Gonna need a source for that claim…
Going to need a source for ur claim that people intentionally bought the mount and knew this would happen little cry baby boy
benefitting from an unintended interaction is the very definition of an exploit
Wheres the source little cry baby boi?
no, you can’t “exploit” without intention. This is just a bug.

I’ve seen you take quite a few L’s today. Exploiting by definition is intentionally using a bug to your favor.
If I login today and there was a bug that selling starter gear glitched out and gave me 5k gold and I got this gold from selling my starter gear on a level 1 character I’m not exploiting anything.
If I then tell my friends about the glitch and we all continue to do it over and over and over again that is exploiting.

If you heard a random coworker out of a hundred got a windfall due to a computer glitch, and you were salty about it, that would make you a child.
It’s the definition of a bug, not an exploit, you moron. A bug you attempted to exploit, which makes your whinging all the more pitiful.
It was not reasonable. It was an obvious bug and attempting to replicate it was an attempt at exploiting.
been seeing a lot of posts on the epic riding thing. but i don’t understand how it’s considered an exploit. in vanilla WOW , PRE Pre-patch, you could get these mounts and could use them without purchasing 150 riding. if anything, i’d assume people should be trying to understand the change of requiring you to buy 150 riding for a mount that historically did not require 150 riding but was a ‘fast’ mount
That… is not correct.
Exploit simply means to take advantage of something. When used in IT terms, that is generally understood to be some system weakness.
Nobody took advantage of this. There was no intention.

I would report the coworker. Coworkers aren’t friends they are competition
An exploit does not require intention… If you actually knew anything about IT security you would know that
That is patently incorrect. As others have said, it’s the difference between an exploit (taking advantage of a vulnerability) and a bug (an unintended interaction).
You got me. BRB, burning all my Cisco and Linux certs.
Yes it does lol. That’s why exploiting a bug is bannable , but being apart of a bug isn’t. Unless these individuals knew buying the mount would net them free riding skill then they did nothing wrong. If u have proof that people had knowledge this would happen and exploited it please share. Otherwise nothing they did was wrong.
… you just proved yourself wrong by saying this and you don’t even know it lmao.
In IT security you have to worry about an exploit because…someone will intentionally use it to gain access.
If there was no one there trying to get into your system you wouldn’t ever have to worry about an exploit…because no one is (wait for it) exploiting it.
Yes, children are often petty due to their stunted emotional development.
Poor ppl problems. Just buy gold and forget about it.
In fairness, in IT security you need to worry about bugs, too. An unintended data leak can be just as damaging as an attack by a malicious actor.
But obviously, nobody was made worse off for this bug, and Blizzard is seemingly happy for those who benefited to retain their benefits.
I mean I was really just nailing down on the definition of exploit lol. I don’t even want to mention the word bug because that other guy is going to get confused because he apparently thinks they are both the same thing.
