Why is it that people tend to leave their character all smothered over NPC's? Whether its a BG NPC our an auctioneer I constantly find people in my clicky way.
Stop humping NPC's, please for the childrens.
*Disclaimer: Yes this is not important as a topic and the forum police are sure to be offended. However I just wonder if I am the only one who this little thing bothers or if maybe I'm just a bit nuts.

Humping NPC'sFollow
I agree it bothers me as well. Mainly because they force me to actually move my mouse around clicking till I can get it on a piece of the NPC.
I agree it's annoying. It mostly seems to happen with Bankers and Auctioneers. The main city mailboxes often get obscured as well.
I have noticed that some cities have these NPCs in positions that make it harder to 'hump' them such as placing them up above the floor level or placing them behind some sort of structure.
I really don't think most people do it on purpose though - they just stand where they land and do their business and either move on, log out or go afk. LoL
I am not offended. I am amused by the expression as I had not thought of the NPCs as being 'humped' when I see that. :)

This made me laugh out loud, seriously! I yell at my husband, whose computer desk is next to mine, ALL THE TIME when we play together about this. Yes, two of his mains are male Taurens and whether it is the flightmaster or quest person or on top of a dead mob, he always seems to stop right on top of them!! It drives me up the wall when I have to tell him over and over!
However...
where we are "in game" is not always where we seem, so perhaps to the other people don't seem to them to be where you see them. I've watched our characters from both computers and it is strange to see where we are on mine, then where we are on his.
But I can say that I somehow always seem to make a consious effort to stand a few feet away from the vendors or such when I stop at them-just because I know about the problem!

I takes what I can gets.

But I hear a tale
About a heaven in Alberta
Where they've got all hell for a basement"

The polite tone of the AP implies that he plays Alliance and never saw a mounted Tauren high on Firewater :)
Someone mounted their kodo right on top of the Orgrimmar mailbox and went AFK there. It took some work to find a corner poking out that I could click on. I almost had the urge to write that guy a parking ticket, it was most definitely on purpose.

The game runs on XML, which is probably the problem with the "You are not facing in the correct direction" bug. It's basically just pulsing out where you are every few seconds.
I laughed at just seeing the title before I even logged in.
I laughed even more at Iamadam's comment.
But yes I've seen it, yes I've done it. I'm alliance though so no need to worry about the big bulls.

When I read the post title I thought it was about druids in cat form repeatedly sitting and standing on fallen/dead characters. It’s amazing how obscene it looks. It’s also funny, but still…
This is why hunter pets shrink. A lot of players thought it was funny in beta to have their gigantic pets obscure NPCs.

The men use the kodo for going into towm, Lieutenent.

There's at least one Horde guild on my server that delights in frustrating the Alliance by gathering around/on top of the Blood Elf that ports you to MC. Trying to find the chat bubble when you have ten Tauren standing in that tiny room is one of the biggest challenges in the game. Grr.

Just jump out of the window ;)

You mean nekkid, for a lava death + corpse run entry? That could work...good suggestion!
(If that's what you meant...)
That's what he meant. The window is the main portal into MC. The only way they added the portal through the chat window is to help people with lag issues from actually reaching the lava.

Nope if you jump out of the window youll get transported to MC, its the old fashioned way.
You can also use that to jump into tha lava just behind the fisrt pillar when you enter BRM "thorium point side". So you dont have to walk to the bottom.

Ooh, I never knew that. Thanks for the info!

Mm, I'm dubious about doing that. I seem to miss and suicide more often than most people.
if you let yourself drop down at the left side of the bridge you have no fall damage, then you can swim towards the window you take about 1.5k damage (jump while swimming). Its easy.
If you jump out of the window the first time youll see how it works.
I play on a PvP server so for me it is actually the safest way to get into MC that way. BRM is always littered with skeletons, 24/7.
