Horde exploiting in AV: The "Backdoor" exploit report
Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2016 1:14 pmHello,
I would like to report a bug that is exploited by the Horde faction in Alterac Valley Battleground and is known as the "backdoor" exploit in player parlance.
Detailed explanation and pictures follow:
=====================================================================
Stage 1: Horde players are able to vertically climb a hill as seen below:

I suspect this to be either a bug or else Horde players are using an exploit.
======================================================================
Stage 2: Horde players succeed in climbing vertically on top of a hill right next to the Alliance Base.

=======================================================================
Stage 3: Horde players use this same hill to damage Alliance defenders bypassing the entire ring of Alliance defences.

=======================================================================
Stage 4 (Final Stage): Horde players are able to walk down from the hill and directly inside the back of the Alliance base (hence "backdoor), proceed to cap the Stormpike Aid Station, that is to say the graveyard right next to the alliance boss:

========================================================================
Horde win the majority of their games in Alterac Valley like this enabling them to farm honor at a much faster pace than normal. The only reason there are any people there in the screenshots defending back there, is that I was alerted to the exploit and wanted to take appropriate screenshots before i report it.
In a normal game, Alliance players are absolutely unaware of the Horde exploit, and about five minutes after the game has started, and while the Alliance is bottlenecked in the vicinity of Tower Point , the Horde is already inside the Alliance base capping the Stormpike Aid Station, having bypassed all Alliance defences completely.
Eight minutes into the game the two Alliance bunkers are destroyed and the Horde start working on the Boss while the Alliance is in the vicinity of Frostwolf graveyard.
The Horde win the match abt ten minutes after it has started and while the Alliance is still struggling to get to the Frostwolf Towers.
=============================================================================
Please fix this exploit as it gives the Horde an unfair time advantage which is impossible by the Alliance team to overcome as it has got to run the full gauntlet of the Horde defences which they cannot bypass.
