Abuse of game mechanics?

#0 - Nov. 14, 2010, 12:02 a.m.

I've encountered an individual on my server who spends almost all day every day (it seems) in wintergrasp sniping people over and over. content removed - possible exploit

I would like to know if this kind of activity is actionable. It seems to me that while they are using a mechanic in the game they are using it for an obviously exploitive purpose and not at all what it was intended for.

It's a bit of a gray area. I'd definitely report them, but it would be more likely that they would get a warning to stop using that mechanic rather than an immediate suspension. Of course, if they have a history of such warnings... it might not stop there.

It's worth reporting, Gluestick. Be sure to include the name of the player you witnessed doing this, and realm if you decide to submit via e-mail at [email protected]. I'd also include a short description of the exploit, such as what you described here - I only removed it as posting here is rather public and we don't want to give ideas to those who would make poor decisions. >^.~<
