Having fun by killing others, NPCs, and what not is taking away the fun of the people trying to level. Being a zombie and attacking low levels is
taking away
their fun. People really need to remember that.If someone's immediately jumping on the "QQ MOAR!1!" bandwagon, I doubt they
care
if they're spoiling anyone else's fun.
The thing to do is to dispel the disease (which, last I checked, could still be done) if you can. If they've been shouting down anyone who's less than thrilled at the griefing...they've got
no
right to complain about unwanted cures. It works both ways.

I've found a funny bug with zombies. You can close the door of the halls of the champions. :P

It kills me that there are so many people who complain about the live events. Hello! You are playing an MMO. So much of the same population (that is complaining) are the ones who claim they want live content, they want world changing events, etc...
Now you've got it. Roll with it, folks. There are ways around the things that are going on. Use isolated capitals (Exodar comes to mind for the Alliance). I do sympathize with those doing quests, however... there are tons of other things to do besides questing for levels.
I saw someone infecting the whole Tomb of Light (Bone Wastes)... that was scary. As a paladin I still was not going in there! As a roleplayer, that was a terrifying thing to see, too. As a player - frickin awesome!
On the first day of the infections, a level 70 paladin had to try 12 times to cleanse the infection from my level 12 druid. Today, my own level 68 paladin cleansed herself on the first try. I must note, however, that this infection came from a Plague Zombie created by a player Zombie from the Ethereals in the Tomb.

Low-levels, ask 70s in your cities to create safe zones.Too bad all the 70s are busy
deliberately
getting infected...
Ask a mage to port you to Shattrath. Shattrath's hit just as hard as any of the capitals.
Or, run instances if you feel the need to level and skip out on a once-in-a-lifetime event.I seriously doubt that's going to sway anyone who really doesn't
want
to participate in this.
Enjoy the game as it comes! You now have a reason to be very angry at Arthas and the Scourge.That's the
point
: We're supposed to be
angry
at Arthas and the Scourge, not
thrilled
at them.
Hopefully, the next phase will make it so that getting zombie'd causes you to lose control of your character. That would be more appropriate, IMO.
And once again: If lowbies who'd rather level have no business complaining about the zombie event...well, the people who
enjoy
it have no business complaining if they get hit with my
Cure Disease
. It works both ways.
They will soon enough in the x-pac.Don't count on it.

I agree with you, I understand why some of these people are complaining but what about us?
I'm tired of self-righteous healer toons spamming cleanse on everyone constantly.Epic irony is epic.

The infection is really only getting worse. What did you seriously think would happen while playing an online game? That everything was supposed to stay the same? It's not like this is permanent. I mean for crying out loud it's a Bubonic Plague Rip-off to give flavor for the upcoming expansion. Join in on the fun and losen up,people.
And it's not like any of you knew this was unexpected. Ever since the incident with Corrupted Blood Blizz said they would like to implement a controlled version of a mass infection in the future. Well. Now they did.
So for some of the people complaining how they dredge this event,you might as well just have fun with it. That's all it was ever intended to be. Fun. Wow
can
be fun,you know.

You can still loot and get exp while in zombie form. Its just that you're quite a bit weaker than in your player form and if you go back to town the guards will swarm on you :P
(NPCs that were friendly before become neutral and attackable. NPC
Guards
become hostile and attack you on sight. So try to be away from and City/Town Guards when you transform.)
Also, its very annoying that so many other players choose to annoy you by either one shotting you as a zombie, or curing your disease (even though I'm a Paladin and I can cure myself). Next person who does this is gonna get a harsh /w from me >.<

Shattrath's hit just as hard as any of the capitals.
Except that Shat'trath is a Sanctuary and you can not be directly attacked. It's extremely simple to avoid infection/participation while there.

On my server, there are plenty of 70s going around and killing every zombie they see. In fact, I usually see more people killing zombies than people trying to be zombies. *shrugs* At this point, I've been on both sides on the conflict, and I have to say that being a zombie is a lot more fun and challenging. Right now it is pretty trivial to kill a NPC zombie horde, and most player zombies fall fairly quickly as well. The only place that seems to be even mildly inconvenienced is Shat, where it is nearly impossible to kill the zombies due to the ban on killing other players.

Then again, it's Anvilmar; they might just be nubs. And I'm not in Shattrath much anyway; it's a lag-pit.

/raises hand
I'm sick of people using it as an excuse to grief. As such, zombies are K.O.S., my Cure Disease is seeing a lot of use, and I'm generally on the lookout for an Argent Healer at any given moment. But I'm definitely in a minority on my server.
In fact, I usually see more people killing zombies than people trying to be zombies. *shrugs* At this point, I've been on both sides on the conflict, and I have to say that being a zombie is a lot more fun and challenging.Challenging? Both times that I got zombie'd, I was on lowbie alts and a little too close to guards. So...
maybe
.
Fun
, on the other hand? Well, you can probably blame the lowbie-ness of my priest and warrior...but not so much. There are plenty of things that I would have enjoyed just as much or more. Such as Leeroying a world dragon.
But as I stated...I'm mainly just exasperated with how people are acting. (As I stated earlier, I'm hoping that zombification will be changed later on so as to cause loss of player control.)
Anyone else find it interesting that they're called "zombies" when they obviously use the
ghoul
model, by the way?

The duration of the disease seems to have been lowered to 5 minutes. The plague is gaining strength.

To people (
still
) complaining about this: You pay $15 dollars a month to play the game and you are still playing and able to access the game, right?
I personally left a PVP realm to avoid being killed in STV by level 70s every 5 minutes. Yet, i'm enjoying this. Because it doesn't happen every 5 minutes, it's easy to avoid, and if I do get killed I get to join in on the fun.
So, really, can you that are seriously complaining about this stop being so selfish? You've had four years or so to do the normal every day thing. Yeah, yeah, they're ruining your fun? Well, ruin theirs! Cleanse them or lure them to argent healers. (The zombies explode if hit three times by the healers)
If all you care about is leveling up and getting gold then play a different game. There's
plenty
of korean grinders out there that are made just for that.
