Safe-Spotting Banned?

[Nain]

Clarification on safe-spotting
Attacking other players while standing on a spot where the guards cannot reach you is no longer allowed, casting through roofs is considered bug abuse.

I used to sit on Goldshire's roof, the roofs in Crossroads, and the roofs in Gadgetzan all day in retail, and never once did I receive a single message from a GM for it. In some towns, guards simply couldn't reach players at times, and they didn't have the knockback spell.

So what's the big deal? Why are you banning safe-spotting? Is this server becoming a place for carebears? Switch to PvE if so. Casting through roofs is an abuse, yes, but standing on a spot where guards cannot reach you is bannable? What the fuck is that?

[Crispin]

Yeah no that did not happen.

Pretty sure Blizzard added guards with ranged weapons to kill rooftop campers because even they didn't agree with it. So yes, rooftop camping is an exploit.

Thats one retarded argument to be honest.
"Pretty sure Blizzard added Mass Dispel to help killing paladins because even they didn't agree with it. So yes, using Divine Shield is an exploit."
See?

To be honest, camping from roofs is cowardice, fight like a man!

Vanilla-WoD player here.

Blizzard has ALWAYS had a strong stance against bug abuse.

With something like wall-walking, combat through roofs/walls, etc -> These are bugs that can be exploited throughout the game. Blizzard has always taken these reports on a case-by-case basis, but Blizzard continues to punish griefers who are using a bug/exploit to kill other players.

Not every player knows how to get to those spots, and not every player wants to break their immersion and make their character do impossible parkour.

Anyone who is mad about this rule is most certainly a toxic player.

hah, another gayrat crying about being warned for rat actions

I'm not in favour of a safe-spotting ban, and I play a rogue, a class that gains nothing from being able to safe-spot.

Does it even concern a rogue since you can just stealth to avoid people attacking you?

Guards in neutral cities had guns with knockback power since 1.7 on retail, so cry as much as you want, it was not allowed.
