Hi I have been a player for 2 years. I dont really like fighting, is it possible to just explore the wonderful scenary without fighting all the time. Like a DO NOT ATTACK ME MODE.
Maybe i should try the healing roles ?
any suggestions welcome.
i have 3 level 100 characters and a number of others.

No, there is no way so the mobs will not attack you.

Well as I see it you have a couple of options.
In low level zones your agro radius will be so short that you can avoid enemies. You can also fly trough the low level zones therefore not being attacked.
If you want to explore the broken isle perhaps you could do this as a druid or rouge in stealth mode until flying is available.
If you play a druid you could heal trough raids and instances and explore the outdoor scenery either in flight form or in stealth.
Playing a Night elf would in addition to class spells give you
Shadowmeld
that further improves your options to escape combat if detected.

There are many players who like to play in "non-traditional" ways. There is a vibrant community for players who would like to shake up their game play by attempting one or more of these feats at
Wow Challenges
, they have leader boards, forums as well as a
podcast
, for players who are attempting to level in one of the following manners
Iron Man
- Level your character to max level using only Poor or Common quality gear without dying. No talents, health potions, or food buffs.
Iron Man Challenge Rules
Blood Thirsty
- This is for those folks that are going to level solely through bloody combat. The main difference here is focusing mainly on obtaining Kills that grant Experience as well as keeping under the Quest Completed Threshold.
Blood Thirsty Challenge Rules
Pacificist
- The Pacifist Challenge is an alternate Iron Man challenge and poses a difficult personal challenge for any savvy WoW player. Make it to maximum level with nothing higher than white gear equipped and don't die.

You forgot the most important rule of this one: Don't kill anything. Basically, you can only level up through gathering professions (herbalism, mining) and exploration. This sounds like the challenge that the OP would be most interested in attempting.

Well the OP already have several max player characters and didn't really mention anything about looking to level new characters all that was mention was "explore the wonderful scenary".

Very true - I read that and then completely forgot it. In that case, just fight enough to get flight in all the zones where it's possible and don't ever land. :D

From what he said, it doesn't sound like he has any max level characters. 3 level 100s and some, I presume, lower level others. While that still rules out doing any of SoCal's challenges, it does mean he could be looking to level to 110 using non-violent means.

thankyou for all the suggestions, it looks like i should just fly everywhere and not land. wont help in dungeons and buildings tho.
i am not against killing, obviously, I thought there may be an explorer option or something i have not discovered yet.
i also love all the scenary in the dungeons but i just cant enjoy them and go slow when everyone is just running flat out pulling mobs.
maybe it is something wow could look at starting. I love the music as well with my big headphones on.
some areas are so beautiful and fill my meditation hours before bed with lots of fantasies.
stealth mode and shadowmeld spells can help a bit, but i cant move then lol

Yes you can't move in Shadowmeld but no you can move in stealth.

The higher you level the less lower level content should bother you, giving you time to explore relatively unmolested.
However the legion scaling prevents this in the broken isles.
Flying is quite a relaxing way to see the world anyway, for the very few areas where you might have a problem with excessive mobs.
For those I suppose you could look at certain perks in the game such as the stables in the garrison has a buff that prevents you being dazed or stunned. (or dismounted?)
In legion we have the Stonehide leather barding which prevents the same.

the best way to play non fighting and just go exploring is to play the free starters account and make a level 5 char with the vendor gears...just ress at any spirit-healer that brings you to new territory and corpse run in the direction you want to go:) you can halt xp in stormwind keep and also for horde in oggrimar ; but of course you can also play to level-cap (level 20 for starters-accounts) doing dailys and events..Make screenshots of special feats like finding the corenegg in dreanor..( yes you can get to draenor with your level 20 char )Very useful for this kind of play is the darkmoonfaire :)) be sure to visit it when you start your char .
