deliberate exploit, i know what old blizzard would have done

Not only is it a deliberate exploit, it is also increasing the queue time for all the players who are not doing it. Blizzard should give the exploiters a few days of Christmas vacation from the game.

Sadly old Blizzard is no longer a company that exists.

There is a bug report section of the forums.
Report it there.

They remove Classic problems from there since they don’t care about it.

waiting all day for a response still nothing :confused: kinda sad that they havent done anything yet or responded
 surely we are due at least some sort of explanation as to whether this is allowed or not? in the mean time people are blasting wsg with 0 queue time ruining the honor system.

wtf blizzard how did this slip you by? this is an insane exploit in regards to honor farming.

I just checked up on the exploit because I got curious, and
 it’s unbelievable that this retail legacy works for Classic.
But not really surprising since it just goes to show they did just copypasta retail’s queue system over to Classic, with a few changed parameters here and there for the matchmaking. (The rest are just cosmetic changes to make it seem different even though it isn’t.)

The only question is, will anyone get banned for it?
Or does it fall under “clever use of game mechanisms”?

I didn’t see anything reliably about actual punishments dished out for the layer exploits, and now this is getting exploited. (Look up how it works before you say it isn’t an exploit, please. Because it is granting a competitive advantage in the rank push and messing up the queue times for the ones not using it, even though it’s just “cleverly” using what the retail legacy functions brought with it by Blizzard themselves.)

Blizzard’s message just seems to be more and more to “Abuse it while you still can”.

yup its completely screwed some of the brackets this week
 really unfair people who did their work are going to get delayed a week on their rank14’s and so on

Ye gads, a legitimate complaint!
Shame it’s gonna get ignored just like the rest.

That would probably be specifically why Blizzard aren’t fixing it, can’t have those who draw the copycat crowd disadvantaged now, can you.

If you want the devs to see something post it on Twitter, they read stuff there. Blizzard employees, including mods, rarely come here.

If this is being done then it’s an exploit, remember the XP potion one earlier this year?

Expect the same punishments.

2 man group gets in line (queue).
2 man group invites others as they exit a BG

How is that an exploit?

Leave that server!

Exploit or not it should definitely be prevented. How this works right now means that you absolutely have to use this trick to compete as Horde. That is terrible game design. Also this will take over on all of the servers and the only alternative will be to play Alliance.

Calling it an exploit would make it possible to prevent it without actually fixing the game. Beyond that I don’t think it matters.

Do you not suffocate with that helm?

We need an answer blizzard, is it a bannable offense? Or should we start exploiting this to get on the same level of those already doing it ? @BLIZZARD

cant understand how this isnt the easiest of fixes
 just say theyre going to ban people and then people stop
