Cheating the game.

Hello everyone, I'm not exactly sure if I was suppose to make this post in these forums or another, but I truly wish for it to be addressed soon. Just a few weeks back in Arathi basin I reported a guy that capped a few flags before the game started. After talking with the GM and thanked us for the report, I haven't seen it happen.. until tonight.

At roughly 1 minute before the game starting, a alliance member got to cap ST, LM and BS . Many people started to report the matter right away, I however wanted to take a different approach and bring it to the forums where hoping that this issue with the map itself can be resolved. I've also been told that horde as well can do this before game starting. So I don't think its just something on the alliance side of the starting map, apparently its both.

It upsets me that people think that cheating is the best way to win these games quickly but I obviously know Blizzard as a company would be against this kind of thing, which I'm fairly certain they are aware of this problem. For me.. it can take up to 10 min of waiting for the random BG, to lose to cheating can be pretty upsetting but looking forward to not having this problem in the near future.

If there is any information on this matter can I please be informed, Thanks for your time and I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum to be posting :)

Q u o t e:
Can we get a blue response? Is this "clever use" or is it cheating?


It is exploiting, Gambles, i.e. cheating. It is not a clever use of anything. Please continue to report any player that you witness doing this and we will look into the matter and take appropriate actions.
