This conversation has been had a thousand times over the last decade. There are clearly some jumps that some races / classes cannot do. .
Are you referring to fence jumps? I assume so since you singled them out.
I play the largest framework model in the game (male tauren) and have video of me doing every single fence jump there is on my twitch. They all can be done. It's just that some races can do it easier than others. Every race has it's "easy jumps" & "hard jumps". This is called tradeoff.
It could be argued that they are exploits, or borderline exploits, or not exploits at all. We don't tolerate this grey area. Not in guild and not in WSG. If someone does that in the BG, we say something about it. If someone does that in guild, they are kicked.
Of course they can be argued as exploits. Those whom cant do them or dont understand them have argued them to be exploits for years. It's only a "grey area" because blizzard is smart and doesn't want to single out specific jumps, as that is
*in other words* a promotion, of sorts. The jumps they deem as true exploits have been fenced off by invisible walls. And while they did miss a few (
IE Alliance Portal), it wouldn't be inaccurate to assume 95% of jumps out there are legal & fair game.
By jwl's own admission, he said that the majority of them are not exploits. I think that is true. However, that means that he thinks some of them are exploits. If he is actively exploiting because he can't be the best FC druid without them, he is not welcome in our guild.
Yes. You literally spelled out what I just said. "The majority of them are not exploits. This means that a minority of them are.".
And because I can vouch for particular jumps being exploits, that gives you the impression that I perform said jumps? Because you'd be mistaken to think so. Thanks for not only putting me in the conversation as "the best fc druid" but literally giving me that title. I appreciate it. And once again, your guild likely advertises in trade chat. I am not interested. Never was.
Our goal is simple. To have as many good games as possible. Rolling 10 deep on a daily basis and smashing pugs doesn't help the bracket. Exploiting doesn't help the bracket. There is a reason why you don't see East coast begging for people to join because our bracket is dead.
Jumps literally offer so much outplay and add to the competitive level of good games. This seriously cant even be argued. Jumps & gap-closers are the real plays that are being made. So why would you even restrict your own gameplay? In all due respect, you & your guild sound like complete average Joe's. I'm not an advocate for 10-mans or for exploits. I agree, neither are good for the bracket unless you're syncing two premades together.
