Zombie Invasion?

Why is it everyone who hated the zombie event didn't understand it? It was a zombie INVASION. Invasions are not good, they are not helpful, they are not controlled. The concept of "leaving you and your npcs alone cause you want to quest" DOES NOT FIT.
Yes, I can see it now.
Zombie A: "Braaainnnns.... look! A lvl 10 shamannnnn. Let'ssss go om nom nom!"
Zombie B: "Oh no wait dude, he's not flagged to participate in the event, we can't eat his brains."
-_-
I'll have you know your non-spirited brains tasted just as good as mine.
IMO i'm proud of blizzard for leaving it uncontrolled. It made for a more compelling and fun event.

While I enjoyed the Zombie invasion, it was a special event that had everything to do with the Lich King's expansion. It was great because it gave us all something to do and some really cool gear for kicking undead butt. I wouldn't want it to be a yearly event because then it would lose it's "I was there when that happened" status:). Those who didn't start playing til after Lich King came out missed out on a really cool event that is, and should remain, a one-time event.
I believe that Blizzard is planning another "pre-event" event. Have you noticed that the demons at the portal in Hellfire are going through the portal? I saw 3 of them go through not even an hour ago. Have you noticed a guy in Dalaran close to the portals? He has a quest that eludes to a great upheaval--yea, I think its a grand, great idea for Blizzard to have these special one-time events prior to an expac coming out:)
In closing, I believe there was a pre-event event before Burning Crusades was released (I think). So expect it; savor it; and put it into your fun and exclusive memories of WoW.

I think the frustration comes in where people basically say:
"The zombie event was the BEST thing EVER to happen in WoW and if you thought it had any negative aspects it's just because you are____ (a wimp, whiny, like to QQ, etc. etc.). And people who didn't want to be griefed during the event should have known to go do ______ (log off and eat the cost of the game time they purchased, quest somewhere else that may or may not have been just as zombie infested on their server, etc.)."
A lack of any empathy for someone who is just learning the game, did NOT choose to be immersed in PVP, and wouldn't have reasonably known other zones or options is troubling.
Thank you KittyKat, for more eloquently explaining what I said earlier in the thread.
You can say "stop QQing, if Elwynn Forest is gank-city, just take the Deeprun Tram and level in Dun Morogh instead". Well whoop dee doo. You know exactly where to run from Elwynn Forest to get to the starting place for the dwarves and gnomes whilst effectively avoiding higher level mobs. It's a good feeling, I've done it quite a few times. But new players DON'T. How are they supposed to get to Teldrassil to level if they don't even know how to get to Goldshire?
Expecting an implicit knowledge of travel routes in a virtual world from someone who has just started is ridiculous. And even if you can talk to the level 70 zombie who ganked you, doesn't mean he'll go "oh sorry i'll stop killing you then", because people are jerks.
And tell them to log off for that period if they don't like it? You can't say asking someone to log off for two weeks of a ten day trial (uhh) or two weeks of their first free month of the game is FAIR?
I really like the idea of the zombie invasion, just not the application. I hope if Blizz does something like it again, they have game mechanics in place to protect new players from the stupidity.
