If you gank and camp endlessly one lowbie in particular they may report you for harassment.

Otherwise no, you don't get banned for it.

If you do it long enough, it's considered griefing, and that's against what you click 'accept' for after every patch.
So yes, Blizz can choose the banhammer. And don't forget that Blizz reserves the right to punish anyone for anything and nothing with anything from a warning to a permanent ban.

But if you're being camped, there's really better solutions than getting Blizz into it. Go play a different character for a while, or go take the dog for a walk. Make the camper waste his time, don't let him waste yours.

Or just get really good at evading campers. This involves maxing out your distance from your corpse, maybe finding a nice cave or tree to res behind. A hearthstone also helps, although it's not necessary. I've never gotten camped longer than 3 deaths.

The only way you can get reported for it I think is if you go after a specific person and hunt them down endlessly. Definitely not from the epic ganking battles in Hillsbrad. I'd say camping is a no-ban, but hunting might be pushing the boundaries.

That is so NOT TRUE. You can't get banned for killing a player. Even if you kill him millions of time. I dont know if it is possible or not to see the message anymore with all the GM report stuff that changed, but back in time when you would report harassment, Blizzard would state that being killed by a player is NOT harassment because there is either a way to prevent it (on a PvE server, you just need to wait for the flag to turn off and he cant do anything to you) or that you made the choice by login in that you would allow people to kill you (aka PvP server).

First off, you say this is back in the time. Meaning policy may have changed somewhat.

I am not saying you totally out in the wrong here, but that you refering to is getting killed you know like random.

That is being banned offence is that you deliberately hunts down a person of low level. You kill him everytime you see him, you follow him everywhere. You make sure he cannot advance bcs there you are at your high levels and making him eat the dust. This is not one day, this goes on for weeks and weeks and weeks until you quit the game. If this is not harrashment, i would honestly not know that is counting like it.

Also same thing would I imagine, if you use the angle that a person terrorize a certain hub. Killing q npc and making sure no one can take quest for hours or days. So you completly stop zone progress. I know it is not exactly same, but the methode is still the same to make sure player not advancing at all.

I think it is more interesting to know, the GM involvement in this matters. Even bcs there is a rule about something against something and there is some lawful grounds to take actions. This does not mean it will happen anything.

Because the game masters is too busy with other matters to care about it.
An good example is laws in sweden and justice department. Now lets say you stole a person bicycle, the incident is reported to the police. Alas the police is too busy with major crimes, so they put your crime on the bottom of the pile. Years goes by and you report just has dust on it, until it gets shredded due statue of limitation runs out. This does happen every day, due resources are strain at the police and they got no time to take care of that.

I would imagine this would be same case with blizzard, if you reported this. It may be against ToS, but hell you are not reporting something they got time to care for. So they do not care.

Don't like being ganked? Go to PvE/Normal/RP server where you will rarely find World PvP action. It's not quite that simple for some people. I know for me, playing with a sub-par computer with a half-assed internet connection, performing well, in anything really, in this game becomes difficult when I only get a couple fps to work with. I play on a low (it was low when I joined, it may be medium now...) population server and I still can't get my frame rate over 10 per second.

In order to switch to a PvE server, it would require going to a higher population server (because most people don't like being ganked and many seek refuge in the PvE servers because of this), which could very well finish off whatever was left of my fps on the old server.

I can't imagine I'm the only one who plays this game with a slow computer, so while it appears merely anecdotal at the moment, this reasoning could potentially keep any number of players on PvP servers against their will, so to speak. I mention this only because the mind set of: "Oh, you can just switch servers if it really bothers you that much." bothers me quite a bit. More than the ganking itself, actually.

I personally don't mind being ganked once in a while, for the simple reason that I do it to others on occasion myself. I figure I'm just getting a little taste of my own medicine, in that respect. Besides, it gives me some incentive to go level some of my other characters and think happy thoughts about that person running circles around my corpse whilst I happily quest/dungeon/BG elsewhere in the world (of Warcraft).

Also:

So the chances of you getting warned, suspended for banned for this sort of thing is 0% unlikely. Fixed for ya.

Just because one GM decided against banning the one griefing your sister doesn't mean that's the way all GMs will handle the situation.

Just as every person on this website has their own take on how "right" or "wrong" ganking is, every GM has their own personal set of limits and restrictions on what is or isn't considered "griefing" to the point of requiring a warning/suspension/ban/etc.
