More griefers while rare hunting?
I went after Sunwing this week and it was the first time I have tried for a rare since the horrible cross realm zone thing. I ran across what I'm starting to fear is a growing form of griefing. I had an alliance shaman (whom I would like to name, but probably should not lol) come land beside me while I had my hunter idling by his spawn spot. The shaman proceeded to spam emotes and pester me basically hinting that they would stay and kill the rare when it popped up. I put my minipet away got off my mount and used camouflage. Now thankfully this shaman had the attention span of a ball of lint and could not muster the mental fortitude to see past that little trick and flew off, but it did leave me wondering if its common for other hunters to run in to this problem now? Have you guys seen this more frequently with cross realm craziness? I did manage to get Sunwing tough and he's amazing.

Re: More griefers while rare hunting?
i was camping acroniss and i had greifers there all week and heaven forbid they are still not at it.i was talking to some hunters and we where saying how annoying it is and we can't report them for this type of greifing when it IS.one hunter told me that one time he reported someone for killing a rare on him mid tame and the GM said he did not want to hear it.
my thought to this is its there own fault for alowing this kind of behaver from going on.sure you can't stop the flow of rude ppl but there are certain things they can do to prevent this.not saying everything can be stoped but this whole tameing rares thing can be helped by the simple spell change.
or we can take up the "if they kill it and you and had tame beast going they get droped to lvl 1 all there gear breaks and all there gold and values is given to the person they just greifed." extrem?maybe but to stop greifers i am will to do that.i would even combine it with the tame beast spell for added protection.
Re: More griefers while rare hunting?
-Make tame beast usable on friendly targets (thus fixing pets that are untameable just because they're friendly issue along the way)
-Beast becomes friendly to the taming hunter and his faction for the duration of the tame. Its "PvP flag" follows the taming hunter, meaning if you're blue, so's the beast, becoming completely untouchable by others. Unfortunately on PvP servers it means the opposing faction can still kill it but I feel it's consistent with Blizzard's PvP server philosophy.

Re: More griefers while rare hunting?
Yes, because hunters aren't already derided for being juvenile and selfish. Please don't be a negative stereotype.HunterFTW wrote:or we can take up the "if they kill it and you and had tame beast going they get droped to lvl 1 all there gear breaks and all there gold and values is given to the person they just greifed." extrem?maybe but to stop greifers i am will to do that.i would even combine it with the tame beast spell for added protection.

Re: More griefers while rare hunting?
I remember my horde hunter in Winterspring flying around when cata hit just checking the area out and this other alliance hunter started following me (slow flying I had... so slow) and when I got near anything hed kill it. Saw Rak up, killed it, saw the white lion up, killed it to. Like.. really? Then he came horde side and did that all to over done "UMAD BRO?!"
I just had to reply. "Mad about what? I just came back after being gone sense wraths start and was checking out the new landscape now that we can fly here. As for those rares? I've had them already sense vanilla."
I think I made HIM mad, considering he followed me all over the zone. Way to waste your time.
Oh and don't get me started with Wrath and Loque first came out as the only spirit beast. We had people of every class that would camp him and then hold him for ransom. I kid you not, there seemed to be this one guild that started it, theyd agro and tank him, with a healer on them and demanding 5, 10, 35k gold at points to allow a hunter to tame it. Then others started trying the same tactic.
I've acually had a GM come in to witness it and over zone chat tell them to release the animal as it was a form of player harassment and wasn't allowed to 'sell' a tame in such away. Accounts from what I gathered were temp banned due to it.
Yeah.. we had some extream hunter grifing in the day...

Re: More griefers while rare hunting?
I think what I would have done is killed the pet they were trying to hold hostage. Since they were deliberately and repeatedly denying players the ability to tame as a form of extortion, I would have deliberately and repeatedly denied those jerks the ability to profit from being douche bags. If people want to be jerks, I have NO problem giving them a taste of their own medicine.

Re: More griefers while rare hunting?
Oh trust me, I have. And so have others who were getting fed up with them. They pretty much had people posted around Loques spawn timer to nab him to try and earn gold from. It even got to where there was no point camping for it, as they had someone at every spot waiting, and if you tried to get the tame they'd pull agro off you... or kill it to stop you from making them lose out on gold.Jared wrote:

Thank god GM's started getting involved to put an end to it. Apparently after getting so many reports from hunters about this group (and copy cats trying to get in on it) the GM's joined the camp off to catch em.
It took me to near the end of wrath before I at last got a Loque tame, if it wasn't for them idiots trying to ransom that kitty off I likely would have had em a lot sooner.
I think that is one of the more extream forms of pet grifing in my books. Holding a per for ransom for gold. @.x

Re: More griefers while rare hunting?
And then I get a VERY VERY rude whisper. I was barely inches away from the invisible wall ceiling, and this guy just whispers me out of nowhere. I have reasons to suspect it must have been an addon or something, because it was the SECOND I entered the zone.
WARNING: VERY HARSH LANGUAGE!
[_____] Whispers: "Yeah that's right hunter faggot, just keep going. If you so much as fucking take one step down here i will rape every fucking beast here with my two-hand dick masher. serves you selfish rare bastards right taming a faggy little dinosuar and making everyone suck its dick"

Re: More griefers while rare hunting?
if they did say that i hope you reported them ...
Re: More griefers while rare hunting?
Wow, that is absolutely atrocious. I hope you reported him for that. (If nothing else, using an addon to harrass people has got to be against the TOS :/ )Tsuki wrote:*flying over Sholozar Basin to get to EoE*

For myself, i havent had anyone grief me on the new rares. My server is pretty low pop and no crossrealm so I'm lucky that way. I did get griefed quite a bit during molten front however. Especially with skarr/karkin. People would just kill them all while I was taming.
