Look at the other info.
If it was Ratchet I might be more inclined to buy it on the argument that it’s a hub for moving around Kalimdor (cities & level-approp zones) as well as the boat, but Xroads + SoS is an unusal data set, and intent becomes the more likely explanation than “Haven’t updated my hearth in 20 levels.”
Not unusual at all, you can get rend buff drops in XR, you can’t in ratchet. It also gives access to BB, which you are leveling in around 35-45. You just lack imagination and game knowledge, along with specific knowledge of this situation.
Courts have the rules they do for a reason. Because the propensity of people to engage in witch hunts, rushes to judgement, making things up, and ignorantly making baseless conclusions is well known and universal. This isn’t a court but there is zero useful information here and zero reason to conclude anything.
why defend griefers?
Again, present your evidence of this, as opposed to someone accidentally hearthing. People suddenly hearth to XR/Org all the time for rend buffs because they see it coming in the chat, it is not at all unusual.
You are much more clearly “griefing” by rushing to condemn someone for a situation you know nothing about.
To be fair I hearth in Menethil because its a travel hub. There are any number of reasons someone would hearth in xroads.
Without being able to establish that theyre intentionally griefing it shouldn’t be considered as such. If the person was streaming and laughing, sending whispers etc that could demonstrate that then sure. Otherwise we just don’t know for sure. It sucks and I would be irritated if it was me, and it would be nice if blizz changed this mechanic but so it goes.
Griefers would be more likely to hearth to major cities to kill bank alts.
I have my hearth set to XRoads for some characters well into the 50s.
Not so much intentionally and more so because I just forget it’s even still set there until I load in at the inn.
And I’d have to agree that unless it was explicitly stated in any of the chat channels, there’s no way to prove it’s an intentional grief even though it very well may be.
I also wouldn’t call it a bug. The debuff is doing exactly what it says it’s going to do. It’s very much working as intended. Lower level players getting attacked/killed is just a by-product of that.
This is what my deathlog shows, all the deaths are level 10 or under.
The Durotar ones are suspect. it would be hard to prove griefing though.
I spotted your problem.
As usual, the trolls come out in force to defend their brethren. Yeah, it’s obviously a grief. More good will come of making an example out of the perpetrator than sparing them because of the extremely slim chance they didn’t do it on purpose. Whether it’s a bug or an oversight is splitting hairs. It’s obvious it isn’t intended, which is made clear by them not allowing elites to be kited outside their zone. Leaving stuff like this in the game is harmful for the health of the game mode. As is leaving those who do this kind of thing unpunished.
lol
Would a hug help, friend?
So you don’t deny it. And no, that would be disgusting.
Grief boils down to intent. They aren’t punishing people for bad or unintentional play. As unlikely as it is it’s still plausible for someone to poorly time their hearth. That being said the condition to pull this kind of thing off is extraordinarily suspicious so I understand the desire to assume it’s intentional and thus grief.
I don’t know how these mobs interact. Do they go on the player they are summoned to, or target the closest? Was the person who did it a rogue/hunter who vanished/FD’d and then watched the ensuing chaos? Did he run out the inn right as it spawned, leave, and never even knew it was there?
These are the kind of questions you have to get answered before deciding, and I assume Blizzard is rather conservative in dolling out bans without being able to verify. Chances are they can, and if they could see that he did something like FD off the bat and let the mob run wild that’d be good enough evidence for me.
I’m a total carebear ingame.
Your loss.
Whether that is true or not doesn’t change that you are a total troll on the forums, and never deny it when someone accuses you of it. You obviously delight in provoking others, it’s just that your preferred arena for doing so is the forums. As such, nothing changes about what I said.
As for the others who are defending the griefer, they either so heavily prioritize their own safety over others that they will gladly tolerate lowbies being constantly griefed like this, or they feel an affinity with the griefer and therefore defend them.
No, it wouldn’t be good enough evidence. If someone hearths and something is randomly hitting them in the inn unexpectedly one of the first things a normal person would do is immediately FD/vanish/blink/etc.
Name calling is inappropriate.
Please, let us keep the forums civil.
Or you’re just rushing to judgement about a situation you weren’t present at and know nothing about when it’s entirely plausible that someone just hearthed to get a rend buff or for any other reason and didn’t realize they had a 1 minute long debuff on them that they’ve never seen before.
If you have more information, show it. Otherwise you’re just being ridiculous online trying to virtue signal.
You seem upset.
Poor dude doesn’t even like hugs.
