I really hope that was on Archimonde and those were some of the Shipwrecked Pirates who always talk like that...  I miss my server sometimes.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

It's dismaying.  Getting a group of fellow horde together to take over the boat that travels between Menethil Bay and Theramore was often quite fun.

Seriously, they need to take a good long look at neutral cities, town guards, and evidently boats/towers/zeppelins now, and see if their combined intelligence can devise a non-fucktarded system for them to interact in.  It's one of the games greatest weaknesses, and they need to get it sorted out already.

Sounds like Shipwrecked Pirates.  My old guild from Shadowbane that took up residence on Archimond.

That's pretty funny as a neutral observer, but I can't help thinking I'd be raging pissed off if I was a victim.  Especially a victim who pays a monthly fee.

Getting killed legitimately is fine, but to be pk'ed via an exploit is eighteen kinds of wrong, whether it's l33t dewdz or pirates.  These guys sound only slightly more creative than the standard Peekay fucktards that inhabit any other MMO with PvP.

Anything is permissable for me if you do whilst a pirate.

They could be rapping elves.

I read that as 'They could be raping elves". As long as they killed them when they were done, where's the harm?

Honestly, if I was PK'ed by exploiting pirate role-players in WoW I would laugh my ass off for the rest of the evening.  It would probably also qualify as the most entertainment I've gotten out of the game in weeks.

And really, the only exploit was that they were sniping from an area that the guards were too dumb to path too. Once you get through the pirate jargon, they basically told the GM "Ok, our bad, we'll stop shooting down at the kiddies and guards who can't find a way up here"

And then they spit on her. As a sign of respect of course, Ar!

You guys realize that the "exploit" sure sounds like they were standing on the mast of the ship at the top of booty bay (near the main town npc's) and waxing people who landed at the horde flight-deck.  

If these are the Shipwrecked Pirates on Archimonde they are hardly exploiters and Bbay has been camped by one side or another in that maner on the server for 2+ months.  We didn't fuck around on Arch, the only time I got really frustrated with roof shit was Gadget, because its such a bish to get up there esp when some llama horde guild was camping 3-5 priests on the ledge.  MC 4tw...

Of course the hunter vrs hunter fights with shooting through the walls to the roof were damn fun even if I was mostly relagated to a healing role, it was satisfying to re-take the roof then MC a bunch of horde to dura hit deaths via the stupid gaurd response to MC.
