You’re not wrong. But again, there is a clear difference here between an exploit such as the death-grip glitch - which was an unintended, unforseeable consequence and promptly patched out - versus MC, which has foreseeable, known uses which Blizzard has allowed to remain in Classic.
Temporarily is the key. It doesn’t remove them from the current battleground permanently. It doesn’t lock them out of all battlegrounds for 15 minutes.
They never said any about unforeseeable. Again, this is what they said when they announced the hot fix:
I’m having a hard time understanding how an action that was explicitly prevented in patch 1.9.3 was an intended design choice when implementing MC.
Locking someone out of all BGs for 15 minutes is clearly damaging their gameplay. If Blizzard didn’t see it that way, they wouldn’t have messed with vote kicks in BGs.
The player doing the mind controlling gets removed from the battle ground. If you cant force a flag drop by abusing/exploiting mind control - you shouldnt be allow to abuse/exploit a ‘something that shouldnt be happening’ on another player.
I might be wrong but has no one mentioned that this “NOT” only priest’s mind controlling people in to the portal and then canceling the mc when the player being mind controlled is in/next to the portal and getting instantly ported out. Just FYI most of the time it is an enemy player using a gnomish mind_control_cap that is an instant cast cannot be dispelled or intrupted, the person with the mind control cap then just walks in to the portal and waits for their mind controlled targets debuff to run out and then watchs them vanish in to the deserter debuff club. Lol, it’s horrible and bannable report a player for doing this every time. Also I do wish a fix to the portals was implemented e.g. Make the portal a have to click to exit or an option appear when entering it that says do you what to leave this battle ground “yes”… “no”. Easy fix???
Good luck trying to report them. The ticket system is a joke. It forces you to pick a category for your ticket, and then every link in those categories takes you to a forum page with zero helpful info. There is a report character button, but that takes you to a page that tells you to right click on their portrait and report them. Which is IMPOSSIBLE to do once you have been MC’d out of the instance.
MC a player out of BG
= 15 min ban for the player removed
-player gets no honor
-preventing a opposite faction player from getting honor
afk kicking a player
= 15 min ban for the player removed
-player gets no honor
-15 min less they can play and earn honor which mean more honor for you then, so a valid pvp action
auto squelching
-chat ban for a hour
-less thing they can do
-less gear they probably get since they cant talk
=less honor they get which mean higher rank for the person using the system to there advantage
They are putting a giant pillow at the base of the Lumber Mill cliffs in arathi basin, and making mind control and polymorph have a 30 second cooldown. You can also no longer fap or lip in bgs. #lottachanges
