Punishing people who bug abuse

Hi there!
We all know that our server is absolutely perfect, and that there are some bugs that are found. I think that people who bug abuse should be punished accordingly. Example : The beastslaying bug. Someone bug abused and leveld a level in an hour. This person should be punished for abusing a bug and not necessarily reporting it.
What do you guys think?

Definitely.... find a bug try it few times then report and dont use that bug... when its something minor idc... but when someone abuse a bug, then thanks to this bug he make first 60 and everyone have to sing songs about him because first 60, but thanks to bug abusing? And I dont want even to talk about his set he have, dont know how because on this stage of game its unoptaynable :-)
He was even reported to the GMs several times, its time for them to either take action or to comment somehow.

Beastslaying enchant was bugged, and was multiplying spell dmg for casters against beasts, add to that low hp mobs in silithus and you have red carpet to lvl 60.

I can't do anything but laugh when I read all the lies that Whitekidney and co spread. I'm even more surprised that people are willing to believe it without any proof whatsoever. I am assuming that's because the people who believe him are his friends, that's fine. But for the rest, you guys should think for yourselves.

Where exactly are these rumors being spread from, horde faction chat or something? Who did they come from, the guy who narrowly lost the race to 60 because he logged out at level 57 when I was level 56? Then I got a level every 3 hours from questing efficiently in WPL/EPL/Silithus. I grinded most of a level to save these zones for the end. I went from level 49 to 60 in a single 38 hour session, because I knew it was the only chance I had of winning.

I played at a disadvantage in several ways: as an alliance character with less streamlined questing (more travel required, less quests overall, no joana's guide) and as a warlock which comparing kill speed to a BM hunter is about a 25% DPS difference (plus no aspect of the cheetah) from what I could compare with my friend Sylonic. I also could not log in for 3 hours when the server launched and therefore had to fight my way through Dun Morogh, losing about 4 and a half hours total (with the time offline). On top of this I made many mistakes and died well over 100 times, deleted a few key quest items so I had to go back and get them.

At the end of the race I was alone as an alliance against 4 hordes competing for first, who killed me a few times. Sol was also assisting Whitekidney for much of the final stretch with out of party mob tagging (athene style), which is ironic when I'm the one being accused of foul play. :lol:

If a horde hunter following joana's guide can't do better than this, then I am sorry but you didn't deserve to win.

I put in a hell of a lot of effort to stay focused for that long and play the entire race with 15 hours sleep as a single person, and what am I greeted with? Mostly I get praise thankfully, but there is a minority who believe the words of a very salty loser.

You do realize I am wearing Shadoweave, not Felcloth right? http://db.vanillagaming.org/?search=shadoweave#spells Guildmate Sentti was kind enough to farm Shadow Silk to make the full set for me at around lvl 52 for a guild discount.

Indeed it is. Please GMs, set these false claims straight and confirm that I never had beastslaying enchant on my account, speedhack or whatever bullshit Whitekiddo and his army of fan boys wants people to believe. As the person who played this character 1-60, I know exactly what I did.

It wasn't until now that I realized how much lies and misinformation that people spew on the internet, don't believe everything you read guys, where is the proof to any of this? There is none because it never happened.

That is all.

People who abuse bugs or exploit ingame get dealt with, but if you find a bug or someone who abuse it you can help the devs out by reporting it :)

Best regards

Hitting 60 first isn't even a big deal...it is trivial at best.

People who actually care about such accomplishments will of course be sore and make excuses for why they were not the first one to reach 60. Whether or not Whitekidney is lying about Malthrus' supposed exploitation is irrelevant. There's no proof, likely never will be, and in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter.

The rest of us are just leveling at our own pace and having a blast. Not sure why others can't do the same.

Dude, i don't care if they're lies or not. If you bug abused you should be punished accordingly. If you didn't bug abuse, then great. Congrats on the lvl 60. But if a gm or dev passes by here, could you clarify that bug abusing isn't tolerated at all?

I disagree. The blizzard stance is to generally fix a bug, and not punish people for it. Nostalrius fixes bugs fast. Report them and indicate that it's abusable, and it'll probably be fixed in a few hours.
