Meh.
You may dislike the event, because you're trying to level up/farm herbs/whatever.
You aren't taking into consideration that, unless you are on a brand new realm that isn't open for transfers, the vast majority of your realm are 70s.
70s who have been leveling, grinding, instancing, and raiding for god knows how long.
This event is amazing, simply because its so different.? It gives you something fresh and new to do, that has never been done before in game.? Hell, this is probably a first for any MMO.?
So revel in it now.? You can quest and grind and farm any time... but only for a 2-3 week period can you interact with storyline events and become a goddamn zombie and eat peoples brains.? Bitching about it because it interferes with your normal gaming just means you aren't paying attention to how fun it is, and how crazily different it is.? After you get 2 70s and a fuckton of alts, something like this is a blessing.
I guess that once your characters hit lvl 70 the whole game will get boring (I'm 65 now so I'll reach that mark soon). After all, what's left to do after you've finished the quests?
Theres lots of stuff. Arena and Raiding are the top two choices.
However... You really can't do either right now. Arena because classes are balanced around lvl 80, and because season 4 ended. Raiding because too many people took time off to wait for the xpac after 3.0 came out.
Its just a good time for a break, so people are fresh and ready for the xpac.
That isn't to say there isn't stuff to do... I pugged 7/9 of BT yesterday, for example.
BUT... The zombie event gives you a reason to log on. Its such a unique occurrence, that is so freaking fun, that it shakes up the day and gives you something new to do.
The second the plague rats became available back in booty bay in phase 1, me and a bunch of friends went and took over the Xroads, zombifying everyone. We then worked our way over to Thralls room, and had fun xploding everyone in there, infecting them all.
This was back when teh timer was at 10 minutes.
I was part of a raid that was attempting for a good 3 or 4 hours to down Sylvanas. We had around 40 zombies PC zombies, and around 20 NPC zombies, but too many horde played came down and owned us.
This was when the timer was at 5 minutes.
When the timer hit 2 minutes, being a zombie in a capital city became even more fun, because it became that much harder to avoid you. Just about 3-4 attacks ensured the guy you're attacking became a zombie, and then usually they'd just say 'fuck it', and start eating brains with you. Shattrath's east side, by the flight master, is just a huge pile of zombie bodies, as is Org out in front of the bank. If only Saurfang was there to defend it...
And now the timer is at 1 minute.
So stop grinding your levels or farming your herbs for the moment, take a look around, and have some fucking fun with it. Its worth it, and you should enjoy the change while it lasts.
