I also seem to be banned for some reason, I only ever logged in once to create a couple of characters and grab the first arena, none with offensive names.

Hopefully a bug!

Yeah I'm not sure how this is a bannable offense. You ran a level 1 character to grab the Gurubashi Arena chest and had like 6g when everyone else had less than 10s, but that's not cheating or exploiting, that's being smart. Hope they can reverse that decision.

Technically, that is an exploit. While it is their bad for including the arena chest so early on in the game, I'm pretty sure you are well aware that it shouldn't be in, or at least that if this was actual vanilla start you would have had no idea to run for it.

Exploiting something that is so well known to work otherwise is still exploiting.

Again, it is their bad for including it in the game so early on, but I can kind of understand the decision. They made a very good server as it seems so far and they missed a few points definitely. You exploited one of these missed points, you get a ban. I'm pretty sure it is also partially due to them being a little on edge because of the launch and the constant complaining about everything.

I don't get what you are saying here Putni.

The arena chest was introduced to the game in 1.4 and it has always spawned every 3 hours at 12-3-6-9, how is it an exploit to use it for it's intended purpose? The server was up at like 5:58 which let short john walk down, it definitely should have been in, so all I did was loot an arena chest that is designed to be looted.

Are we going to ban everyone who loots the chest from now on?

My point is, that if we take all the "let's make it blizzlike" attitude into account, developers even making itemization progressive and all this hype, this day is supposed to be like day one.

Now I wasn't sure whether the chest was in from day one or not, but I'm pretty sure that on day one noone went for the chest.

I'm not blaming you or anything, it is a smart move, but from a certain point of view it can be seen as exploitation I think. Not in the sense how teleporting or botting is, but still sort of is - again, when we take into account the entire design philosophy.

Then again, like I said, if they thought this was a bad thing to do on day one, they should not have included the chest timer in the game on day one, but let's say at the end of next week, when enough people are high level enough to make a meaningful fight about it.

I mean no ill towards you, I'm just trying to explain the situation as I see it. I actually think they should have let you walk with it even though it is negatively cunning move in my eyes. In about two days, noone will be able to pull it off this easily, and you got the jump on it. At worst they should have given you a warning that it wasn't nice to do it.

Following that reasoning every person who completed the Ahn'Qiraj war effort quest should be banned since they exploited a quest that was not only not in the game on retail day one but shouldnt have even been available at their level, giving them what I believe was a rather significant headstart with levelling considering the state of the starter zones at launch.

I applaud you for this smart move. I think it is well within the rules. Has nothing to do with exploiting a bug. I hope this will be solved soon.

Before starting a debate, how about confirming that is the reason for the ban?

[dildoman]
