I know, I was being sarcastic. Apologies.
No they weren’t.
It was a 72 hour ban, and at the time, they didn’t know that it was a glitch.
Now you are arguing terminology. Using glitches to one’s advantage is the literal definition of exploiting
I’m starting to think that you don’t understand the meaning of the word exploit
Enlighten me then
yea i wouldn’t call the warlock thing an “exploit” exploit since it’s just accomplishing what a shroud or invis pot would do in the same circumstance
not in the same vein as rebuilding the LK platform or stacking dmg buffs to one shot a mythic boss.
No I am being very consistent in my terminology because mine follows the terms of service. If you’re calling something an exploit you’re alleging that people were exploiting flaws in the software. That is simply not the case here.
An exploit is as I’ve said, using a flaw in the software to gain unauthorized access or advantage. This is actually defined in the TOS and the EULA as well as in the law.
The term you’re probably looking for is Unintended use
I’m being very specific here because there are legal and financial consequences to an exploit. Whereas an unintended use is just not something the developer desired.
In video games, an exploit is the use of a bug or glitches, game system, rates, hit boxes, speed or level design etc. by a player to their advantage in a manner not intended by the game’s designers.

EG: Glitching out of bounds in a BG and using it to your advantage to get HK’s while the enemy can’t target you.
Sure sounds like an exploit to me
Is the part the matters, remember that wikipedia is written by non-experts. For the purposes of this dicussion Exploits are defined by the EULA:
cheats; i.e. methods not expressly authorized by Blizzard, influencing and/or facilitating the gameplay, including exploits of any in-game bugs, and thereby granting you and/or any other user an advantage over other players not using such methods;
Using a warlock gate as intended, is not a cheat or an exploit. It use using the mechanics of the game. The developers cleared decided that they wished to change how the use was in these very specific cases by creating artificial line of sight limitations. If a warlock were to somehow work around that by finding a gap in the walls that is an exploit. But just using the gate to skip trash is not an exploit.
I will not be responding further if you feel this was an exploit please email hacks@blizzard.com and report it appropriately.
The intended use of a warlock gate is not to transport your group through a wall because of bad line of sight detection
You won’t be responding further because you don’t want to incriminate yourself for exploiting by using warlock portal in an unintended way. I already said I don’t care if you use it to skip trash by going up a hill or crossing a gap but when you use it to literally go through walls that no other class can go through (like in SoB or AD) then you are exploiting. It’s black and white

you are wrong and cant let go and on DH exploits go watch the entire hivemind DH video and tell me why double jump shouldnt be removed?

The exploit should be removed not the ability. Just because you don’t like what I said doesn’t make it wrong. I was in favor of them removing the DH swap blaster skips in legion m+ because it set a precedent that you had to bring a DH and that DH had to have swap blasters.

These fixes are Blizzards attempt to try and make dungeons less class dependant. This is just like the change to underrot that made the mobs at the start see stealth.
Agreed, I expect they’ll do similar to the trash at the beginning of freehold by adding true-sight to the enforcers. The entire point of the changes seems to be to shake up the metas.

NO the ability just on your toon because you think you are right… The lock portal was no different than the use of double jump now please get off your high horse…
And how is it a exploit if the ability is working as intended?
The last time I checked my double jump did not enable my entire group to go through a wall but keep thinking that you are right

Warlocks skips are not “clever use of mechanics”, they are by all means exploits. Your intended to use the paths designed by devs.
