Blizz, why is there some exploits you don't care about/ban for?

[Sockfullafel-illidan]

They do care and do take action! In fact not long ago someone came to this forum complaining about their suspension. Well turned out they did something that got a lvl 85 with BFA gear onto a legion account.

That ban was overturned. I met the guy in game, and he posted an update in his thread.

That whole thing was so fishy.

[Banewulf-terokkar]

Allegedly. I know that it’s hard to believe, but people lie on the internet.

Only Blizzard and the account holder will ever know the truth.

Best not to spread rumours.

[Vorsol-thrall (Vorsol)]

Maybe they changed their minds on the suspension since the system let me transfer his toon to a lower account level that caused the situation he exploited. Either way doing something like he did is never a good idea, People will report things like that and when they investigate will stand out like a sore thumb.

I mean unless people are friends and see him online…

I get what they’re saying. I could be the one lying on the internet, not the OP of that thread.

Funny how he didn’t say that to the person I responded to though. Perhaps there is an agenda hidden behind his honest advice.

[Paants-lothar (Paants)]

Why are you posting about this again? That thread you hijacked yesterday on the exact same topic got locked so you decided to try again?

[Pepperpup-moon-guard (Pepperpup)]

Not a single one of them has been actioned against and the exploit hasn’t been fixed for the months it’s been used, and we’re just seeing more and more people exploiting it as a result of Blizzards inaction against it.

Well, to be fair, not one that you are aware of. I can’t speak to any actions that we may or may not have taken on those who may have used an exploit. What I can say is that in some situations, to echo what Leviathan mentioned, on issues that we may not have a fix, we’ll generally hold off on penalty until we do have a fix ready. I can’t say that will happen in the case you are referring to, but there may be a rude awakening at some point.

XP pots took far less time to fix and didn’t effect other peoples gameplay at all,

Entirely different issues. Some things have such simple resolutions that it is literally a matter of clicking a box, or changing a 2 to a 0 in a line of code. Other issues, may require a small feat of programming, or restructuring a fundamental feature in order to address the issue. Those kinds of changes can’t be done in a hotfix or a binary update, it requires extensive testing and must be included in a content patch.

Why is Blizzards actions so completely inconsistent, why is nothing being done and no blues posting about it?

I’ll answer the second part first… We, the collective Blue “We”, don’t generally post about potential exploits, especially if we don’t have an immediate resolution for them, to avoid attracting more people to try them out.

As for the inconsistency, we actually are extremely consistent based on the issue but you’d have to know the differences with those to have insight.

Sorry, since you’re allowing harassment and racism in this thread I find it hard to believe you action much. None the less, I’ve seen well over 20 people exploiting this to gain an advantage in PvP; I see it being abused in every single level bracket.

Just a tip, a certain twink warlock likes to say stuff that they would say towards black people as a result of the way you named Worgen and their connotations with the backwards spelling.

o.O

I don’t see either in this thread.

As to the rest of your post, there are no GMs on the forums. If you see someone breaking the rules in-game, you need to report them in-game.

I’m not sure what you’re hoping to accomplish here, but I can pretty much assure you that the best you’ll get is having this thread locked.

Where do you go when reporting them in-game doesn’t do anything, though?

[Kozzae-doomhammer (Kozzae)]

Where do you go when reporting them in-game doesn’t do anything, t

All you can do is report your suspicions, and Blizzard will investigate and decide on the penalty. There is no where else you really need to go.

Clearly there is, since the rules are not being enforced. Even Police have oversights.

This is a video game, not your local police department.

There is no alternative or escalation process. If you stuck around here long enough (or use the search feature) you’ll see plenty of posts where people come here trying to argue that their clearly inappropriate name was just funny/silly/meant something different/etc.

Report and move on.

You quoted it, but I think you missed it.

If this twink XP exploit is going to follow suit with the last two large exploits (repeatable 500 Timewarped Badge quest, and Draught of Ten Lands stacking), then the account actions will be handed out in a single wave after the exploit is fixed. Those found to have cheated will get what’s coming to them.

Our staff follows the policies and procedures they are required to, Pepperpup. The issue here is you believe they are not following it, or doing what you believe they should.

I understand your concerns, I do, but outside of using the right click report option there is really nothing more that you would be able to do here.

The fact that there’s no oversight tells me Blizzard doesn’t care either.

I mean, that’s fine. Blues admitting to wrongdoing and not taking action is enough evidence.

[Vrakthris]

Cute. No one is admitting to wrongdoing.

The fact that there’s no oversight tells me Blizzard doesn’t care either.

No one said there wasn’t oversight, I’m saying that our staff is doing exactly what it is supposed to do at this junction. I’m saying that your sight is extremely limited on what we are doing when it comes to addressing various bugs and exploits and that your idea of what should be done and on what timetable doesn’t necessarily match ours.

Also, for the love of my sanity, please stop reporting everything as trolling. I’m in this thread, you don’t need to call moderation attention to it. I’m not going to be deleting a post because someone is, well, the way they are. If they cross a line I’ll deal with it. Unless it is after hours, you are making me hunt down the report so I can claim it before a moderator has to do so.

Said with love, I do appreciate the efforts, but let’s save the reports for the truly worthy.

Negative ghostrider, the pattern is full

Where do you go when reporting them in-game doesn’t do anything, though?

Based on the above quote perhaps, just perhaps you are wrong?

Or wrong in that nothing is being done? Couldn’t hat at least be possible?

I mean calling out harassment and racism in this thread, because people do not agree with you, I tend to believe perhaps maybe there is a little too much emotion here.

This thread has run its course. It needs to be put to bed.

[Vorsol-thrall (Vorsol)]

Just because you believe someone is cheating does not make it so! They will not suspend or ban on your word!

Also if this is more then one person doing this they tend to get a whole bunch and do mass suspensions once they fix the exploit from happening again!

[Melaesia-proudmoore (Melaesia)]

Just a tip, a certain twink warlock likes to say stuff that they would say towards black people as a result of the way you named Worgen and their connotations with the backwards spelling.

Just to point out this little nugget. When you report them for this (and you ARE reporting them for this, right? Otherwise, nothing will get done), you may need to give a small explanation.

Quite frankly, I’ve played in this universe since well before WoW, and I honestly never saw that backwards spelling until you just brought it up. I like to think I’m pretty smart (as are the GMs who will handle the report), but that may need a little more explanation for them to see it.

They already crossed the line, and the fact you took no action is further evidence of you doing nothing about blatant rule breaking and needing oversight.

I’m not surprised though, you’re known for harassing people yourself; and breaking the rules. Because blues are ‘too good for rules’.
