Ok so I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but they are planning something along the lines of another plague. While infecting those closest to A'dal and trying to get him as well, I flew up to t he second tier of the room. There, crawling around peacefully, was a plagued roach.
Now I may just be jumping to conclusions, but aren't most plagues carried, or rather started, by roaches?
Edit: Can't call roaches by full name...

And seriously, did the Scourge really expect us to fall for the whole 'corrupted grain' stunt again?
Probably not - looks like their plan b went into action this morning. A critter called Plagued Roach has popped up in the capital cities.
(Word of 'warning', killing them is infectious.)

As a shaman I cured it all three times I got infected by killing roaches. It has a dispel resistance, but it's curable.

From what I've seen, there are pretty much two sides to this argument.
1) It's fun, it's fresh, it's original. Relax. Lighten up.
2) It's annoying, it's sometimes disruptive, and just irritating in general.
I'd have to go with the latter. Unlike the Burning Crusade event (Doom Lord Kazzak, was it), you don't get the option to choose whether or not you want to take place in this. I play on the Alliance side (long live the King), and "zombie raids" are relatively common. Which wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that people can target anyone as a zombie.
And what's really annoying is when people go out of their way to target key NPCs. Vendors, quest givers, battlemasters...it's one thing to just go after the random people in Stormwind, it's quite another to specifically go after someone that you know other people need. Especially since there's no reward from this.
Without mincing words, you're just being an ass when you do this. And yes, it's your account and your subscription, and you can play how you want to. Thing is, every time you do that, you start to mess with me and
my
money.
Initially, when this thing started, I would ask people if they wanted to be cured. Now, if you're carrying the plague in a city, I just cure you. I used to give people some leeway, but when they say things like "Hey, I'm going to go infect ________", then you're just asking for it.
You wanna be a zombie? Fine. Go do it quietly, and away from a capital city. You and your friends go make a leper colony. I mean, really.
It's the plague. Of
course
people are going to stop you from spreading it.
It's my two cents, anyway.

I like this event, personally. It really shows the current state of things. Things are -not- okay. The Lich King still lives. The plague is out there. The Scourge is coming. We are not okay. We are not safe.

Totally agree with supremacy, we should be able to choose to let it affect us or not.
Have some common sense and courtesy people, killing key NPCs is just plain immature.
Really, it is.
Yes, the opposing faction can kill your NPCs anyway, but that always has and always will be part of the game, it happens every now and again, you have to wait for a quest giver to respawn, perhaps setting you back 5 minutes.
But this is totally different, this is people running around killing every NPC in sight over and over again, and then killing all the lower levels, just becuase they can, and it's just a total spoiler if you are one of those low-levels or somebody who needs a certain NPC.
As i said earlier, the sooner this ends, the better.

I don't know if anybody has mentioned it - raiding as we speak, can't read - but the 10-minute Infection is cleansable/dispellable. It just may take a few attempts, it's pretty hard to remove.

Ok... this is to the people still whining about their Npcs getting killed... PLAYERS COULD DO THAT ANYWAY! ZOMG you mean even on an RP server someone could flag for PvP and kill your faction specific quest mobs in starting areas for newbs? YES I do it all the time on Silver Hand! Now I understand -non- pvp npcs are getting killed, but gripping that a player killed the battlemasters, merchants, etc. which they could do so even without the event is childish. Please just enjoy the event for the flavour, even if you do not get to decide to take part so what, like you would get to choose irl?
Zombie walks up... You say, "Nah man, I'm on a normal server, don't feel like doing that." Zombie kills you and eats your brains... It is a zombie it don't give half a damn.
Edit: And yes I understand Shat is an exception to the able to kill the Npcs in, all th emore fun -.- QQ!
The difference, of course, being that under normal circumstances, the Horde/Alliance would need to invade a city to kill those NPCs. And if that were the case, you could choose to mount a defense, or not. And it's not easy to just waltz into Stormwind or Ogrimmar and just start causing problems.
And for the record, complaining that people can kill key NPCs that directly effect portions of the gameplay is not childish. You can't just attach that label to something without a reason. It stops other people from playing the game how they want to play it. And this isn't in a battleground, or hotly contested area. This is a capital city . Or any city.
The thing is, it's not an NPC going around doing things. This is another player who is specifically going out of his/her way to make things difficult for everyone. To put it another way, imagine you were out doing your dailies, or farming for materials, or something like that. And some other player has the power to suddenly flag you for PVP. Even if they can do that, it's probably going to annoy you, especially if members of opposing factions suddenly see you flagged.
This is one reason why I just stopped asking if people wanted to be cured of the plague. I just heal them outright if they're in a city, and kill them outright if they're a zombie.
Counter point: But
you're
doing the same thing you're complaining about. You're taking away their ability to play how they want to play.
The difference being the way that they want to play is only going to cause grief for everyone else. You either have to fight the zombies, flee the zombies, or wait for them to be killed so you can go back to doing what you want to do. There's no reward you get from being a zombie, no achievement (that I know of), no items, no secrets unlocked...
...it's just being an ass.
Which has its place, don't get me wrong. But you've got to understand that people won't put up with that for very long.
Besides, to reiterate:
You're trying to spread the
plague
.
Just sayin'.
