woo go gnomes :smiley: :blush:

I’m interested to see if the community agrees that it’s legit. Word is, he was using layer hopping to avoid having to wait for respawns.

That’s exactly what he did, and honestly? I’m okay with it.

It’s really cool what he did.

Everyone else rushing it is probably doing the same thing.

And? Blizzard has banned people on retail for abusing an in game mechanic multiple times. Give them a bit to review and discuss how they feel about layer hopping to farm levels and they will determine if it is legit or bannable.

Layering invalidates all of this. I don’t care either way, but that’s just a fact.

It’s hard to appreciate this accomplishment knowing they abused layering to make it work.

Apparently he wants to delete the character but people keep sending him in-game mail and he can’t unless the mailbox is empty.

Not to downplay the usage of layering… But it’s a system blizzard put in place and it was used to gain an advantage.

In my opinion, methods “afk guy” is something i find ridiculous. Having someone go to all of their players keyboard and press jump every 20 minutes to avoid logging out is lol worthy.

The first gnome mage to hit 60 was like 15 years ago…

He’s gonna eat a ban, I think. Layer hopping is clearly an exploit. We’ll see. Blizzard needs to be clear.

Agreed, using an exploit to hit 60 is pretty much the same thing to me as the first guy that hit 80 back in Wrath by having people help kill a mob after he tagged it over and over. Others did the work and he got the credit. Blizzard took away his world first achieve and deleveled him back down when they found out about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did the same for this guy
