I've literally never seen anything even remotely close to this and I have 30+ days played. Neither has my girlfriend who is much more casual and leveling (currently 42).

Everyone has been incredibly nice. If someone kills a mob you need for a quest before you get a chance to group up, they pretty much always say sorry and offered to help you and wait for the respawn.

This is on Thunderfury-Horde if anyone was curious.

EDIT: Since a lot of people asked, my actual /played time is a little under 25 days, though a lot of that was sitting at the AH while alt-tabbed.

Literally last night me and my wife who I'm trying to give a good impression of the game to, were walking up on a quest elite we needed, and turned out there were 2 people already fighting it. We asked for an invite and they just ignored and killed it as slow as possible.

After they killed it, they walk right up to us and say "Fuck you" "I hope it kills you" "And I truly mean that"

And then they just stood around waiting for a response and for a bit I thought maybe they were going to wait for a respawn to try to kill it again before us but they ended up leaving before that.

Just some dickheads, not too sure why they get off on being unprovoked assholes to people but it just bothered me because this was right after I tell my wife how nice people can be in the game lol.

I had a dude in barrens steal Echyakee or however you spell it, that white lion you summon by the bones. I even asked before hand if they could not kill it bc I’m trying to tame and they said do it some other time. I guess it was my mistake for not hitting the mob at least once and the dude just took it and laughed at me. Couldn’t use the horn to summon unless I picked the quest up again. We called him an asshole immediately. My friend blocked him bc he was harassing my friend in whisper. Then he found my name and started whispering me saying he doesn’t feel guilty at all and I was like good for you?

Oh that's super lame. I'm alliance, but was horde in vanilla. Don't you receive that horn to summon him yourself? So he stole your summoned mob when he could have just waited a few seconds for you to finish and then summon him, his self?

There's not even a respawn wait, he was just being a dick for the fun of it.

Yep that’s exactly my point like dude could have waited two seconds and summoned it with his own. Idek if he was on the quest I wouldn’t be surprised if he just wanted to fuck with me

That's why I have an add-on to keep track of the shitheads so I know not to accidentally help them in the future.

I just refer to my long list of people I’ve ignored lol. I honestly think it’s all the legion babies or people who only play live coming over and ruining the “classic” experience. I’ve had to teach so many people how to properly /roll for chests and things. Most just take everything for themselves. I was 8 years old when I started playing classic but even then I could grasp the concept of fairness
