My question is: Can you get banned or suspended for going to the "ironforge airport"???

My friend was talking to me about this airport place in the mountains near ironforge. So I went to his house and he logged on his account and Climbed up the mountain. I saw a place with a gryphon master but no FP and a bunch of gyrocopters. My friend said he used no cheats or hacks and i also didnt see any. It looked like he just jumped and ran up the mountain. So if i try to go there would i get banned? Why is it up there?

( i looked on youtube and found some videos of it and apparently its been there since original WoW)

Q u o t e:
Can i get an official Response? The only reason is you can get there really easily without hacks so why am i not aloud? I wont do it if a blue says no.


You cannot, however, get there without using techniques that could be considered exploitative (wall jumping and the like). Even if you could, there are regions of the game world where it is forbidden to tread for a reason that is no more elaborate than 'we say so'. We do, however, have very good reasons for this, and such rules are covered in our Terms of Use anyway:

Rules Related to Game Play

Game play is what World of Warcraft is all about, and Blizzard strictly enforces the rules that govern game play. Blizzard considers most conduct to be part of the Game, and not harassment, so player-killing the enemies of your race and/or alliance, including gravestone and/or corpse camping, is considered a part of the Game. Because the Program is a "player vs. player" game, you should always remember to protect yourself in areas where the members of hostile races can attack you, rather than contacting Blizzard's in-game customer service representatives for help when you have been killed by an enemy of your race. Nonetheless, certain acts go beyond what is "fair" and are considered serious violations of these Terms of Use. Those acts include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

1. Using or exploiting errors in design, features which have not been documented, and/or "program bugs" to gain access that is otherwise not available, or to obtain a competitive advantage over other players


The point is, just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
