Actual World PvP thanks to Darkmoon Faire

[Bigmorm]

On PvP servers Darkmoon Faire is a sanctuary zone in an overall contested zone.

Contrary to a sanctuary zone which comprises the entire zone, the Darkmoon Faire sanctuary behaves more like the Argent Tournament sanctuary in Icecrown.

What this means, is entering the zone will flag you for PvP. You will be unattackable (for now) but will be flagged.

The juicy part is what happens when you take the portal back to Elwynn Forest or Mulgore.. you are in friendly territory and still flagged for five minutes =)

This means people leaving the Darkmoon Faire can be ganked when they leave, this is a nice steady supply of world PvP victims.

50+ kills in Mulgore over 1 hour:

Enjoy it while it lasts, there isn't any decent world pvp anywhere else in wow at the moment.

By far not an exploit, this is working as intended.

more of a guide than an exploit but cool none the less

lol your keybinds are so shit xD and also do u move with arrowkeys or wtf?

Your attitude is not helping... Maybe you should care less about how other people enjoy their game.


To the OP: More of a guide than exploit, but I love it.. I missed the world pvp, so +rep from me

Sorry, I forgot we're showing off our epeens for you. Really man, no need to be a dick. I move with arrow keys, I have no key binds, and I'm the best druid on Drenden (Jamookie). So, meh, us "n00bs" can play way better than most of you elitists. gtfo.

I dunno though, is it?
Think about it, the players portaling back to Mulgore would be temporarily stunned due to their loading screen (more like uncontrolled than stunned) and by the time they do manage to load up, they are half dead.
Could that not be considered an exploit?

+rep to the OP either way

The same could be said about anything you port from... It's just camping and it's working as intended, why is this still being talked about.

Why are you posting if you don't care.

Maybe not an exploit, but thanks for the heads up. Good post, just wrong forum.

Yeah, you are right.
Blizzard intended for a character to be sat helpless for 5 to 30 seconds while being ganked by a couple of rogues with no possibility of defending itself.
I'll stop talking about it (at your request)...because you "must" be right.

Honorless target buff.... and it's not that I must be right its just not an exploit plain and simple. Also I do have a little more say than a leecher, I will give you credit for trying though.
