This will be quite easy. An exploit is an unintended method of bypassing a restriction of the game. Knowing that, notice that there are no guards on the boats/zeps, nor any restrictions what so ever to stop you from attacking people on them. Thus, it’s not an exploit. Even in areas WITH guards, it’s not an exploit to attack enemy players. You’re still able to do so. There’s just a risk involved. Fyi, this isn’t just horde, nor boats. EITHER faction can kill people on boats AND zeps.
Compare this to multiboxing, which IS an exploit. 1 account doesn’t allow you to log in several characters at once. That’s a RESTRICTION, which you are BYPASSING by boxing several accounts. See the difference now? In reality there’s almost no exploits in this game. There’s mountains you can climb to get to areas you shouldn’t, including in BGs, but they probably don’t care if you do it.
If Blizzard didn’t want you to attack enemy players in an area, then they’d make you invulnerable or untargetable.
No it’s not. Blizzard’s official stance on it is it breaks zero rules. You also run multiple accounts and instances of WoW.
Safespotting (Gadgetzan roof for example) is an exploit and is not allowed. They’re technically targetable and killable, but guards will attack anyone retaliating.
I already explained how multiboxing is an exploit. There’s no disputing it. The fact that Blizzard allows it is irrelevant (and bad in my opinion).
I didn’t even mention safespotting on roofs. You’re arguing something totally irrelevant from what I said (again).
In reality, there’s almost no exploits in this game. People wildly throw the term around without really knowing what it means. To put it as simply as possible, it is an unintended way of bypassing a restriction in the game to do something you clearly weren’t meant to do. Write that down if you need to.
No, you showed you don’t actually know what you’re talking about. Yes, one account can only have one instance of WoW active at any one time - but Blizzard doesn’t care if one individual runs multiple accounts at the same time. That in itself is not against the ToS. If it was automated it would be (which is botting), but multiboxing has to have a player at the controls in order for it to work.
It’s not an exploit in the slightest.
No, but you ignored safespotting when suggesting they’d make you invulnerable/untargetable if Blizzard didn’t want you attacking other people. This doesn’t happen with safespotting, but safespotting is an exploit. By Blizzard’s own words. Blizzard is fine if you want to attack people in Gadgetzan, but they are not fine with you using an exploit to bypass guard mechanics.
You are basically saying, “What I say is correct, and Blizzard’s official stance is irrelevant”.
If I remember correctly, you wouldn’t get an instant revive if you died on the boat in vanilla. I think you teleported to the graveyard on the side that you died. Right now if you don’t leave your corpse, you come back full health and NEVER have to leave the boat.
If they would make it so if you died on the boat you were forced to spirit rez like the old days then this problem would clean up immediately. You could kill a few of them and they would have to take spirit rez and be easier to kill again, and also have a repair bill.
I remember being ganked on a boat and sighing, expecting to have to spirit res on the other side… but then suddenly I was full health on the other side. I was very confused.
He used to take screenshots of the tells he got on his website.
If I remember correctly about half of them were people yelling at him about getting ganked and the other half were Alliance begging him to kill guild mates they didn’t like.
Here’s what I’m confused about. What’s stopping anyone from releasing and taking resurrection sickness right now? Seems to me like opting to stay dead on the boat is basically giving out free HKs, especially if you know what’s going to happen.
Uh huh. Blizzard bans for exploits - they don’t pick and choose. If they say something is an exploit, it’s an exploit. They’ve banned people for harmless exploring as well because it abuses exploits.
Multiboxing is allowed. Boat griefing is allowed (at the moment anyway). Safespot abusing is not allowed. You can kick and scream all you want, but your arbitrary personal interpretation of something is irrelevant.
The point is that they kill the Horde, they stay dead on the boat and resurrect on the other side - so it’s very hard to move them off the boat.
Picking and choosing is EXACTLY what they do. (Unless you’re saying someone else wrote their rules, not them, lawl?) You seem to make a habit of making things up, but I will not keep repeating myself.
Yes, and if intended vanilla behavior is releasing you to the graveyard on the side you died, forcing you to take resurrection sickness, clicking release spirit and accepting a spirit healer res would functionally be the same thing. Staying on the boat knowing you will res on the other side is basically handing out an HK with your name on it.
I’m talking about booting the horde off the boat. They get free reign over our cross continent travel because its in a contested zone with useless guards and the get free revives so no need to leave.
I can get somewhere with a spirit rez, but this shouldn’t be happening. They have no reason to leave the boat if they are farming HKs, and don’t have to leave the boat if we do manage to kill them. They just revive with full health again. The can continue with no repair bill, and no incentive to leave until their mom tells them its bed time.
You should be able to kill one or two and force a spirit rez or a half health revive. Not endless free lives with no incentive to leave the free farming choke point.
Just because you say multiboxing is an exploit doesn’t mean it is. Blizzard doesn’t care if one person pilots two accounts. They do, however, care about account sharing - likely due to primarily the money aspect, and secondarily the possibility of compromising the account.
It’s kind of funny that you’re acting as if your opinion is somehow worth more than mine and that it means anything to Blizzard.
No, Haunter. It’s the fact the Horde players stay on the boat and can basically control it since they automatically resurrect. That’s the problem, not that Alliance players are stuck on the boat.
I mean all I can really say to that is until they address it, if they address it, just get a bigger group. That’s what’s been working for me so far. On whitemane, the theramore boat is just as big of a pvp hotspot as hillsbrad.
Sincere apologies if you’re on one of the two 9:1 ratio servers tho
