After doing Operation:Gnomeregan, I decided I'd go on my horde and do Zalazane's Fall, but thanks to people in Illidian, thats not possible!! They are all mounted covering all the quest givers in Sen'Jin and taunting us by spamming that they will share the quest for 50g and other ridiculous things like that! We need a GM to do something about this and either move them or temporarily suspend them because I'm really annoyed by this.

As others have suggested, this is something that is possible to be bypassed by other in game means.

    - You can zoom into first person mode and look for the troll NPC you are trying to speak with.
    - You can type /target followed by the name of the NPC to lock onto them.
    - You can hit Shift-V or Control-V to bring up the name plates for all characters. You should be able to right click on that name plate to speak with that NPC.


However, if you do see any continued violations of our policies, please do report them, and a Game Master will be happy to review the situation as soon as possible. =)

We neither ignore nor condone these actions, Kroden. Obstructing an NPC is a violation of our terms.

Q u o t e:
Zone/Area Disruption
This category includes language and/or actions intended to disturb groups of players or areas of the world, such as:

* Disruption of player sponsored events or gatherings
* Excessive use of in-game sounds or visuals
* Excessively casting spells with noticeable effects in crowded areas
* Impeding or blocking access to an NPC, doodad, doorway, or any other area of the world that a player would normally be able to access


As found on our Harassment Policy page:
http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/20226

That being said, our queue times are a bit long. We recognize that, and we are working on lowering them as quickly as possible. But I do feel it is best that, in the mean time, we offer you some alternative ways to interact with the NPCs while our Game Masters are investigating.

Unfortunately, these things can be more difficult than you might expect, Mauserd. It certainly sounds simple in concept, but not all things that sound simple end up being so when we look to implement them.

You are more than welcome to share your thoughts in our Suggestion Forum, as those with the power to put in those abilities read that forum regularly. In the mean time, we ask that you continue to report those offenders to us, while utilizing the work-arounds we are able to provide. We can discourage this kind of behavior with your help. =)
