I don't know if I'd like that, though. It would resolve the PvE/PvP exploit but would make Sheep hugely valuable in normal PvP. Nuke, nuke, nuke, sheep, rest, nuke, nuke, sheep, rest...
That would be pretty annoying.
Got another exploit out of those threads, too. Mind control. I'm attacking some Enclave, a Horde priest can mind control them and now I can't attack. Almost like a paladin invulnerability shield. 1v1 they can't keep doing it but group vs group they could play merry hell on your ability to keep enemies targeted. Not very practical, but there it is.
Best thing for Polymorph I think would simply be a 3 second delay between the time you sheep and the time the healing starts. If you tried to use it in PvP, the enemy could break it before the heal kicked in.
The PvE abuse is already limited by the fact that Horde and Alliance can't enter an instance together. I figure Blizzard probably doesn't care that much if people exploit places like Felwood with this trick. They won't be able to do it anywhere good, like BRS. In the end, you'd still be better off to have that enemy mage just delete his characters and reroll as a friendly priest. He'd accomplish the same function and be a hell of a lot more useful.
So GD and Enclave can have their gay little alliance. In the end, they're hurting each other more than helping. Instead of GD + 30 Horde friends it's going to be GD + 30 Enclave, and those Enclave are going to be useless. I think you'll see some of their members slipping out the back to find more advantageous guilds. WOW is more like EQ in terms of needing people. You can't just sign up to some funny forum guild if you want to be able to do anything at level 60.
