The ultimate mass money sink...
Anyone consider the financial implications of this event? Not only has using the auction house become impossible, repair bills are going through the roof.
I can be certain that none of my auctions that would normally sell on my server aren't going to because of this event and that it is unlikely I'll be able to put them back up on auction without corpse walking at least two or three times.
That's my QQ and I'm sticking to it.

I did have a thought of a certain benefit of the invasion. I bet this event is wrecking absolute havoc on gold farmers.

I'm not logging in again until this damn thing is over. I'm spending 50+ gold a day in repairs and I'm not even raiding right now. And that's on my priest! I don't even WANT to say how much gold is being wasted on my hunter with repairs, food to keep my damn pet happy since the idiots kill my pet first, and money not earned because i can't turn in a single quest.

*SIGH* This zombie hell is taking up too much of peoples mind now..
Several people (incl. atleast 8 from my guild) refuse to log in, until they are gone. I'm thinking of the same thing..
It's simply not fun, playing when you get insta-zombified (turned to zombie without being infected first), the second you land in Shat..
- You can't level a toon, as you get ganked all the time by superiour zombies
- You can't bank/AH as the toons you use for that is usually lvl 1 and ANY zombie can one-shot you.
- You can't fly around, ad flight master in most major cities are always dead.
SHAPE UP, BLIZZARD!: Stop this madness now, or loads of players will cancel their subscriptions before WotLK is released!

If you are taking part in the Wrath beta, it should. If not, it will when Wrath comes out.

I'm glad someone finally said it. From the beginning, the ability to turn into a zombie and kill any important NPC has seemed to me like it was designed to two things. 1) Disrupt the economy and 2) Relieve stress on the BG servers. Like childofnewlight said, repair bills going through the roof and the almost complete halt in all AH activity makes trying to earn a few extra gold for WotLK difficult.
I don't know about anyone else but my battlegroup was having some serious issues with the BG's constantly going down since the patch. Now, it's nearly impossible to queue. Problem solved?
The fine folks at Blizzard aren't stupid. They knew exactly what would happen if they gave people the ability to kill auctioneers, battlemasters and such.
With all that being said, I'm still enjoying the event. I just finished picking up my last piece of
Blessed Regalia of Undead Cleansing
and it's given my Argent Dawn rep a decent bump.

I'm liking these turn of events now with phase 6. Putress has a big !@#$ing role and well.. to be blamed for the entire plague in the first place. He has an important part of the Litch King cinematic in Northrend and it appears all this is just a ploy of sorts to harvest more genetics for his researches.
And to all those crybabies whining about it lowering the quality of their game play.. all I can say is that it's intended this way. It's a massive bunch of lore smacked right in your face and you'd better appreciate it for when WotLK comes around; there'll be much more of it. Northrend has a massive story line and you'd better accept it now or leave the game right away.

I'm new to WoW, and my highest level character is only level 17. Overall, I've really enjoyed the game so far, and I've tried to keep an open mind about this zombie event... but it definitely seems to be bringing out the worst in people.
This game isn't fun when I'm shopping on the AH and some @$$hole zombie sneaks up behind me and kills me.
This game isn't fun when I go out into the wilderness to try to get away from the zombies... and die anyway, because a huge horde of them is out patrolling for any low-level characters they can find and kill.
This game isn't fun when, all day long and everywhere I go, I hear a bunch of jerks saying on the channels, "Oh, you don't like us level 70 zombies who are camping xroads and camp taurajo all day long? Well, too bad! You should just quit playing - it's your fault that you don't have a level 70 character yet to fight back with!"
My roomie just gave up and is refusing to even log in until this zombie crap is over with... and I guess I could do that, too, but why should I have to? We paid for a month of WoW - why should we only get to use 3 weeks of it? Why should we have to suffer because we're new to the game and don't have high-level characters to fend off the level 70 @$$holes?
Where's the fun in that?
If you hate the zombies join them :P
I hated them (and being them) until yesterday. 3 of my friends and I went to kill another friend in Orgrimmar, and he joined us in our killing. Half an hour later we'd killed nearly all of Orgrimmar ^^
And afterwards we went to Undercity and destroyed that place too.
It's great fun if you side with the zombies.
And just ignore the ***holes who tell you to quit if you can't fight back. Everyone's been a low level someday ;)
Oh and I see a LOT of whiners here... How come?
"I get a high repair bill..." - Take your gear off...
"I can't get to use the AH..." - Try another city...
"It's annoying..." - Turn around and run when you see a zombie, and stay out of the capital cities...
Just live with it. Itøs a one-time event and I for one will not miss it. But if you think it's sooooooo annoying, then stay away and let us who like it play, without getting all those whines.
Thank you ^^

As a draenei I have nothing to do with either Apothecary Putress or some weird brain or shrunken head thing you're all talking about. The commoners sent me to Bishop Lazaril. Bishop Lazaril wanted me to take a Light-infused Artifact to Velen in the Exodar. She says that with the Naaru's help, we're able to get enough concentrated light to fight back against the necropoli. Nothing about a cure for the plague.
Please update the page so it isn't as Horde-centric.
