Twinks entering XP-on BGs is probably about to get fixed

[Chops]

If they ever were about to fix this, f2p/ vets would be one step closer to be in the xpoff bracket

blue posts have indicated that F2P is absolutely supposed to que with levelers, so I don't imagine that's something that'll be "fixed" because it's not broken.

That said, I genuinely think vets were an oversight. Maybe they change it, maybe they dont. After all, by mid bracket any leveler who spends a couple hundred gold to enchant boa gear is on par with a vet.

Honestly, who cares what it might imply. The que exploit is an exploit that should be fixed even if its rarely used. It's clearly broken and broken things bother me.

Never said that is something that would be fixed. But blizzard could very well change their mind, since vets/f2p’s would be the next target for the angry leveler mob.

No hate toward you at all, but why do people group vet/f2p together as if they have the same weight on the bracket? If anything, f2p blends in with levelers because of lack of enchants etc.

I'm not saying vets are amazing players or anything, because let's be honest, level 20's.. but in my experience not a ton of f2ps are so exceptional that I've ever seen anyone complain about them specifically.

It's always the enchants and insane damage that levelers complain about. If anything were to happen, I'd see vets being fixed (maybe after xp off queue thing does) and f2ps staying the same, but the whole "trial out the game and being given pvp as an option" I feel could apply the same to vet accounts if that's the reason why bgs were allowed to begin with. They did, after all, make a conscious decision in cata for f2ps to have no time limit and in wod for veteran account status to even exist.

I mean yeah, it's possible. Unlikely, but possible.

But you either play the game blizzard gives you or you don't.

no it wont because you level out of 20-29 in like 30 min.
people hardly spend time in the bracket enough to care.
only reason there was an angry mob was because it was consistent throughout ALL the brackets.

Ya cause cheating the game is how you play it right?

They need to fix all of it, not some and stay on top of it. I am recording in bg's all the people exploiting, including those on there Stream on twitch and anyone else I know is a twink, Not hard to look them up on Armory and keep record of it. I would never teach my kids to cheat or exploit a game, If you can't play it right then you shouldn't play it all imo. And I plan on making a Youtube video with all the Footage so I can publicly expose them as well as cheaters, Wanna be a POS well then GOOD people will do something about it like me.

Holy shit we get it dude u don't like having fun

Gee, then I guess that no one would ever get a ban for simply splitting a stack of potions and then drinking each individual potion. After all, that means they didn't use any 3rd party programs, nor any macros, nor any addon using the wow api.

Usually when people are about to say something this dumb, they go anon first. Just an FYI.

Sigh you do know that i wasn't saying that the xp pot potion shouldn't have been banned because it didn't have macros or anything right? I'm saying that you can't be banned for using a macro, because it is all in game and doesn't use any mechanics that are illegal.

And anyone reasonable would understand that the actual mechanism by which an exploit is implemented has no basis for being banned for the exploit? It doesn't matter if you're exploiting the underlying race condition with the assistance of a macro or just using the mouse to click on both buttons, you're still going to be punished.

isn't this just "CLEVER USAGE OF GAME MECHANICS" ?

Right now, I'm uncertain if they're really that dense, or if they're simply trolling.

Just spotted this thread on the frontpage of r/wow. When exploits are posted there they are usually fixed within few weeks.
Will BG heroes ever catch a break?

I don't enjoy killing levellers but I do enjoy killing those who whine and whisper me angry messages even when their main goal is to reach 120 and never see a twink again. The logic of some people is mind blowing.

Blizzard should have never introduced experience gains in PVP. It thwarts the meaning of PVP at its core, most of the confused PVE or wannabe PVPers that find themselves in BGs today no matter what bracket, treat the match like its a fucking Quest in Stranglethorn Vale. It takes half a game or several minutes before they actually engage in PVP inside a fucking BG in some cases.

And they get fucking confused and traumatized when they get GY camped because they joined the queue with the idea of getting easy experience, which to me is so fucking backwards.

I play to win I queue up with the intention of winning, These leveling assholes should have never been let inside a BG in the first place. There are dozens of ways to level your piece of shit characters. PVP wasnt one of them in the beginning and should have never been.

Cant fucking wait any longer for classic, I'm gonna twink across all brackets and make sure they see who killed them both inside and outside of BGs until they only have fucking PVE/RP server to play on just to get away from me.

Lets make PVP great again!

This is an easy fix for blizzard to make happen, it's just a matter of time really. It's been 10 days so most likely within this week. This is a joke honestly it's pretty funny.

[btw]
Exploit = using a method that was not intended by the game developers to gain advantage over other players.

Hack = using a 3rd party program/tool & "high level" methods to gain advantage over other players

I agree, Exp should have never been added to battlegrounds. Leveling is already easy enough. If they removed exp, more than likely, you would see more people interested in the actual pvp vs people looking for a easy carry to their next level.

Amazing how many people expect Actiblizzard to actually react. Great read. Many people have even reported themselves for this bug. I would strap in and get used to the new normal.
