Wintergrasp exploit, cheating to win.

Don't know how they're doing it, but in every battle that Alliance has defended today, Horde have amassed maximum number of siege engines in under 1 minute. It's quite sad that by the time you reach a cannon to defend the fortress, there's already 16 sieges knocking on your door.

For all that might say Alliance does it too, I can assure you that we are not as I've been in every single battle today and it takes us much longer than 1 minute to rank up in order to build sieges.

It's quite sad that cheating is they only way they can win, and I really don't want to hear that it's "part of the game mechanics", because that is bull and should be fixed. This just started happening on Hyrdraxis this week.

Pahanda, please leave the discussion, you bring nothing of value to it.

I can assure you, Jansus, that they the other side does this as well. Perhaps not on your realm since it seems the Alliance out numbers the Horde in the majority of these battles.

It is completely possible for one side with Tenacity to rank up 16 members very quickly and acquire multiple siege engines.
Q u o t e:

Pretty apparent that it is an exploit and not an intended game mechanic.


From my understanding of the issue, and what others who have looked into this have reported, this is an intended function of the mechanic. Perhaps I too am misunderstanding the situation though.

If you believe there is something that is being missed, Jansus, and we aren't understanding the situation properly you are welcome to post in the Bug Report forum, please list as much information as you can recall and our Quality Assurance department will look into it.

Otherwise, you'll want to post in the PvP Discussion or Suggestion forum to provide your feedback regarding Wintergrasp.
