My friend and I were 2s arenaing running Ret/Mut and we faced Warror/Resto Druid.

The warrior and I died and it was just my friend and the resto druid, both unable to kill the other.

Neither of them would leave the arena however, the druid just running and spamming Lifebloom while my friend the ret paladin just keeps on dpsing him.

After 30min+, all of a sudden, the druid's warrior suddenly rezzes and the two proceed to kill my friend.

Both of us were confused and wondered what the hell was going on?

A couple of minutes later, a lvl 1 alt msged my friend saying something along the lines of "get owned son, don't mess with the GMs you piece of [Removed]"

My friend submitted a ticket hoping to get an answer, and right after he submitted it, the lvl 1 said to him
"yo lol, don't ticket that [Removed] I am a GM, I see the ticket." All of a sudden, my friend's ticket was removed.

Anyways, my friend just went out to eat dinner with his family, but he has the names of the druid and warrior we faced and screenshots of what had occured.

The lvl 1 who whispered my friend however, was a level 1 horde named "Notanorc" and whispered him around 8:25 ST"

Frankly, I am appalled by the behavior of this "GM" and hope for an answer on what happened =P

Honestly, it sounds more like a fellow player created a character and whispered your friend.

Do you happen to remember the name of the character that whispered your friend? That would make this easier to clear up. =)

Are you sure about that, Purpose? I do not see a level 1 character by that name on that realm. In addition, I do not see anyone contacting your friend and saying those things; I do, however, see your friend saying them in chat to you.

As of this moment, it looks more like your friend was playing around. =/

The warrior resurrected?

Are you sure that the Druid didn't at some point resurrect him, and then he just waited for the most opportune time to accept it?

Q u o t e:
You notice how theres no blue tag?

It's not a game master.

Aye. At the worst, it's a player pretending to be a Game Master; however, that is definitely not something that we tolerate as it can lead to situations such as this.

Purpose, please have your friend submit an in-game petition regarding the matter and our staff will investigate the issue accordingly.
