What exactly is safespotting

by yxy » Thu Sep 17, 2015 8:13 pm

Hello, I was warned today for safespotting
What does it mean exactly, for instance if I get on the top of a Gadgetzan or Kargath building to attack horde, and the guards can't reach me, is it safespotting?
What about if I attack horde at Light's chapel, out of range of the guards?
Thank you

Safespotting = standing in places where you're safe from guards/players cannot attack you back.
The level of whining about bans on the forums is at an all time industrial level.

being on top of buildings where guards cannot reach you is safespotting

however, being out of range of guards is NOT safespotting - it simply means that your target is either dumb and/or AFK and didn't position themselves close enough to offer protection from the guards

Oh, out of range is not safespotting, yeah. I thought he meant being able to evade the LHC guards by standing on a building or something.

Thanks for the answers

If I get on top of a building in a pvp zone (no guards), I would be fine then ? The only way for a melee to reach me is to climp up the same way I did

Thanks, another example if you would. If I use slowfall to get on top of blacksmith in arathi basin and defend the flag from there, is it safespotting?

yes, that's safespotting in my view - whether the dev here consider it as well I'm not sure though
