A month from now, nobody will care how long it took you to get to 60. You should worry less about what other people are doing and just enjoy the game at your own pace.
I agree this layering abuse shouldn’t stand however, just no reason to get upset over it, what is the guy going to do? sit around by himself with nobody to play with for weeks?
Doesn’t really matter what you call it. It’s part of the game as blizzard designed it, it’s not a bug, it’s working as intended, he is making the most of it.
In my opinion, he just took advantage of a system that was designed for something other than what he was using it.
This could have been fixed and Blizzard should have known.
I don’t think he deserves a ban however, it’s not a vanilla mechanic so put an asterisk next to his name.
The first to 60 without doing this is who should be recognized.
He should’ve been using dial-up if he really wanted to prove he could do it vanilla style. Let’s be real, world first attempts have never in the history of ever been influenced by out-of-game events [in my perfect imagining].
It doesn’t really bother me, but for what it’s worth Blizzard has banned players for exploits that don’t technically break the rules before. They don’t even really have a rulebook when it comes to exploits.
That said, if they considered this an exploit they probably would have mentioned it at some point before launch.
I never understood the fascination with watching people play the game. If I want to see some idiot playing a video game I’ll put a mirror on top of my monitor.
