Basically the Ally kidnapped 3 Horde flightmasters via kiting and kept them holed up in a cave and demanded 100 gold to be paid via a bogus auction item in the neutral AH to release them.
The picture of all the horde standing around on the tower were a bunch of Horde scratching their heads with the airport closed.
Because users on a PVP server complained, the GMs stepped in and stopped this and gave the creative ones a formal warning next step - banning. Personally, I think this is totally lame. If you signed up for a PVP server this should be celebrated as a dynamic conflict and story event and not slammed.

That screenie is a hoot! I'm not a PVPer myself, AND I'm a Horde gal, and I still think they acted like babies over that--the GMs should be ashamed, too! You play on a PVP server, you expect the worst. That's the point, right? Sheesh, even on my "normal" server I have to wait on the Flight Master to respawn every now in that. (That's part of life in the Crossroads on Amun'Thul. :P)I think I'll start my next toon on a RP server; my 8 are currently on the same "normal" server. I know for a fact that I'll never play a PVP server. Not my bag!Love the screenie though!--MtnGypsi
