God’s wrath falls upon thee.
LOL something like that
I cheated on my fitness test in the military, Bliz finally catch me!?
Probably not, but if you have exploited Magister’s Terrace lockout, you’re in for a trouble.
Let’s hope they do, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Define: exploited.
Using the game as is? They released the patch in this state. Until the issue a notice “this is an actionable offense” Bliz won’t do anything.
Everyone knows heroic dungeons have lockouts. Nobody was spamming H MGT yesterday without knowing what they were doing.
You new here?
think he means arena cheaters? or do blizz actually care about people running a dungeon
No, U?
This is Blizzards practice and it’s probably even stated somewhere here on the forums. Feel free to dig it up.

I also want to say that this snarky, tongue-in-cheek, i-know-you-know-im-full-of--but-you-cant-prove-it, insufferable smarmy is truly disgusting. No idea what gave your generation the idea that this is acceptable or smart but all it does is give away that you know what you’re doing is wrong, don’t care and you dare someone to call you on it.
That anger you carry isn’t healthy. Eat a Snickers maybe?

Huh? They don’t have to warn you that an exploit is an exploit before they do something about it. That would explicitly reward the first people to exploit, who would get warned without punishment.
We already have another example IN THIS XPAC of people being banned for exploiting the bugged quest in Ogri’la.
They released the patch in this state.
Did that matter for Ogri’la flasks?

You agree that you will not, in whole or in part or under any circumstances, do the following:

We’ve recently become aware of a bug that could be exploited to allow instanced encounters to be completed repeatedly. We have developed a fix for the issue, and we are in the process of deploying it worldwide. Realm restarts are scheduled for 3:00 a.m. PDT (6:00 a.m. EDT) in order to apply this fix. As soon as possible, we will identify those who knowingly abused this bug in exploitative manner. We will then take appropriate punitive measures. As a reminder, Blizzard’s End User License Agree…
Here, read it from the horse’s mouth.
They are not going to band for something that is not a forced exploit. The player did not make the lockout go away. Bliz didn’t add the lockout.

The Lockout is a common knowledge for everyone. Heroics can only be run once a day.
People who did it, have done several chained runs.
That means: People got exalted yesterday, got all exalted rewards, including the JC recipes, got trinkets, etc.
That is clearly the violation of the ToS that I’ve simply linked here:

They will remove the rewards and issue suspension whenever it fits.
If they don’t sanction these exploiters, they will keep sending a message that there is no punishment and the only thing that can get you actually suspended is being mean to others in game.
Technically the second they said “a hotfix is coming” is your warning to stop exploiting…
Just saying.
The player did not make the lockout go away. Bliz didn’t add the lockout.
The player didn’t make the flask quest bugged either. And yet… bans were handed out.
The line between “clever use of game mechanics” and “exploit” is wherever Blizzard decides it should be, and they can change their minds at any time, without warning players not to do something that is obviously not intended.
Also does anyone have any doubts that this guy was running H MGT on his main yesterday after this flaccid attempt at defending it? lol
Reality check hitting hard
It’s obviously unintended, it’s obviously a glitch, and the people who abused it were obviously exploiting said glitch for their own benefit. That’s pretty open and shut.
Nope, not this time.
