Fix the AV druid exploit

Ah, thank you friend for the good explanation.

42

Most people go to AV to avoid PVP and just farm rep? Perhaps alliance should redirect the effort and teamwork they spend on exploiting to actual offensive tactics. They might actually win some.

43

Are you for real?

The problem is that these allies who are in these games now aren’t going to try. If you remove the rep grind they stop queueing. While this may make the ones who do queue more likely to try it will drive the horde queue times up significantly.

With there only being a few games up in the middle of the night right now it could also make it so no AV is running at all at certain points.

Just an FYI to all the losers in here condoning holding the druids. You can be reported for this and you will get suspended. I know personally of 1 warlock on my server who was banned for a week for exploiting the druids.

So keep that in mind every time you ruin AV.

Reported? Sure, people report for all sorts of silly things.

Suspended? Nope, doesn’t happen. I’ve held them a ton of times in order to release them with the riders and I’ve never heard a peep from Blizzard on it.

47

It does happen.
Just because it hasn’t happened to you yet doesn’t mean anything.

48

Me too. I’ve held them plenty of times…no issues here.

Just because you say it happened doesn’t mean anything.

You can keep holding them all you want.
I’m just here to warn you that you risk getting suspended.

At the end of the day it is an exploit and should be reported as such.

If you say so. Keep on reporting though. I wouldn’t want to deprive you of one of your favorite things to do.

You risk getting suspended from reporting too much too. So be careful!

You don’t if the reports are accurate.
Back when I cared and actually queued on AV weekend I talked to a few different GM’s in live chat and they confirmed it is an exploit and to keep reporting people who abuse it.

Mmmhmmm. Well you do your risky activity and I’ll do mine. Life is full of risks, right? Enjoy!

Mine has zero risk though, yours does.
Hopefully you’ll get suspended for it. Not like you’d come here and apologize for being wrong anyways.

56

I’d like to hear this story again actually. You tell it so well. I was on the edge of my seat. Tell me again about all the GM’s you’ve talked to. It’s my favorite part.

I’m ok with them fixing Druids if they re balance the map so horde and alliance meet in the centerfold the field, not at shgy.

Well, my girlfriend who lives in Canada told me that you only get banned if you do it on the last Tuesday of a month when Jupiter is aligned with Mars and the horned owl hoots thrice above a four-leaved clover.

It’s like you’re so daft that you can’t accept the fact that the ONLY reason I even contacted a few GM’s about it was to see if it was an exploit or not. To see if I should even bother reporting people.

Given the confirmation that it was indeed an exploit I continued to report people. The only other evidence I have is from a warlock who’s in a friends guild that was banned for a week for that very issue.

If it’s your prerogative to cheat then by all means go for it. Just don’t be surprised if one day you receive an email explaining why you were suspended for a week.

I thought we now spawned outside of the alliance cave? Was there a change?
