Probably be a good idea to have a second character to level in times like this. I plan to roll a druid soon specifically for times when I might be getting camped. There is an extreme lack of druids on both factions so might as well roll one as a secondary character.

Last night I was getting corpse camped in Hillsbrad though, and no response... then a mail in the mailbox later saying:-

So just to confirm, we can camp players and repeatedly kill them over and over for hours if they keep trying to get their corpse?


This is not new information. Yes, it's allowed.
I can't tell if you're whining or celebrating.

Unless the strategy is to log out, not res, corpse hop back to a town, or get a 60's help, anyone with a mount and a brain can corpse camp a <40 almost indefinitely. Even as a Rogue or Druid, stealth on Nost is hit or miss and it doesn't change anything if the lvl difference is high enough. If anything, a corpse camper that lets an unmounted player get away is the one that's terrible at the game.

Yeah Swish, it's a dick move, not like it doesn't happen on P99 red too but at least you can loot and scoot there.

Make more than one toon and switch to the other one if the dickheads are out in force. Or suck it up and take the angel rez.

As anti-troll as I am, I gotta agree with the GM. It's all part of the adventure. Just now I was exploring Arathi, skinning raptors and having a great time when a night elf druid crossed my path. For a bit she just stood there. I was packing a bowl, so I didn't want to fight. To communicate this, I began to dance. She spit on me, which led me to believe she'd attack despite being two levels lower than me. I hastily put down my bowl incorrectly, spilling some on my keyboard. Little did I know she had a rogue friend, possibly her jealous gnome loverboy. I tried and failed to escape. Luckily for me, two other horde came at just that moment so I was able to ankh. I healed myself and ran in, I bursted her down to a sliver, /nod and meleed to death. I tried to get away, but the rogue was having none of it.

Thankfully by the time I got to my corpse the other two horde had beaten back to rogue and there was no one around so I buffed up and looked for more raptors. I happened upon a human warlock 4 levels higher than me at low health. I decided to strike him down- he was caught off guard by my grounding totem. Then I saw a night elf priest fighting a raptor and ganked her as well. Her raptor, and another I gathered while ambushing her started hitting me hard, but I used AoE and heals so was able to kill them both. But before I was able to loot either of them, druid and rogue are back on top of me, killing me easily.

I ran back to my body, saw no one around. I decided to try and loot the raptors again, and was killed before I could touch them. After a while of watching them dance around my corpse they ran off so I decided to run into a bush as far from my body as possible. I tried to ghost wolf away, but they led me into Refuge Pointe guards to I took rez sickness. I was gonna try and make to to Hammerfall or whatever it's called but I saw a warlock, possibly the one from earlier so I just instalogged.

Nost is an all out war. Fought forever, over the entire face of Azeroth. In that moment, hat's off to the alliance, they won. But thankfully I can imagine at that moment and constantly since I started writing this post, STV is full of max level horde characters with nothing better to do than terrorize lowbies. So that at least softens the blow. And I got something positive to contribute to the forums out of it. So that's something.

And all because I danced trying to pack a bowl.

As I said, if the green light is on to do it then I'll definitely be getting some in. I'm not from a WoW retail pvp background for the most part (did have a stint on a RP-PVP server with no RP tho lol)... I always thought corpse camping was frowned upon by the GMs and left people to rez up in peace - I got my pound of flesh etc ;)

If anyone has seen me in Barrens chat they know I enjoy rustling people - so the alliance shouldn't get off easy either :)
