I apologise if this is covered elsewhere, is something of a vague topic so difficult to search for!
I've recently given in to my alt-aholism yet again, and made myself a little Orc shaman. He's currently at the Crossroads, everybodies favourite stamping ground. Over the course of my time there, I noticed there were a couple of higher level folk loitering around - nothing new there, I've done the same while helping friends myself. They didn't seem to move much, but again I assumed that they were talking, or whatever. I saw them most of the time I popped back to drop off quests, etc.
However, I started to notice that when they logged off, within 5 minutes the Crossroads would be under attack. They would also only do this when there were no higher level horde around. Took me a while to notice that they were gone every time, but it was the same rogue attacking, too... I decided that as it was hampering my questing, I brought my warlock on, and saw this rogue off a couple of times, and decided to leave my 'lock in the inn there.
When the horde characters got back on, I got a LOT of abuse from them both, telling me to leave them alone and let them get on with it. I ignored this, as they were attacking quest-givers, and every time they logged off, I logged on to my lock and did my best to get rid of them. More and more abuse hurled at me when they logged back on to their horde characters.
So...that's my long-winded way of asking the good people here what you think of this practise? Using a character of the correct faction to spy on a town (PvE server, by the way), then when it is clear logging on to the enemy faction and killing everything in sight? Personally, I think it's kind of sad, as they seem to be doing it only to spoil others enjoyment...Your thoughts, good people of the forums?
