Alliance players are abusing some kind of DC mechanic to teleport when they are about to die in Wpvp

3 Alliance players are abusing some kind of mechanic I have never seen in 20 years of this game. Basically when they are about to die, they DC (I think) so that they take no further damage and they stand still running in place. They then suddenly teleport 500yds away and heal themselves up. They have also completely disspeared a few times. I thought this was some kind of arena Q abuse but after the 11th or so time there is no way they would have a debuff. They are doing this when they are about to die. I have multiple Shadowplays of it I will upload it

Some dudes are so afraid of losing a video game fight, they will cheat.

If you think these players are cheating, and you have videos and names and times and all that, bundle it up and send it into hacks@blizzard.com

It’s a lame reason to lose an account, but people do lame things sometimes.

Also, make certain to right click report them in game for cheating when you see this. This collects very good data the hacks teams uses to hammer.

Do this every single time you see it. Keep a record when sending it in with past stuff too. etc

Good luck!

I reported him but I think its a bug being abused not cheating. Either way should be bannable. Here is a quick video example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjcma3SPm-A

Send it into hacks@blizzard.com so they can get it closed if it is a bug. Abusing a bug is cheating and Blizz has very little tolerance for that.

Done thanks for the email

You can’t take and leave a Q 11 times in under 10 minutes they would have some kind of debuff, they were doing it literally every single time they were about to die over and over

Someone said they go on that person faction and keep inviting them to a group so they can’t take the queue. I’m going to try that today because if that works that’s hilarious

I saw this happen a lot while ganking horde a few weeks back. Haven’t seen it much lately. Interesting to know it’s follower dungeons.

I always feel bad when the BG queue pop and I’m in the middle of fighting, so there are some normal use cases for saying “sorry world pvp, good-bye”, but yeah this seems like abuse

Experienced this many times. I suspect it is layering. They just get someone on another layer to invite them and transfer.

Video that I compiled in SL of examples.

It is an epidemic really, nothing like how the game used to be at all even on Classic realms since they use layering too, but still rare enough for me to not quit over.
