Hi!
I've been wondering about the 'Darkshore is under attack' spam that's turning up lots. Here's what happened for me...

After two or three days of the spam, I filed a ticket asking for clarification as to whether that Troll area in Darkshore is a GO or NOGO area. The GM said they couldn't tell me direct, so to look it up on the forums. I did, and found this:
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=30046515&sid=1&pageNo=1#6
" I have investigated this situation and taken the appropriate actions against those involved. Deadlykris is correct in that these areas cannot be reached via any standard methods in-game. " CM Batta

So, i figured if I saw it again, I'd file yet another ticket... which I did, and got this email response:
"The issue reported is not considered to be "broken" and should be functioning normally."
Of course, this 'form' response doesn't really suit the petition I filed, but I'll take that as an answer of "Don't report these anymore".

So, I filed another GM ticket to seek further clarification. They then asked me what I meant by GO/NOGO (leading me to suspect the hadn't read my previous tickets where it'd be obvious what I meant). Then the GM suggested I post my question in here (an indication maybe that the GM had no idea).

So, here's the questions. Why the discrepency between the post referenced above, and the email sent to me? Furthermore, what is the specific request that *you*, the CM and GMs want, in regard to this matter?

I'm trying to help you guys out here, but it's hard when the information you provide to me conflicts so badly.

Hugs 'n stuff,

Maha.

Attacking a town is perfectly fine as long as no exploiting is occurring. The areas referred to in the post you read were the tops of buildings.

Huh? Your proof that it was only in reference to rooftops, and not the entire Troll village? 'Coz that'd 'ease' my mind.

I thought Darkshore was alliance controlled?

I missed the part about it being a troll area. I'm not actually familiar with that area. At all.

I suspect some misinterpretation may have arisen during your previous correspondence with our department regarding this matter, Maha, and for this I am truly sorry. You are welcome -- nay, encouraged -- to bring such messages to our attention, as they are indicative of... creative traversal of in-game terrain, so that the Game Master assigned to your petition may look into the issue accordingly. Thanks for your continued diligence. :)

Work of art. Oh, to be a work of art.

Q u o t e:


it is.. IIRC there's only 2 horde NPCs in duskwood, however that is all. (I camp them on a regular basis)
but they aren't in any special spot to get to, they can be seen/accessed from the road east of darkshire.

I've explored the entire duskwood map. I'd like to know where this "village" is...


Darkshore, not Duskwood. Different continent ;)

It's halfway down the side of a mountain between Felwood/Moonglade and Darkshore. Bunch of Trolls who are friendly to all, but if attacked it turns up in Horde World Defense. I beleive the only way to reach the spot is via terrain explotation. Please see DeadlyKris' comments in the post referenced above.

Heya Pavonum,
Thanks for the clarification... Yeah, I can understand that things may get a little mis-interpreted along the way... heck, it's either late your time or my time, so there's always the chance of a snafu ;)

I think I'll put big 'terrain explotation taking place' letters in flashing neon colours on my next petition filing :)

Cheers,

Me.

best way to check out this village (without exploitation lol), is to take the Druid flight path from Moonglade to Rut'Theran Village. (obviously, must be druid... but, really... how hard is it to get to lev 10? that's when we get the portal to Moonglade :) )

also... i believe the Trolls in question are Neutral (though.. in a way, that still kinda constitutes friendly to both factions)
