Gems for all

QUOTE=Modicumofrespite;452411]f2p's can and do gem. Any player who can instance (level 15) can gem.

I seriously doubt anyone has been banned for normal spell-casting and that's all gemming is. Read the OP. No tricks, codes, reprogramming or jiggering of the client is utilized. Only standard, everyday casts. Why would one assume it was anything but intended? Blizz could've put level requirements on the gems, but chose not to. They could've put BS skill level requirements on the sockets, but chose not to. No, gemming is entirely within the ULA. In fact, Blizz should order the GM's to reinstate all gems and I call on them to do so.[/QUOTE]





please help me man, i beg you. if you can, private mesage me.
 
Look at the +20 gem prices, if you think everyone is so pure as you espouse. Virtually every 24 (Horde) has gems, only most of the free-to-play don't and they aren't paying, so who cares?

No, I didn't get banned. I did have my gems removed, though. The reason I posted was because Horde were laughing that they'd gotten many, if not most of the Alliance gems removed by making level-1's on the Ally gem-wearers servers and complaining to GM. Blizz is currently only removing gems when they get a complaint, so the Horde tactic is working. Horde have gems, Ally don't.

When it comes to a point where horde can have gems, but Ally can't - That is an exploit. One faction having an unfair gear advantage over the other is the definition of an exploit. I simply want Blizz to admit gemming is not an exploit and stop removing Ally gems. (they already don't remove many Horde gems). Alternately, they need to remove all gems, not just the ones people complain about.

To summarize, Gemming by itself isn't an exploit, it's the removal of gems by complaint that's the exploit. And I want Blizz to stop enabling exploit-by-complaint, so I posted the procedure, so all can have equal access and all can see there are no cheat codes. If the Horde wouldn't have been such weasels and started squealing to GM's, this wouldn't have been necessary. After all, it's really us against the 20's, isn't it?

No Horde Invasion player has them or they are removed from the guild. To my current understanding there is no larger Horde side guild for 24s. The vast majority of the 24s that run with me via RealID do not have them either. When we see them we report them either faction. Personally I have reported and had removed more Horde characters with gems than Alliance side via my Alliance toons. In fact I have talked to several Alliance guilds who had them but dropped them of their own volition. Additionally, Allies can do the very same thing that you propose the Horde did. In realty, I have seen way more Alliance toons still with them than Horde.

To summarize, Gemming itself is not only an exploit but reason for more than a few permanent bans. No, it is not really "us" against the 20's.

some try to cover their exploited loots by looting blues/getting exploration achievements, it's pretty easy to spot exploiters now:

if you have BS or only 1 profession (some drop BS when they log off, sneaky) then you are most likely an exploiter.
