Exploiting Dungeon Bosses

[Lachis]

Rumors are nothing, we need proofs.

There are and there always be rumors on WoW servers, would they be private server or even Blizzard's server.

If you pay attention to rumors and want a fair MMO at the same time, just switch you computer off.

Don't you have logs for items? If not don't you have logs for chat? Can't you just see if they talked about the exploit, set it up...etc. I mean I appreciate the work you are doing; however, if a few groups of players are using this type of exploit to get ahead of the rest of the players...that's a bigger deal than fixing the lags and the dongeons. Just look at number of boss kills over the time spent in the dongeon. 11 Wyrmthalak kills in a few hours? Be honest with yourself.

Just a little reminder, it is not a professional staff. And by that I mean that they are working on their free time and are not paid for that.
Deal with it.

Yes, there are guilds doing this.

How the exploit is done:

Enter an instance with a group, clear the instance to the boss you want to exploit/farm
Kill the boss, now have 1 guy run out of the instance. When he is out then everyone else in the group does ALT+F4, the guy outside can then reset the instance. The other players then log back in and they will be at the same spot in the instance but the instance will be reset. Now summon the guy who reset the instance back to the boss.

Repeat by having the reset guy suicide.

I haven't done this myself but this is my understanding of how it is done.

Well, I've heard the same thing, then I tried in order to report it, but it never worked. I would always end up moved to the entrance. Or this rumor is false, or there is a missing element in the exploit description : /

[Armilus]

Exiled tried many similar exploits during the final tests, including some I've never seen posted publicly. The less well-known ones worked and we reported them, I believe they were fixed before launch but haven't tested.

[sbeezy]

not sure why our guild is being pulled into this, if you check our guild list during any time of the day you'll see everyone's constantly farming gear in 5 mans / 10 mans.

sorry to dissapoint but rumors are rumors

[Lachis]

If you did lbrs, scholo, and UBRS in one day at most you should have 2 maybe 3 people with the gear they need. Not 10+. Whats the point of doing dungeons and PvEing if these guilds are just exploiting to get ahead. There are several people who are over it already and just PvPing now. With the speculation going around, you would think that the GM's would check logs....if they even have any. Given that you can still get dazed thorugh shield for some reason, I don't think the devs even have logs, or care to check them.

[nervous]

Test the exploit yourself, fraps a video of it working/failing, and post it here. Otherwise please stop feeding the flames.
