Did they find an exploit then failed to report it and kept using it? That is a problem. If the bomb is causing a glitch then using it isn't the issue, repeatedly using it is.
I don't know the whole story, but from the minimal amount of info I have found it is looking like Blizzard might be the wrong party. :P IMHO they should have their accounts terminated.Ĭan anyone confirm that the bomb causes a glitch? What exactly is happening? If the bomb is working like it should and the players are using it in normal context, but the effects, and/or use of the bomb, was not expected by the developers then there is no fault to the player. If you know that what you are doing is an exploit and practically cheating, that you abuse a bug on purpose, then you deserve punishment. IMHO it depends to a lot not only on what you can do but if you know what is supposed to be happen. So, for instance, if I was to go into a raid and something glitched out while firing a bow at one of the minions causing all the mobs to stop fighting for a 5 seconds then using the bow is not the exploit but continuing to use it when you realize it is glitching out the raid is. I think what they are saying is that it's not the use of the bomb per se, but that the bomb caused a glitch and one that was easily recognized as a glitch. did I put the whole thing in a nutshell here.? Okay, the designers are pissed because the whole raid (well, I guess it's a raid) didn't happen as it should, and that their time and effort to get the raid up & running is worth null and void now *hugs the developers* The designers should have made sure they'd check every item that could be brought in. If the game allpws you to bring a bomb somewhere and use it, then it's not a flaw IMO. Blizard does not agree about their way and cancels the whole item used and bans the players involved saying they eploited it.? Be warned, neither of these are safe for work.I'm no WoW player, but let me get this straigth:Ī guild finds a way within the game mechanics that allows them to kill a raid. Update: It's worth a mention that the language Muqq used at the end of his post is identical (save places and names) to this post by Tigole (scroll to the bottom - it's the last thing on the page), written of EverQuest in 2002. Meanwhile, Muqq, the Ensidia player who posted about the ban, has taken this as an opportunity to quit WoW (and rant a bit at Blizzard about "half-assed encounters"), saying "to ban people when they do not know what's causing the bugs is just a joke." Before the ban (but after the hotfix), Ensidia put up a post claiming that they didn't think the bombs were an exploit Blizzard obviously isn't buying it. In addition to the temporary ban, all items and achievements they gained from downing Arthas have been revoked. The story is that Ensidia made use of Saronite Bombs to "bypass The Lich King fight mechanics" (Saronite Bombs and similar items were disabled in a hotfix last night). It looks like Ensidia's 25-man world first on the Lich King will go down with an asterisk next to it, because they've all just received a three-day ban for "Abuse of in-game mechanics or glitches with intent to exploit or cheat in World of Warcraft." The Ensidia blog post reporting this is down as of this writing due to traffic, but you can still view the Google cache.
