Its starting to get old quick. im 2 levels from 70 on my priest and shat is becoming a no mans land. So we are out a hub. Its just showing how sad some players are nerd raging and griefing everyone they can.
Oh well.

I think people need to lighten up, it's a event for a small time. So what if you get infected a few times, no biggie, just as a healer to remove disease, or erupt when you become a zombie.
If by "small time" you mean "three weeks"?
That's almost a full month of play time that you were charged for.
It is difficult to "lighten up" when you are prevented from playing the game on a PVE server by other players, and the only respone you get from people are "lighten up", "it's just a game", "just go with it", or "stop complaining".
People brag about killing low level people trying to quest. How funny it is to infect the auctioneers and bankers and quest givers. And if you say something about, the overwhelming response from the player base is "stop whining, it's fun".
That degree of disregard for civility is staggering. To borrow a phrase from a show I used to watch, "Tell me. What have I done to warrant such disrespect?"

This event is ruining the whole game until Wrath of The Lich King is out... which for me is anoying im trying to level a character to 70 so i have atleast two 70's when it comes out but that is imposible.. Then i tried to do some bg's so i could get some PvP gear, just to find out that the battle master's are mummified monkey's...And the disease only uses 1 minute to make you a zombie so if a zombie hit's you 6 time's you'r a zombie.
This event has cleary got to far.. I wish blizzard will never ever make something like this ever again..

No. Not people. Not the player base. They are scum. Calling them anything else gives these things more credit than they deserve.

Wow... Harsh, huh?
The idea is, everyone is supposed to get into it, which is why the infection gets faster everyday. I'm sure Blizzard's ideas were that the whole player base would kind of enjoy it, some being zombie,s others killing zombies.
If you don't like it, stay away from the Major Cities... I mean, most of the quests during leveling don't come from them anyway.

It's not the idea that people are taking issue with. Bottom line, I think, is that it puts too much control of how you play the game in the hands of other people. I wouldn't mind if there were wave after wave of Scourge invasions in each capital, or even each zone. That's part of the lore, that's an easy way to "get into it". I wouldn't be happy to be killed by a random ultra-powered enemy just walking around, but that's part of WoW. That would suffice to get me mad at Arthas.
But I'm not. It's not zombies doing this. It's people. Just because You're Infected doesn't mean you're a mindless scourge. It's still one person sitting behind the computer, making decisions. People are rather flagrantly taking advantage of this system. Maliciously infecting themselves, then walking into banks/auction houses/war rooms/training areas and just infecting everyone, effectively shutting people out from just basic interaction.
This isn't the Scourge. This is people. Players.
I'm not irritated with Arthas for bringing the plague to the city. I'm irritated with the idiots who think it's funny to infect as many people as they can for as long as they can. That's just plain griefing.

I hate it because I'm not capable of playing when there's enforced PvP.
Apart from that, I don't really care that much about the disruption, and would probably enjoy the plot.
I'm pretty annoyed at the Blue "it's FUN you will LIKE it or we wil SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT" attitude.

Hate is not a strong enough word....so far we have had instances disrupted....raids disrupted....can't go to a main city without being infected..it is a nightmare. I sincerely hope that Blizzard will make amends with regards to this "event"!
it's a PLAGUE! You scrubs gotta realise that it's a PLAGUE!
A PLAGUE
A PLAGUE!
You know what a plague is?
It's death, destruction and decay!
OF COURSE people are running around infecting everything!
It's a..... PLAGUE!
How can we get this through to you? A PLAGUE doesn't care what YOU want to do. It's a PLAGUE. It doesn't give a damn how much time you want to spend running around. It's a PLAGUE. It's doesn't care how many levels you want. It's a PLAGUE!
And it DEFINITELY does NOT care if you get infected and die! WHY?
It's a PLAGUE.
(on a side note: in real life, you'd be dead. be happy its in wow.)

this event is so lame!
zombie invading major city? seriously, how do players who are leveling up going to learn skills, go AH, etc
yes. granted, its a lore, as some of the players here might says,
but if its lore that WOW is focusing on, why would there be PVE or even PVP? all should be at RP server instead!

Haha...oh, wow.
I suppose I'll just start from the bottom, and go up.
"In real life--"
Stop.
Forget the notion of a fantasy RPG. Forget the notion of computers. In real life, this wouldn't be spreading like this. For one? There are some consequences to death. Like, y'know...death.
In real life, areas would be quarantined. In real life, you couldn't have people getting willfully getting infected, and then infecting other people. Most people who try to pull this sort of stunt in real life would be shot dead in the street. Not so much the having the plague as the going out of your way to infect other people.
Moving up, the problem is not the "plague". Honestly? The plague in Azeroth doesn't even need to spread. The problem is with the people. People are going out of their way to infect as many people as they can, and disrupt the gameplay of other people. Which is expected, but still disappointing.
Once people have the option to just be asses? A lot of them take it. And abuse it. Give them a rope, they wanna be a cowboy. "lol i just infected the whole AH", "lulz i killed everyone in Sentinel Hill trying to quest". The plague is not doing that. You are.
If you're going to be a jerk about things, then at least man up and admit to it. Stop hiding behind the pretext of this "plague" that you are deliberately catching and spreading.
This is not what a plague is.
This is just people unabashedly being jerks. I mean, really. People are just being ridiculous with this.
A plague, by the by, is not "death, destruction, and decay". A plague is an illness. Nothing in this plague is forcing people to infect other people.
I promise you, if this weren't a plague, and just some other event where this type of behavior were tolerated, it would persist.
It's like that episode of The Simpsons said:
Some people are just jerks.
