Cenarion Hold on my realm is frequently camped with people hiding in the safe spot at the inn, killing anyone in range.
-The guards won’t attack you if you’re standing in the right spot
-If you retaliate against the person who is safespotting, the guards will kill YOU instead, but won’t touch the aggressor
-From the safe spot, attackers can kill people as they hearth in, potentially before they can move to safety.
-They can also hit people who are trying to interact with the blacksmith to sell loot or repair.
Despite my reports, I continue to see the same individuals doing this, day after day. I would love to have a pvp solution to this pvp problem, but I cannot fight back, because the guards will mince me.
Is this form of safespotting considered cheating? Should I even bother reporting it?
you can stand on the same spot as them and attack em. It works as meele as well as caster. All you have to do is not move until you are out of combat and the guards will not attack you either.
This PvP problem requires a pvp solution.
On a serious note I really doubt they will fix the guards. They have not fixed the guards in Tanaris or BB so I doubt they will fix the cenarion hold elites. The bug where you get ported into the hold mid pvp encounter only to drop all aggro completely is also still in game. And I do not think they will ban anyone. Its not terrain abusing its the guards behaving weirdly.
I’m amazed at the creativity, and dedication needed to be a jerk in classic Wow. Reminds me of the old Beetle Bailey cartoons, in which Beetle worked hard at not working.
I don’t know if it’ll do any good to report it. Might as well, though.

I’m not absolutely positive, but I do not believe taking advantage of a safe spot like this is against the rules as in the player doing it won’t be actioned, however, if enough people report it Blizzard will take action by fixing the safe spot.
In the past, people have been teleported off the arena roof in Gadgetzan and told to knock it off, but that was months ago.
It absolutely is and was a big deal back in vanilla. However, I think Classic is managed by two people IRL and one of them is part time… so nothing will ever happen to them.

They’ll probably just wave it off as “Pvp server, pvp solution.” If they can use it, so can you. Get there yourself and clear them out.
The only safe spotting they seem to be against is in Battlegrounds.
The infernal griefing in Cenarion Hold is still alive and well.
The Horde frequently safespot in Booty Bay to kill people. Not that it matters, Horde have a teleporter they can use to escape the guards which lets them kill anybody freely because every aspect of this game is Horde favored.

This is against the rules and can be reported.

The only safe spots allowed are your capital cities and low level zones.
Yes, report it. It’s blatantly obvious that you aren’t supposed to be able to attack people without drawing guard aggro in CH.

I did not know that.
I’ve reported the same mage for several days that keeps killing people while they repair. They stand in the Inn and here the guards don’t attack.
I once healed someone that was hit and the guards killed us both but not the Mage.
I guess my Druid will stealth up there and give that Mage a big kiss before slapping them around.
Thank you for that.

I report the RMT farmers using the pillars in frostwhisper gorge all the time and they go away and a week later a different one is there about the time I get the email from blizzard about taking action on accounts…
Nobody questioning your story, but I myself never received one email ever, and i assume others do not either.
Its the same with the bug sections on forums for new games. People claim they have certain bugs, and then others come in and say: Well i never had an issue… Just do not be one of the guys claiming just because you never experienced any issues, they are not there.
I report every bot I see and get 1-2 in game emails every week saying they took actions against accounts. So have MANY people in these forums.
Where’s a link to that info? would like to know that for sure
Would be nice to have confirmation anyone is working on it
