Cheated out of win

Q u o t e:
If this was pve you would drag your developers and code writers out of bed and back from holiday to fix it....as it pvp i guess we just got to put up with it.....

If you were a PvE person you would say the opposite, that if the issue they were experiencing was a PvP one that it would get resolved quickly.

Everyone has their own perceptions of things and in both cases you are completely wrong.

Our Developers care about both aspects of the game, after all they designed them.

The ability to cap before the gates open is not new, our Developers are continually looking into and resolving such issues but some people are fairly clever when it comes into ways to cheat so as one is plugged up new and more interesting ones are found.

If you know how something is accomplished I'd recommend writing into [email protected] so it can be properly forwarded and investigated. We also ask that you report what individuals that you believe are doing this. Make sure to include their name and realm when submitting a petition. The matter will be looked into and appropriate actions taken.

As for your claims of disconnections, are you claiming that the opposite team is causing it? That would be some trick but reporting something you perceive as happening and actually verifying that is slightly different. The disconnections may have nothing to do with them, and likely don't but we can't acknowledge an issue if we are unable to reproduce it.

If you have more information regarding it report it via an e-mail to keep possible exploits out of a more public view.

Q u o t e:


If this was the first time it happened i would not find it suspicious, its the 4th time, each time we were winning to only come back to a 5 cap, why is it that only the horde disconnected? Why is it that the two that were left saw the alliance run around in two big groups capping?

I couldn't say, Dontbot. Our Quality Assurance Team will look into reports submitted to them but if they are unable to find any evidence of an issue there isn't anything that they'd be able to "fix".

Are you all using the same addons? Addons tend to transfer a very large amount of information back and forth and it could be causing some people to disconnect. Start by disabling those addons and go from there. Report what you find via the Bug Report forum, or if you believe the information sensitive through [email protected].

Q u o t e:
New the forums, is there a pre-existing or proper thread to report those using the ab exploit?

Submitting an in-game petition would be the best way. We do not permit people to call one another out on the forums.

Q u o t e:

lol did you really pull the addon thing off? seriously

Yes, Shamburger, when looking for possible causes to an issue is it important to try your standard troubleshooting steps. As most people who don't simply laugh if off will tell you, addons can cause a number of issues including disconnections, latency as well as issues with quests and interaction with NPC's and game objects. Not to mention addons that are designed to gather and share information do so through specially created channels, that much information passed back and forth does have a noticeable impact.

Q u o t e:
and seriously if you guys really care about pvp you wound balance classes better and world pvp would not be dead -_-

Our Developers are always working to balance the classes but that doesn't mean each class has an equal chance at killing or surviving against all the other classes. Everyone will have their weaknesses and strengths, that is why you have multiple members in a group, because each person brings something.

Feel free to leave your constructive feedback in the appropriate location, Shamburger. World PvP is much like a Horse with Water, you can create it but you can't force them to drink. Feel free to make your own thrilling contributions in the appropriate location.
