"Sp-eye-glass" (toy) - Gives permanent Spectral Sight. Allowed to be exploited? How is this a thing?

Can someone please explain to me how using this item/toy in PvP (World PvP, Random BG’s, and even Rated Arena’s & BG’s) Isn’t a game breaking exploit…?

This item has no cool down and is like having a permanent Spectral Sight… How is this even remotely fair to Rogues or Druids?

This is game breaking, and should be removed from the game. And in my opinion, anyone caught exploiting this item should be ban for exploiting.

I had a player named Composter-EmeraldDream exploit this item as recently as last night to make up for his lack of PvP skill… This needs to stop!

Blizzard, Please put a stop to this game breaking nonsense.

Thanks

/end rant

PS: I provided links to the item on WoWHead and to a video showing how people are using this to permanently see stealth players, however Blizzard won’t allow me to share those links on this forum. A quick Google / Duckduckgo search will show you the item in question & how people are using it to cheat at PvP.

If it works to detect players in stealth, then yeah, that’s not cool.

But using an item is hardly exploiting. If it’s working in areas or conditions it shouldn’t, that’s a bug. You don’t ban people for using items that for all anyone else knows, are working as intended.

You don’t punish the player for blizzard’s mistakes, unless it’s blatantly obvious that it working is unintended (like if it worked in rated content).

Also have no idea what you’re thinking posting here is going to solve. If anything, you’ve just made several other people aware of it who are going to now abuse it even more.

Put in a bug report next time.

its only worked for well since last expansion. lololo

it does not work in arena or rbg’s.

its not perfect. it obscures your view… now once you figure out for it to not obsure your view, then youre on par with me… which no one is. ever.

“Once you figure it out.” It takes 10 seconds on google to find a camera positioning macro.

Ahh, this will make a great replacement for my Orb of Revelation. Good find.

Cant be used in Arena. Not sure about RBG’s yet

edit: cant be used in Battleground Blitz, it gives the error that it cant be used in Rated Battlegrounds. That leads me to believe this cant be used in RBG’s either. Where did you get that it could be used in rated???

Thanks for the heads up. It appears it’s been hot fixed for rated PvP back in Shadowlands. I missed that the first time around.

Still an unfair advantage for a toy though. At the very least they could add a long cooldown to it….

No because world PVP on Emerald Dream is dead.

no… lol… you amplify it. you move camera, you lose the effect that way… my trick does not break the viewpoint. it zooms all the way out… lol

This thing is awesome. Def a rogue thing. More rogues need survivor’s bag of coins too. Now that flying is allowed on dragon isles, more uses for wpvp.

I remember you!

You may not realize this, but I have feelings. And that strongly worded letter that I woke up to in my mailbox the next day, hurt them.

Your “trick” is just to use the sp-eye-glass toy and to do a /reload. It brings the camera all the way out while still using the toy

Wrong, I wouldn’t waste a stamp on you :wink:

But I did stick a flag pole on your corpse yesterday…

Until next time cupcake :kissing_heart:
