They weren't exploiting anything, they used lazypig which uses /script JoinBattlefield(1) to queue and automatically queue you as a group
http://wowwiki.wikia.com/API_JoinBattlefield

It is your fault, devs of nost, that the group queue API is or were still there, on ED the developers actually knew how to remove it and did it before releasing AV.

I didn't see the bugtracker even once but I know stuff has been reported and you have not fixed them.
Don't blame this on the players, it is your fault, developers, nothing has been exploited.

Your bans on these players are unjustful, also, Group queueing is blizzlike, we used to do this in retail vanilla... I was like 11-12yo and I still remember it clearly.

You cannot blame these guilds for this, nor accuse them for withholding information.

I am eternally grateful for the service that Nostalrius provides, and my overall experience here has been amazing. I have the utmost respect for the staff, but I feel it necessary to express my distaste at how this is being handled.

To suggest that testers were aware of this "bug" is a baseless accusation. I doubt there was even a single day with enough players online on the PTR for testing this issue to even be possible.

Multiple pieces of evidence dating back to Retail Vanilla have been posted that show that the ability to group queue AV was inherently in the game. Most private servers remove this function, but Nostalrius left it there (obviously NOW we know this was unintentional).

In my opinion it is wrong for Nostalrius to (without warning) punish players for using a function that was left in the game by THEIR staff.

I also find it offensive that the testers are being falsely accused of being intentionally dishonest. These accusations are absurd and untrue, and I am sure that any logs or records of PTR activity will show that at no point was group queueing tested.
