I've been having a lot of fun with this the last few days.
I sit around Brill/UC and listen to general. If someone bitches in an annoying fashion about being killed or being cured I go out of my way to do it to them myself.
My logic is, "Hey, they're ruining my fun with their constant whining, i'm going to go return the favor."
If there is something I hate more than being inconvenienced it's someone whining about how they were.

Anyone else being followed by ghosts now? BF and I did all the EPL quests and are now getting followed by unselectable ghosts... Haven't tested to see if I can talk to them as a zombie yet.. anyone else got a shadow?

I saw one of those appear above Flameshocker's corpse after he was killed in Stormwind. It didn't follow anybody though, it just hovered there for a while (might be because he was killed by guards?)

Bit mixed feelings about the invasion. Was fun to be the only ones to have been part of a one-time event, although this is one of the best events ever in my opinion. A bit shame they didn't give more effort into it. It's the same as last time.
New loot?

Edit
With this in your inventory, a shade follows you from a distance. Definately a keeper!

When a gaming company implements something that disrupts and griefs large amounts of players and then places the blame on those players rather than their implementation then there is something wrong there. The hundreds of players that are complaining about the implementation of this event are paying customers. They are giving Blizzard their money to enjoy the gaming experience. From hard core raiders to brand new players. They are all saying the same thing "We don't like how you're doing this and we're not having fun" People who have played for years. People who have spent a lot of money to play this game. Many of these people who are complaining aren't kids, they are college students and parents who otherwise play this game without saying a word of criticism.
When you have that many people complaining and your only response is "Just deal with it". To people who are giving them their hard earned money, there is something wrong.
They are trying to create a certain type of gaming experience and atmosphere, but at the cost of a playing experience and atmosphere that originally drew us here. Their response contradicts the attitude of Blizzard that we had previously respected and has kept our faithful business. There are many other ways and mechanics they could have implemented and still provided a similar effect without introducing Blizzard-sponsored unfettered griefing. These alternatives may or may not be as exciting or stimulating to some as this one has been, however it could have in large part avoided any form of alienation of some of its player base and avoided loss of subscribers.
When a gaming company introduces an event to improve the gaming experience and in return starts losing long time subscribers there is something wrong here. I have yet to see one post or one player who started their trial or recently started with a lower level character that has said "I am really loving this event. I'm going to continue to pay and play this game". Every comment I've seen from a new player has been that of pure frustration and grief.
"Only the strong survive" attitude towards me is insulting. Especially when directed at someone who has excelled in nearly every area of the game with little or no help. I've leveled 5 level 70s. Four of them solo with no help from a guild or from friends. Spending most of the time playing solo with nobody to even talk to. Having well over 21,000 pvp kills between my three alliance characters in nearly full merciless gear on a battlegroup where you lose 99% of your battlegrounds (my point being I've done a lot of "just dealing with it"). Two characters geared for SSC without ever stepping foot in a raid. Granted, there are players who are far more accomplished than me. But I am by far, no "noob".
I'm not going to adapt and accept something just because I'm told to. I honestly don't want to. I'm not going to dutifully accept Blizzard's changes and ideas just because they or you or anyone else has told me to. If I don't like it. I don't like. That's my right. And some respect and common courtesy in return would be appreciative.
I don't have to like your point of view. I don't have to like your explanations. But I have tried, best as I can, to respect it, despite a near and total disrespect for my fully legitimate and justified complaint.
In closing, it is easy to dismiss us as whiners. But this is a game, and when the game is changed in a way where I'm forced to play in a manner that I don't want to play. Even for a short period of time. I am not bound to accept it or dismiss the my frustration and continue to pay Blizzard like some dutiful servant.
