Recieved 24 hr ban for standing on Blacksmith roof of Arathi Basin, was reported by a horde which is fair enough.. i would report too if i thoguth it was not allowed.

GM told me that i had already recieved warnings for safespotting which was true. i was warned for killing players in booty bay where guard NPC's could not attack. he told me since i had been warned before he would issue a ban. except its not safespotting is it.. since there are no guard npc's and players can still attack me.

Secondly i told him about this screenshot:

would love to hear gm comment on the inconsistency here. so here we see a gm saying "safespotting isnt really agaisnt any rules" yet the gm talking to me said it is. totally fair right..

this screenshot was part of the reason i was confident to stay there as it says specifically that it is ok.

not mad about ban but would like an unban if you understand my reasoning. thanks

Salutations Colezz.

The Game Master in the screenshot provided accurate information based on the policies at the time. Also note that the screenshot is 6 months old, possibly even older. We've since supplemented the Terms of Use to cover a wide range of different behaviour that is categorized under C. Gameplay which is also known as Safe-spotting depending on the respective violation. Specifically in this infraction:


  • Using or exploiting errors in design, features, and/or bugs to gain access that is otherwise not available, to facilitate and/or grant you an advantage over other players.
