So link the blue post then?
The one i saw said that the raid resetting was a completely different bug than the dungeon layer exploit.

Side note for the curious: that was a completely separate bug that has existed since 2004, and actually happened several times back then, it just wasnât being broadcast to thousands of viewers at the time.
The reset bug wasnât new either.
Actually this was intended, and I donât consider this a failure. Iâd argue it was a bad thing to go with layers, although Iâm pretty sure I know why they did, but personally Iâd rather have that dodgy âcanât level properly for weeksâ-experience than all of the things that has happened thus far.
But they did say before the launch that they had several servers on standby ready to be activated should the need arise, so this was all planned and not a rushed reaction.
Itâs vice versa in PvP, the bulk of the boosts arenât done in gold but with RL money. Of course itâs against the ToS, but thatâs the way the cookie crumbles and have done so for years.
It just so happened to resemble layer hopping, be triggered by hopping layers, and be much more frequent now than it was in vanilla.
Sure is funny how that works.
Yeah thatâs the post where they say the raid resetting was a different bug, they also clearly state that the layer exploit was about infinitely farming a dungeon boss, not a raid soo
I think they undestimated the demand for Classic, they clearly had a lot more people coming back who didnât try to reserve names. I donât think weâll ever get an official clarification on that.
We could have had double the starter servers and still there would have been the need to create more.
Facepalm.
Reset bug was common back then yes, but reset bug means some bosses randomly spawned.
When your raid refreshed each time you invite nonID character - its not a raid reset bug, its a layer abuse bug. I can not really believe people trust every worde without even thinking. Whatever, stay in your believers cave.
Then what stops you to report them?! You are crying because ânothingâ is done, yet ⊠passively you are supporting the exploiters with this mentality.
âŠor maybe, they are your friends?!
It was indeed a different bug but many feel that streamers get preferential treatment even though they donât.
Preach, for example, was punished for exploiting in Retail, not only did he lose access to his account he was also uninvited from the summit Blizz held for content creators and streamers.
So you only reply to the first paragraph? Ok.
Was hoping to see something more concrete about the other paragraphs, but beggars canât be choosers I suppose.
I guess this is all youâll have to say about it, even though
Sure, their official stance on it is that âif theyâre caughtâ but then we get into the nitty-gritty of spending actual effort to catch them, which has been severely lacking sometimes. (Some seasons theyâve done a decent job, but other seasons not so much. They also spend more effort disqualifying the higher the boost was, so r1 is pretty well-guarded, gladiator a little less, and 2.4k lets a lot of boosts fly under the radar. Pre-BfA that is, havenât kept track of the ladders and the players since I havenât been playing in BfA.)
The organizations providing these PvP boosts for RL cash didnât spring up over night, theyâve been operating smoothly for years. Feel free to check 'em out. Then try to tow the company line again like that, with empty platitudes.
and this too of course. So thus far, in this short interaction, youâve 1. ignored arguments, and 2. quite literally spewed platitudes, that is more of a non-answer than anything else to the question you were trying to answer.
He should be banned but also should be clonked over the head for basically maxing out and ruining the game for himself for the next few months.
Layer hopings = exploiting
Want to stop it? Report people who spam chat with âlayer inv plsâ.
Punyelf is totally wrong about banwave.
No bans have happened yet.
This one screenshot that has been used as âevidenceâ is either irrelevant to raid and dungeon boss exploit or just fake.
When the real banwave hits, you will notice several posts here and in Reddit about âgot banned, not my faultâ.
Honestly, itâs impossible to tell whether youâre right or Puny is right yet. Thereâs too little information available still, so one can only speculate.
Well he didnât as it didnât work for raids so thatâs just a lie
His âhomieâ doesnât existâŠ

Layer hopping isnât against the rules and has an hour cool down anyway.
I really hope that it will happensâŠ
Rn Blizz is in a very bad shape, they are so slow that it actually amazes me.
I know that the classic project was not easy, above all being so much different and dificult than their last âworkâ, but holy blight, they screw up as hell and doesnt even care so far it seems.
Its a shame because the peeps working on it looked like they were enjoying the idea but⊠Dont know wtf happened.
They were not created for that purpose, people are exploiting this system.
any evidence for all this?
