The Horde has that. Which makes it fine by Blizzard.

How on earth do you accidentally give Ivus, a boss that hasn’t changed since the beginning of time, a loot table that contains relevant epic gear? That’s one one hell of a bug…

Ivus is the NEW darkshore warfront world boss. it drops 385 loot and that includes 385 azerite gear which you can scrap for 35 titan residium. The exploit was being able to relog and repeatedly do the world quest for him for the azerite gear and scrap an infinite amount of 385 azerite gear.

What happened at the beginning of the xpac was unfair but so is your characterization the Horde abused the war front. People participated in content the way it was available. What a hateful attitude.

Agreed.
how is it the horde’s fault we killed stuff
Also that was a 1-time occurrence where horde were able to kill and loot something ONCE and it was entirely Blizzard’s fault that the bug took place and no exploitation was invloved.
This time you have to perform specific unusual actions in order to reset a world boss’s quest to repeatedly farm gear AND THEN scrap that gear for a currency in order to save up for max lvl azerite gear when the new raid tier unlocks which will have a drastic impact on the competitiveness of that tier.

Yes this the first time of me hearing about it but it does appear that there is actual abuse with this.
Exactly. Once is chance, twice coincidence, 3 times conspiracy.
And no I don’t actually expect them to break it for Alliance, as well, I expect them to remove the gear and titan residium. I don’t even care if they hour ban or whatever, just take away the rewards. Unlike Arathi, where they let them keep it.

The Darkshore world boss is Corrupted Ivus.
For Horde he is Ivus the Forest Lord, he doesn’t get corrupted until after the Forskaen do their thing, thus why Alliance also fight him.
They had a similar bug in Legion where you could do a WQ, log out, log back in and the WQ was reset. Those who took advantage of the bug (and I mean seriously took advantage of it, like farming it) WERE indeed punished.
So a bug from a PREVIOUS expansion surfaces again. That doesn’t speak well for their QA team.

Just to follow up - we needed to get some extra data together to do it properly, but yes, we’ll be removing the items gained and issuing suspensions for those who abused this bug (with an increasing penalty based on how excessive the abuse was). The reason it’s taken an extra few days is that we needed to make sure we were also cleaning up any extra Titan Residuum gained from this.

Why was I able to use my bonus rolls multiple times on this boss as normal on my horde but I’ve killed it yesterday and again today on my alliance and was not able to bonus roll?
only 1 of my 2 alliance chars got option to bonus roll on first kill (both had seals). it’s pretty buggy in that regard

Same deal here. Highly disappointing. Had this happen early on in BfA with world bosses too.
Really getting tired of things like this happening.

Imagine punishing your customers for your own mistakes.

Will you also be banning people who just got to bonus roll a few times? Sometimes you can rekill stuff to throw another coin at it.
If so, that’s awesome to know I’m about to be suspended for wasting coins on something I thought was intentional.

Imagine an ATM machine giving out $100’s instead of $20’s. Hit that ATM once, the police will go easy on you and ask for the money back. Exploit it for a month, tell your friends, and the police won’t quite be so forgiving.

Cause that never happens. Atm starts spitting out money just grab as much of it s you can, Banks mistake right? Store doesn’t put a security tag on something must mean you can walk out with it, stores mistake right?
this makes perfect sense, people know this is not supposed to be a thing and only the ones that went and did it anyway to cheat the system are going to get punished, as they should be for being cheaters.
