I don't know. I think less safety rather than more would do a lot to improve things. As it stands, zombie players can abuse the safezone status of shatt, and we all know what those guys giving off green clouds in the AH are up to. I'd rather just have the gloves taken off. Let us kill the infected and set roving level 75-80 elite patrols immune to the plague to patrol Shatt and smash zombies. Argent Healers can kill zombies, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue to add more NPC to patrol for them.

That seems like a good idea but i quite like it when i stroll into sw and it looks like stratholme. Its kinda creepy. if u had a safezone that was covered in healers then it would stop the qq's (maybe) and that in turn would make the game more fun for everyone who doesnt want to hear constant whining.

Imagine a massive battle through the streets of sw and org trying to capture points. like quel'danas when it opened but a lot quicker.

Or maybe just have small safe zones inside cities, like have a couple argent healers inside the bank,flightmasters, AH, and battlemasters areas. Keeps the zombies out of necessary buildings and services while still leaving the rest as fair game and cuts down on whining.

I think anyone has a right to complain about it. We all pay to play this game, and if we don't like something about it, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with voicing our opinion on it. I'm guessing you're probably level 70, so you probably don't give a crap about lower levels, but this event is turning a lot of them away from the game. All they want to do is quest, but that makes it almost impossible when you have level 70 zombies roaming all around them.

If you don't like the whining, the why don't you leave the freakin game. Get use to it. We all pay. We all have a right to voice our opinion, whether you agree with it or not.

It's funny you should mention that. I was in Shattrath over the weekend (several times) and as things got more and more out of hand I was thinking "This is awesome, it's like Dawn of the Dead and everyone is trying to find a place to whole up for fear of getting infected.'

Wouldn't it be cool if the center area of the Terrace of Light was shielded to prevent zombies form getting in? You'd have everyone who doesn't want to be infected huddled up in there, scared to port out anywhere in case zombies were hanging out at the other end of the portal.

"Don't go out there, man!!"

Going negative here, and will run long. The "I pay" argument pisses me off. So...

"I think anyone has a right to complain about it. We all pay to play this game, and if we don't like something about it, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with voicing our opinion on it."

You have the right to complain, whether or not your complaints have any merit. You don't have the right to get listened to by Blizzard. They could turn your character into a duck for a month if you want. Your only recourse is to pay or not. Paying doesn't give you any status to put demands on the gameplay experience except for abuses of the terms of use. (You did read them, right?)

Some complaints are more valid than others and that is an important concept. Is a one off event of two weeks--which adds a ton of content for the duration--in four years of gameplay seriously a big problem? At the absolute worst you shelve your tenth level ten toon (I suspect you are a serial alt-er; appologies if I got you wrong) for two weeks. It's also worth realizing that the game is not designed primarily for low level characters these days. That's why the speed leveling to seventy was added. You may dislike this but it is the reality. Choose to continue to pay (play) or not. If you don't have a seventy and have been playing for any length of time (even with limited real life time--I'm with you there) that was *your choice*.

"I'm guessing you're probably level 70, so you probably don't give a crap about lower levels"

I have seventies but also have been leveling a new lowbie from start during the event. No big problems, only the occasional hassle. Added maybe an hour to hitting level ten-twelve and at that point you'll likely be in spots where there are no zombies anyway, or have the option to be so. Sure, may have to skip a little training, but leveling is currently so fast it really doesn't matter. (Horde has it tougher, with Crossroads the hub for so many quests.) To those who complain it's ruining the holiday, I'm truly mystified: it barely impacts the low level content of it.

"but this event is turning a lot of them away from the game."

This is true for players who started the game just as the event hit. I've talked to a few of them about it. They're still learning where they need to go and what to do and sometimes those things simply aren't there. Bad timing all around so I spent last night helping them out.

"All they want to do is quest, but that makes it almost impossible when you have level 70 zombies roaming all around them."

Nonsense. The *vast* majority of quests are both done and turned in in spots which rarely have zombies. Sure, if you're level ten, it'll be a hassle, but even with the delays that'll only take a few hours anyway.

"If you don't like the whining, the why don't you leave the freakin game. Get use to it."

You have the same choice.

"We all pay."

The last refuge of the whiner. Sorry but it's true. Yes, you pay. Yes, Blizzard could make you a duck in a patch and you could choose to no longer pay.

Look, I'm finding the zombies somewhat irritating. It was fun once or twice but beyond that it's an irritation. No big deal though. It's a one time thing that can be largely skipped while continuing to play. Even if I'm not entirely enjoying it (I'm a PvE carebear through and through), it's great to see Blizzard not playing things 150% safe for once. Given the uproar this is probably the last time that'll ever happen in any form.
