Wintergrasp: Mining Exploit

#0 - Aug. 8, 2009, 1:30 p.m.

So, I personally have been witnissing some bizzare things while trying to mine in Wintergrasp. One being the increased number of Death Knights between the levels of 58-70 in Wintergrasp. And also, the amount of people who are just popping out of mountains, and mining while being underground.

Honestly Blizzard, this has been going on for at least a month, and I have reported over 30 people on two different servers, and it seems this problem has yet to be even started to becoming fixed. So I was wondering, is mining under the map in Wintergrasp exploiting the game? I would imagine, but why hasn't anything been done to prevent this? It seems they are faster then I am on a epic flyer with Crusader Aura on, because I can never beat them to a Vein.

Please, get working on fixing this problem so everyone has a fair chance at mining there, not to mention, letting the low levels who max out mining have to fight the mobs like the rest of us. I can't tell you how many times I've lost a vein to another player on the opposite faction who had only 5000 something health, buy couldn't do anything because they were undernearth the terrian.

The actions you've described would be considered an exploit, Kayrotsu. To be clear, a number of different teams are currently exploring options to help eliminate this activity; however, I'm afraid that I am unable to elaborate further. I can assure you that we understand the frustration that this issue has caused our players.

We want nothing more than to provide you with the most outstanding game environment possible, and we'll continue to work our hardest to help remedy the issue as quickly as we can.

Thank you for your patience and dedication to bringing these players to our attention.

Best wishes.
