Backdoor in AV

[Bewarê-frostmane]

@Dottie-thunderhorn

You really are the one being obtuse. I did present my reasoning, many, many times. But your dismissive nature is ignoring it.

I’m very curious what you think counts as a proper counterargument to that post above.
Mind quoting again? And you know, presenting the reasoning behind why you don’t agree with it? You know, to present an actual argument for your case?

Because so far, I haven’t seen any.

All I’ve seen you say is on the level of flat-earthers logic.

What’s wrong, is your scrollwheel broken? I will just quote this.

@Dottie-thunderhorn

nothing can move one of us to the others opinion.

@Bewarê-frostmane

Because so far, I haven’t seen any.

Now who’s being obtuse? I have given my valid reasoning many times and you, being you, have ignored it or don’t see it as a counter argument. btw, you haven’t proved your side by saying how it’s an exploit yet, just someone else’s emotive post.

Edit: All you need to do is open a ticket and report players for it, then sit back and see what Blizzard say about it. Don’t forget to report back for your slice of humble pie. If they say I’m wrong I’ll eat some. A link to a screenshot of both parts will be enough proof.

“someone else’s emotive post”? I haven’t quoted anyone else though, only Blizzard’s official text.

You haven’t presented any valid reasoning thus far, the only attempt at it was this:

@Dottie-thunderhorn

I thought I made my point well, exploits are only ingame, so this co-ordinated external queuing isn’t an exploit.

Which is nonsensical. It’s self-explanatory, but I’ll do you a favor and explain why I guess. You seem like the type to need it.

The system itself is being bypassed sometimes via third-party programs such as voice com or addons, but other times just via the game’s own functions itself which by itself already renders your point meaningless, despite it being ridiculous in and of itself.
An exploit is any way to bypass the game’s intended design in a way that grants an unfair advantage, as quoted in the long post up above. Doesn’t matter if it’s via the use of third-party programs or not, in whatever capacity.

@Bewarê-frostmane

cheats; i.e. methods not expressly authorized by Blizzard, influencing and/or facilitating the gameplay, including exploits of any in-game bugs, and thereby granting you and/or any other user an advantage over other players not using such methods;

engaging in any activity that grants an unfair advantage is considered cheating.

This is related to the purpose of a matchmaking system, and the spirit of competing vs. opponents for “greater gains” from the match.
In a matchmaking system there’s something called a theoretical chance to win . This is far from 50/50 in the random matchmaking, and closer to equal in a rated system like arenas (or chess, which these systems are based on).

So the random matchmaking needs to be random because that is “fair” as in equal chance to get a favored chance to win in the matchmaking. Such as by setup or skill of players or being subjected to the same social circumstances, there are many things which affects it beneath the surface which is decided in the random matchmaking itself.

When only one side can bypass the nature of random matchmaking and go as a premade -

Such a blatant sophism, think long and hard as to what the word actually means. It means it was made previous to the BG itself. Pre Made . Get it?

The purpose of a random matchmaking system is to randomly match people up. To not enable a Join as Raid function into it, is intentional.

Just because you can’t literally queue as a raid, doesn’t mean you can’t join as a premade. Because the raid is made beforehand, i.e. it was PRE MADE prior to the BG.

So it’s without a doubt a premade when you organize a team before queuing, for the purpose of doing AV together. Which only alliance and Russian pools can do.

-it naturally makes the theoretical chance to win manipulated in your favor. In other words, it provides an advantage which your opponents can’t perform, which by its very definition makes it unfair , which is prohibited in Blizzard’s CoC.
(Keep in mind that unfair refers to equal opportunity, not unfair as in " multiple opponents ganked me while I was alone, in wpvp". Wpvp is designed to be chaotic in order to emulate a real “world”, while instanced PvP is not.)

Which is why they should just enable queuing as full premades with a Join as Raid option for AV as well.

There, I saved you another scroll.

Except they don’t accept reporting players via tickets anymore. They’ve changed their operations protocols to leave it to the automated right-click system.
Try it and see for yourself.

Also, that another desperate attempt at sophistry is covered by this:

@Bewarê-frostmane

That the lack of punishing people for it should mean that it’s not something they recognize to be a violation of the rules even though it falls under the technical definition of game exploitation in their rules.
That they passively permit it when they haven’t even officially recognized it to be a thing in the first place.

That’s what you’re claiming with your arguments.

Nice one.

So to summarize, you were given a chance to quote yourself to where you made proper substantiated arguments that’d counter the substantive arguments made in the longer post above.

Yet all you came up with was:

Beware out.

Bye, and don’t darken our towels again. Stating your own posts as canon is so very egotistical and disagreeing with that is heresy apparently.

again with the obtuse act? Good luck with that. Grow a brain cell.

[Dottie-thunderhorn (Dottie)]

I already have 100 Billion, why would I need one more?

[Healbot-mirage-raceway]

@Hordeko-stonespine

I’m all for removing that stupid backdoor, as long as Blizzard also removes the possibility of alliance forming premades (there are several easy changes that would still maintain the alliance 0 min que-time.)
They’re both unintended exploits that give an unfair advantage.

Ally premades is a consequence of too many dumbos rolling horde.

Ally premades are horde’s fault.

Don’t say that, Beware will try to deride and demean you. Sorry for not putting the accent on it.

[Bewarê-frostmane]

@Dottie-thunderhorn

Don’t say that, Beware will try to deride and demean you.

You fail miserably at proper argumentation, so you resort to petty ridicule.
Bring the substantiated arguments instead, and grow up. Fool.

[Dottie-thunderhorn (Dottie)]

See?

Still waiting for those substantiated counterarguments.
Feel free to bring them any time now.

[Eldrai-ysondre]

Alliance complain about “exploit” and “backdoor advantage” when some of their fellow player use premade vs pugs or pull Drek solo (but we are here to snowball it so he reset ). Sorry, I can’t feel bad for you xD.

[Dondarion-zandalar-tribe]

Yeah blizzard favours horde and gave them ONLY 30min ques with implementing the crossrealm option. Without that you would wait hours.

[Holystyle-drakthul]

#no changes!

You think you do but you dont!
I have 0 idea about what is this thread mind anyone explain this “exploit”

[Magesarelol-stormscale (Magesarelol)]

@Dondarion-zandalar-tribe

Without that you would wait hours.

Actually, without cross realm on my realm queues would pretty even. Not all servers are one faction dominant.

[Mando-dragonfang]

horde have 2 backdoors, one was possible in vanilla and should not be fixed. One is only possible because of legion client and should be patched

[Rushest-shazzrah]

if allys have longer route to horde base and horde backdoors get fixed too why not

[Mando-dragonfang]

i’m just saying that what didn’t exist back in og vanilla shouldn’t exist here

[Arwy-shazzrah]

@Zepplin-stormscale

Backdoor is a exploit and should be fixed.

blizzard doesnt give a F… if they did, they would have already fixed it.

[Sylvare-argent-dawn (Sylvare)]

If blizzard intended for BG’s to allow a premade raid group to populate the majority of your team then they would have allowed queueing as a raid
The issue is that’s not possible, through process of elimination we can then come to the conclusion that premades is not intentional game design where-as queuesniping for premades is a workaround to that limitation, which can be described as an exploit

Don’t get me wrong both the issues are something that should be adressed imho, however, I don’t think that will fix any of the inherent issues AV has always had, which is two large groups bypassing eachother in a race to the boss.
