There are so many ways for players (namely druids) to take clearly unintended paths along WSG terrain.
-Essentially noclipping on a 90 degree angle on the far sides of the graveyard.
-Jumping up directly up to the graveyard from the base level.
-Hiding atop the giant stump in mid field.
-Hiding on near inaccessible support beams just before the balcony, above the entrance closest to the graveyard.
-Jumping through barriers above tunnels (one of the more tame and possibly fine ones)
I am sure there are others I missed. But uses of these ‘tactics’ coupled with the mobility of druids offers incredibly minimal counter play, if any. As a warrior especially, it is impossible to even attack druids that sit on the beam indoors by their balcony.
I mostly want to know if these questionable maneuvers are condoned and/or if reporting is a useful tool here or not. When something seems like cheating as plainly as these paths do, I’ll use the report tool. Reporting seems like my only option against these cheat-like behaviors. I don’t expect these issues to be rectified or even acknowledged, but saying nothing about exploits like this feels as bad as encountering them in game with no recourse.
Thank you for reading.
Special thanks to Zojak-Rattlegore for being one of 9000 druids to bring these issues to painfully obvious light.
sounds to me like a l2p issue.

only thing thats an exploit is going out of bounds of the map, like backdoor horde cap or climbing behind alliance roof
everything else is simple wall jumping that still happens every game by every player without repercussions

In wsg this week we ran into a pretty bad premade that we were stomping pretty handily. But then one of their FCs disappeared. We just couldn’t find him. A solid 20 minutes we looked everywhere. Then I found him.
On top of the horde ramp side entrance is a bunch of small hills that butt up against the horde base in a convex corner. If you get right into that corner and stand in Just the right spot you fall through the floor just enough that if you /sit your character can not be seen. I only noticed him because I could just make out the tip of the flag through the floor.
WSG wall jumping and other terrain exploits should be fixed. Regardless of wether they were in vanilla or not. Sure people jumped on top of huts back then, but it was maybe 1 out of 15 or 20 BGs that you’d see someone that knew how to do it. In Classic it’s every darn BG.

A big time Horde pvp’er got banned the week before he was getting High Warlord for terrain exploiting. Blizzard has said most of those things are very much against the rules and yes, they can ban you for it. Report it when you see it.
And if you are not going to fix it… at least ban the abusers! It is in your terms of service covering exploits… please enforce your own rules!!!
