Its living hell trying to level and I think Blizzard got a bit too carried away with how easy it is to infect other players. Specifically, I play on a normal realm. I chose a normal realm because I wanted to be able to quest in peace without having to worry about being leveled. (world pvp for me is not something I enjoy). This plague effectively turns a normal realm into a pvp realm.
With tickets so far back logged and overwhelm there is no way to report people corpse or npc camping. So many people wanting to join in, few people wanting to actually defend.
A friend and I were trying to quest in westfall. She's new to the game and I was leveling an alt with her. Trying to get her up to speed before lich king. In 2 and a half hours we managed to only complete 1 quest and that was one back to stormwind. Most of that time was spent with me on my healadin and two other guildies cleansing guards and riding around westfall massacring the zombies. Who would then QQ about how we were taking away there fun, etc, etc, etc.
I'm a paladin. Killing undead is what I do.
With that said, if you know your class, paladins are (naturally) very effective against these guys. Make sure to keep cleansing yourself. Turn evil and excorcism along with holy wrath are all very powerful. My 70 healadin took down 5 level 70 zombies with a little effort.
As negative as I may sound about it all, after 2 and half hours of killing zombies we flew down to booty bay and hit up ratchet and crossroads. Even in zombie form though my level 20 friend was practically useless. It'd be nice if the plague gave low levels temporary extra power (like that of a 60 or 70) so they can at least be competitive instead of being repeatedly ganked and their quest givers killed and killing them.
Be a little considerate of others. Don't have fun at someone elses expense. Move in. Do your thing. And move out. Don't be a jerk and camp lowbies. Don't intentionally and repeatedly kill quest givers and quest mobs. That's called griefing and its not cool. Some people can only play short periods of time every week (Such as my friend) and instead of being able to get anything done her one night off she spent most of it trying to avoid level 70 jerks getting a kick out of pawning noobs any half wit can do.

Quite complaining seriously, some of us are actually having fun.Having fun by killing others, NPCs, and what not is taking away the fun of the people trying to level. Being a zombie and attacking low levels is
taking away
their fun. People really need to remember that.

To be honest, both points are valid... But i imagine that people becoming infected, and spreading out in to the wilderness killing all they see wouldnt be fun (it is an RPG after all). And Blizz needs the people who DO find that kind of ganking/griefing behaivour fun to further the spread of the plague threat storyline they they are trying to implement.I do agree, being a Zombie is fun, trying to level while people are infecting the NPCs that you need to level, isn't fun.
Blizzard really needs to find something to do about this.

One question though.
When i turned into a zombie, my screen got dark and i couldn't see anything. Is this part of the zombie thing or should i do something with my video settings?
