I mean I'll just go somewhere else to level but at some point you can add a bit of integrity and community to the server by just upholding some basic and common standard of behavior.


Actually, you're asking for a massive subset of rules to be created, monitored, and carried out by an underwhelming number of people for an overwhelmingly large server.

Is 30 minutes harassment for using a spell a ban? Is 5? is it 2 hours? is it 1 minute? 1 time?

What if a rogue skins the beasts I kill? Are those mine so he should be banned?

What if a hunter pulls aggro and runs away to reset mobs, is that bannable?

Are you going to ban everyone?

Is it annoying? Yes. Is it fucking stupid? Yes. Are they douchebags? Yes. Did the GM do anything wrong? No. Am I going to enjoy the comment about sucking his dick? Yes.

Edit: Oh Tucker brings up a good point. I remember having to log off for days because of campers while levelling in vanilla. DAYS. Seriously man, you want to be treated like an adult? Here it is for you: Suck it up big boy, life's hard.

the distinction that needs to made here is simple.

it's not really griefing if they do this for a limited amount of time. it's unfair and it's rude, but it's not griefing. now, if they follow you around for no reason other than to fuck with you and do this for an extended period of time, then it becomes griefing.

why don't you just log out for 30 minutes or do a different quest while they finish and then come back.

Be sure not to use sinister strike, that's bannable.

Edit: (If it even hits for the right damage)
