Mercing cheats horde cheats (some)

PVP Battlegrounds

so join IOC target ws called, notice 7 stay in base and go turrets. No damage no activity, call for them as afk next second i get kicked. Notice similar names who have done this before afk in base.

IOC about an hour later same 6 go afk in base at start, though they are there at keyboard as when i pointed out that I asumed they were afk i get instantly kicked,

so alliance start without 6 or 7 at ws at start, and basically the game.

This time I took their names and did a wow profile they all horde.

surely there is a way to report blatent cheating, misuse of kick etc.

On this forum 6-7 players got in touch with me for ru alliance bgs. You can get in touch with me too.

Some days win rates are around 77% some days 85%.

None of the factions win 100%.

If you play russian horde your epic bg win rate will be as much as 60%. Its not 100% too. Only 60%.

On ioc we go 40 players to workshop. For those who get in afk at bg start , we kick them from epic. And whenever they get in epic again we kick them when gates open too. They can never get in ru bgs.

I was in an IOC earlier today and someone called out a handful of players were at keep cannons afk. Didnā€™t notice what happened to the person that called it, or those in the keep allegedly afk.

If what OP says is correct, then to me thatā€™s about as low as you can get.
Deliberately reducing one sideā€™s numbers in a BG, possibly calling out info to the opposition, misuse of reporting players afk simply because theyā€™ve spotted your little scheme.

Report them.

Many thanks,

tried to resist, please give Rammin- Azeuremyst a friend request, will not be on until tomorrow.

Went back on later and joined a wg, same crew afk in the turrets.

Starting off 35 maximum v 40 on bgs will always put alliance at a big disadvantage.

What I dont understand is what they gain from it, they are not bots, different servers, so persume different people.

one name rhymes with hurt me mon 3 are boomies 1 dk and rogue, checking others.

I really donā€™t get why people would do this either. Not only is it just a spit in the face of a game mechanic designed to bring down our queue time, itā€™s a complete waste of time, literally.

This sort of thing has to be reported, in-game or on the forums.
Something has to be done whether itā€™s Blizzard action against the players concerned or even getting rid of mercenary option. If itā€™s not, people will just stop playing BGs reducing the number of Alliance players and making horde queue times even longer.

Might seem a laugh or an easy victory for those concerned but down the line itā€™s counter-productive.

Itā€™s one thing to lose a BG against a team who are better than you, itā€™s another thing where thereā€™s cheating involved. Undermines the whole game.

I am merch and i love to sit in cannons and shoot ally, i donā€™t se a problem with that at all, cannons is there for a reason.

I donā€™t think theyā€™re actually talking about using cannons to take out the enemy. :stuck_out_tongue:

What theyā€™re talking about is pointless sabotage. Itā€™s horrible gaming etiquette and no doubt the people who do this kind of thing are actually terribly naff irl.

nah true sitting in canons is fine, becuse they do high dmg, problem is those who eighter never take an orb, never tries to get flag back, just fights in middle, or just stands in base, and even if you try to report them afk, they then move and hit some one and the repeat.

theese same person also in epic bgs, most of the time stand in base and do nothing, but due to horde being there you can not even report them afk.

I have even once seen one clapp at the horde, when they took flag in WSG, and when I confronted them about it, they just said who cares we loose anyways.

11

But they not just sitting in cannons bombarding horde, they doing nothing apart from shooting into space. .02% damage in bgs etc.

It also severely handicaps alliance from winning the mid fight with 5 or more absent sitting in base, one bg there was 8 in turrets at start.

mercs need to be branded so ally can see if they are participating, or whole idea of using mercs needs a re-work.

12

Merch is there for faster que and 50% more honor, i donā€™t belive in sabotage like u do.

13

Yes you may believe all mercs are honorable, but it is exactly what happened, and one of them is a serial offender.
You have to admit you always going to get the odd bad one, but I didnt expect it on such scale.

I dont really see how its cheating, dick behaviour sure but not cheating
It would be cheating if they got a win for it but theyre losing too
Treat them as bots and punish accordingly

I donā€™t get this whole ā€˜mercā€™ thing anyway? Arenā€™t ally and horde SUPPOSED to be separate factions that fight AGAINST EACH OTHER?

Why loosen this thing so much that it becomes meaningless?

I think ally and horde should be separated even MORE.

No mercs, no ally vs. ally in arenas (only ally vs. horde), no two-faction-chars allowed - if you start a char on another faction, it will delete all your chars in the first faction you chose, and you can never go back again.

Or just donā€™t let people choose any other faction after theyā€™ve made their choice.

I know there are -always- ways around such limitations, but itā€™s tiresome to create more and more accounts, and it becomes expensive if you want to really play. And hey, this way, blizz would get more money, too. If one player has to use two accounts and thus pay double to play both factions, maybe theyā€™ll reconsider doing it.

At least SOMETHING should be done so that one player couldnā€™t be a traitor and collaborator so easily and have two faction chars. CHOOSE A FACTION AND THEN BE THAT FACTION instad of flip-flopping all over the place, sheesh.

Also, goldshire guards should be WAY tougher, so that no horde can just waltz in and stay in goldshire without problems.

To this effect, horde should ALWAYS be forced PvP on when they come to ANY Ally Zone, because why would 120 need to be on ally zone? I can understand it in leveling, you sometimes have to be on both factionsā€™ zones or even neutral or contested ones, but when youā€™re 120, thereā€™s NO excuse.

At least make goldshire a ā€œPvP for horde is forced onā€-zone.

SO MUCH COULD BE DONE!

they were back afk in an AV tonight 4 were balance druids 3 of 5 same honour level maybe boxers, since 3 had exact honour level.

I was on that wintergrasp 10 minutes ago as 3 russian alliance player. We all left.

We were 29 players and I told them not to attack horde , move base to base and dont give kills to horde so that they cant make machines.

But 15 players went sunken ring instead of waiting to get full.

Then horde made siege engines started destroying tower.

I told priest raidleader what kind of rl are you? Not controling your raid and not inviting them to voice chat to coordinate.

I spit on him and left.

He was just typing on bg chat

We were on same bg it seems.
