The guild APES is making waves again in WoW Classic. With a nasty trick, they trolled the server and made a resource completely unreachable.
In WoW Classic, the guild APES occasionally makes headlines. They were the ones who cleared the Molten Core first and defeated Onyxia within a few days, while Method and other professional guilds from Retail WoW were still leveling up. However, the guild appears to be up for other antics, as they recently played a prank in the Un’Goro Crater of the Gehennas realm.
What happened? Four mages and a druid from the guild APES went to the Un’Goro Crater. There, they “collected” the 4 Devilsaurs and dragged them all the way to the edge of the map, near the cliffs, without killing them. The Devilsaurs were then permanently affected by the mage spell Polymorph, causing them to be held in place as sheep. As a result, all Devilsaurs “vanished” from the crater, and players could no longer farm them.
What were the consequences? When other players began searching for the Devilsaurs, they consequently could not find them. Over time, more and more players gathered at the spawn points of the Saurians, but there was no respawn. No wonder, as the Saurians were still alive and “in combat”.
After some hours of waiting, players from other guilds began to search for the Saurians. They even roamed towards Silithus, exploring the caves of the Silithid, until finally someone noticed the sheep at the edge of the map.
The whole action lasted over 4 hours and cost several dozen players a lot of waiting time, many of whom surely asked themselves if this was just a bug.
Why are Devilsaurs so important? The leather from Devilsaurs is a coveted resource across all Classic realms. This is because the leather is needed for several crafting recipes that are especially desirable for rogues and warriors. Some of these items are even considered “Best in Slot” for a long time. Therefore, Devilsaurs leather sells well and is in high demand.
What do you think about this action? A funny little prank with a clever execution? Or malicious trolling to deny other players resources?
