Raid in stormwind

I just have one question why has everyone stopped raiding stormwind and other cities, i think that is the most fun in the game and probably why i started playing wow.

When full sized raid tries to raid a large city like IF or SW, the server can't handle it and crashes. Thought might be I remember it wrong, but I think I read somewhere that is the reason big raids aren't made to capital cities.

I don't think the DKs really have anything to do with it. The problem is the lag. It's always been next to impossible to do anything in real time in some of the cities (especially the alliance cities) during high to mid traffic hours on servers. Once they added the instantly and continuously respawning elites to the mix it mad things completely unnavigable. It's just a chore to make it to the throne room and a lot of times the server will crash.

I reckon a good idea would be to kite, something almost unstoppable to one of the major cities before your raid.

Then you would have that as a bonus + your raid as long as you stayed away from it.

Yes, Linch, and then get banned. :) So much fun!

I agree, though. I would LOVE to see major city raids become a reality--a full scale war would be even better. One of the leftovers from SW:G that I kind of wish would be integrated into WoW... how great would it be to invade Undercity or SW and hold it hostage?

But like people have mentioned, raiding cities tends to lead to crashes, etc.. Plus, the fact that guards spawn infinitely is just ridiculous... if you've ever seen Teremus kited to SW Keep, you'll know what I'm talking about.

I doubt you would get banned.

Kiting mobs into your own city I could understand (griefing), but using it to fight another city (war)............

Anyway on my server dragons get pulled into org almost everyday, nothing seems to get done about it.

There's quite a famous movie around where people kited Lord Kazzak into stormwind, if you don't kill him in a certain time frame he goes berserk and kills everything around him.

I should also add, when ever Kazzak kills a player/pet/totem he heals him self for 70,000 health

In the end the GMs had to despawn him

I've heard that you can get a warning for kiting things like that to a city

There's a few of them on google videos if you want to go find them.
