I’ve collected several screenshots from battlegrounds which show that the queue system is being broken by XP-off exploiters. 17v13 Arathi Basins, 11v9 Gilneas matches, the list goes on. It is caused by twinks exploiting and ‘tricking’ the game into letting them join an xp-on BG, whilst having their XP turned off.
I’m trying to bring this to the attention of fellow players on the Battleground forum but I am unable to post any of my screenshots, and therefore I cannot verify my claims. Everybody thus thinks I am speaking gobbledygook.
Surely there is a way for me to share these screenshots, straight from screenshots folder, on the forum? Attempts to upload these screenshots to imgur tell me that I am not allowed to post links.
Imgur should be fine.
I imagine you get the “not allowed to post links” message on the wow forums ? You can enclose the url in backticks here (by using the ‘preformatted text’ button).
it won’t show as a thumbnail or link, but it will show the full URL.
Most people are handy enough to be able to drag&drop that to their addressbar or tabbar to visit it.

Aah thanks for that Sandsh, I will give that a try now!
Except:
-
This is the wrong place to report exploiters.
-
Its not permitted to name and shame (forum rules), and their names will be visible in a screenshot.
-
(Edited to add) I don’t believe screenshots are accepted as evidence by Blizzard anyway. They can be edited, see. Blizzard only use their own systems for evidence.
The correct way to report exploiters is to right click on their name and choose “Report player for…”, or to send your evidence via email to hacks@blizzard.com
I’m not reporting exploiters. In what way is the exploiter in particular visible in this screenshot below? It could be any of the 20 people in that BG.

The purpose of me posting the screenshot is to draw attention to an over-looked consequence of those exploiting the XP on/off system. It is fooling the game into creating lopsided teams.
And anyway, Blizzard are not banning any of these exploiters as far I am aware. The same exploiters have been playing all day for weeks now.
It’s a well known thing and I’m sure Blizzard will figure out who is doing this and ban them for 6 months.
No doubt after they do the cheaters will come to the forums and complain that they were using game mechanics only and get laughed at, like those using the XP potion bug a few months ago.
