Not sure if this is an exploit but people are pulling high level mobs to guards and getting the loot. Is this is an exploit?
No, it’s not an exploit.

Has blizzard publicly stated this? Cause if so I guess it’s time to farm silithus trash
People been using the guards at Splintertree to kill Sharptalon since the days of old.
Yeah, the Silithus Cenarion guards are an issue, but it’s part of the WoW jank.

you still have to do more damage to the mob than any of the NPC guards do to get any loot. You going to Silithus to farm trash mobs there won’t work because you will do no damage and get no credit for the mob kill or loot

hmm I saw groups of level 25 hunters using the silithus guard to kill mobs. They must be doing enough damage to get the loot from the guard kills?
This is normal… Welcome to World of Warcraft.
always been allowed.
no, its not an exploit. the gaming is operating as intended.
An exploit is when actively abuse the games system for a Very large reward.
Like when:
TBC prepatch Horde AV boss had 1/8 of his health compared to the Ally bosses, and you could solo him in a minute with just 5 people.
forced loosing in BG’s as alliance because they had instant Que times for a free mark, compared to Horde having to wait an hour for a que time and instantly winning.
Trigger a raid boss to do 0 mechanics to get Free loot.
I thought you still had to do a majority of the damage in order to get xp and loot. That’s how it is with the Southshore guards killing those assassins.

not an exploit, has been a thing since forever. guards are there to help you out afterall.
There’s a regular on these forums who has been actioned twice, that I know of, for exploiting systems for silver.
I’m not sure how this works since you need to do at least 50% of the damage to get loot/xp.
And there is the bug, cause no right now in Silithus you dont have to do more.

I would consider that abusing a bug as they are knowingly kiting these specific mobs to the guards with the knowledge that they will get full loot regardless of how much damage they do, but the typical scenario where you “earn” the loot by doing more damage than any of the guards is fine.

Be in a group and deal at least 1 damage to the target. Gaurd kills it. Profit.
So then this is not an exploit of intended game mechanics, it’s exploiting a bug.
I did this back in vanilla. This is just how the game be.
Nope. Its how group loot works. Someone in the group gets the tag and it dies, and it drops loot.
