Everyone kept their Gold, EXP, and Items from the EXP exploit, I Don’t see how this will be any different. IF you find an exploit, just make sure you take advantage of it early, and then tell everyone else about it so they do it and you have cushion to not get banned for it, seems like what is happening. (Get as many people as you can involved in the exploit so you keep all your cheated stuff.)
They deserve nothing less than a ban.
Seriously though, whos bright idea was it to let this layering thing go on for so long? It should of been eradicated a few days after the chaotic launch.
DO AWAY WITH LAYERING!
Its killing the classic experience that we all know and love.
You know, except for the part where in the video they say it was layering they were abusing. Lol.
If streamers get 30 days for this it is a joke. This is incredibly damaging to the server economy.
why fix layering instead of removing it?
They can’t get rid of layering. They already went all in on it.
If they removed layering now, the queue times would be outrageous.
Get rid of layering.
It’s singlehandey wrecked a great idea in Classic.
Ban those who abused it.
I’m gonna keep playing because this IS my game, but this has seriously harshed my WoW buzz.
Layering made all of this BS possible, but the players can’t escape blame.
We fought hard for this game and some people just can’t help themselves.
Get rid of them.
Yeah - get rid of layering.
It’s awful.
Once again, thanks for listening and taking action!
You said rolling restarts, doesn’t mean take every server down for the entire hour… you start shutting some down restarting then do a cluster of others… I hope the game won’t be down for an entire hour or longer, rolling restarts= 15 min already been a half hour.
They will probably get 2 days suspend at the most, when the gear gained from the exploit would have taken months to get.
Perma-Ban, and delete toons. no exceptions
Truthfully they need to just start entire servers over… this has already broken the economy
Queue has nothing to do with layering. You sit in queue wether there is layering or not. Its just overcrowded zones and their crappy hardware probably that can not accomodate so many players in one zone.
You know what I would love? Banning multiboxing in Classic, now thats something I want to see.
Classic does need a re-release, one without all the cheating gained through exploiting bugs and people using them for an unfair advantage. Then they can have REAL world-firsts for classic.
Thanks for the update. Glad to see that justice will be done!
I feel inclined to this notion as well.
Great! Now go back and “fix” everyone that exploited dungeon-raid xp and layering to farm skin/herb/mine
Feedback: The punative measures had best be Brutal and public.
Especially for the streamers who somehow all got their bindings this week.
If you allow this to go with a slap on the wrist, that is not conducive to a community I, for one, want to be a part of.
You contradicted yourself in the same paragraph.
