Players Exploiting Wintergrasp as Raid Lead

Malichï, kicking you from the raid doesn't remove you from the battle; anyone else that someone invites to the raid would already have to be in the zone in order to participate. I know that it's a bit of an annoyance, but you don't need to be in the raid to participate in the Wintergrasp battle.

Couldn't that be abused? A mean person could kick everyone from the raid just to make it hard on everyone else to mount a defense, get HKs, etc.

Malichï, I took a look into a few things; one of those things was to check whether or not anyone else reported this issue around the time of the occurrence.

I don't see anyone else reporting such an incident, nor do I see any other reports of this anywhere else. I do see that there are players reporting other issues around the time you were last in Wintergrasp, but nothing along these lines.

Are you sure this is what happened? Or did you happen to do something after you were kicked from the raid?

The problem I'm having with the issue, Malichï, is that we've not heard of any other reports of this.

You mentioned that he booted a few other people as well, so I would assume that if this was the case there would have been at least one report from someone else about the issue.

Additionally, there would also be a report somewhere across the various realms, but I've yet to find one.

Because of the circumstances, I'm inclined to believe that there was something more to this than you simply being removed from the group.

You're welcome to report the issue on our Bug Report forums if you're certain this is what transpired, Malichï, but there really isn't much we can do for you in regards to the issue here. If you report it there, our Quality Assurance team can take a deeper look into the issue.

No rudeness intended, but are you unable or unwilling to look at my chat logs for the system messages I speak of which validate my claim?
Quite honestly, I looked beyond simply chat logs. I wasn't really able to verify anything specific in regards to the issue beyond you whispering someone something fairly rude. =/
