Gadgetzan attacking from roof?

[Skorn]

When I played in classic I used to safespot that smithing house in darkshire? i think it was called? Area just before deadwind pass. I never got banned or in trouble but occasionally I would get ported to the nearest graveyard randomly if I was up there for a while. Like every-time I went there it was about 15-20m when I started getting teleported.

Same thing happened when we used to glitch out of the map in warsong on horde side. Remember being able to jump up the side of the ramp heading to the roof and you could get outside which was LoS even if you were right in front of alliance. Used to hold the flag up there during deadlocked games, then anyone up there would get ported randomly to the gy and the flag would drop.

Same thing happened when I got feared under the map in that arena map based in the outland mountains Seriously can't remember the names of these zones lol. Bladeridge?

I know some of these are actual glitches and not easily accessed safespots, but the reaction by the staff at the time was the same for all of them. This would have been a few months before the AQ war effort.

I got temp banned for rooftop camping in darkshire, back in 05, was a crock of BS that I got banned for it. I am glad the gm posted earlier in the thread that it's ok.

My personal GM reply in game was to the effect that anyone can do it. They don't care.

Less importantly to this server is the fact that retail never supported this. It was considered an offense. Not sure where it would lead to, but I didn't take the chance.

In retail it was frowned upon. Usually a GM would just teleport you to the nearest GY. In rare cases, if you were unlucky you would get a 3-24hr ban. There was one druid on my server who was known as the Lion's Pride Inn assassin killing those flagged while wall jumping on top of the inn for a safe spot. We had a forum post about him... Sadly, it wasn't saved when blizzard changed their forum layout in 2010, so it is lost forever. Still remember his name: Soundwave he never got banned just teleported to the graveyard after he got reported.

This forum is ridiculous. Where is bug tracker? Where should I post screenshot with aoe abuse?

I had a ticket open for 16 hours about someone abusing AoE in Gadget, ticket just vanished.

Watch out for Electron if you're in Gadgetzan.

Ah, I see my warning is too late

The mages using Blizzard in Goblin towns to circumvent the guards are most likely going to get permabanned, as that's definitely bug abuse. Rooftop ganking, however, is fine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e165HwZtACM

the rooftop killing was allowed.

tho i must add that i'm a ret pala with Eye for an eye talent.
and when a caster spell crits me i get hunted down by the guards instantly this is not blizzlike tho and should get fixed if they allow rooftop killing.

Rooftop killing sucks
