourning and respecting that real death. It takes a special kind of lowlife to cause people already mourning even more grief.

You missed the Martin Fury incident! Similar to the King Jotumm one, though the player only used it in raids to my knowledge so its effect wasn't as wide reaching, but the circumstances surrounding how the player received the item and its effect itself was certainly worth mentioning.

[@CaptainGrim]

yup was a great thing that happened indeed, but yea as you mention i just didn't really feel i can include it here, since it was mostly used for clearing raids and such and not causing other players grief. but would definitely cover it at some point in the future!

You are a true legend among WoW players! I’m glad you had fun with the bug and was very kind to turn yourself in by telling the GM what you did as well as the GM was super nice about it and fixed the bug. You have my respect from me as a former WoW player!

I agree that players being awful to each other is what makes online games great. It's much more memorable than everyone just mindlessly cooperating. I always feels bad when I see today's generation crying about "griefing" every time someone does a harmless internet prank.
