WoW Classic are also punishing cheaters and leaving no room for mercy

Blizzard are handing out punishments to World of Warcraft Classic players who used an exploit in order to farm dungeons and raids more effectively.

It’s bad news for those who have been exploiting a certain bug in WoW Classic, as the development team is bringing out the ban hammer and bringing it down hard on cheaters. Hell hath no fury like a dev team scorned.

Blizzard have now announced that they have fixed the bug and are deploying the update worldwide. They also stated, however, that any players who deliberately abused the bug will be identified and be issued with an appropriate punishment.

The bug in question involved players exploiting the game’s layering system, meaning that players could skip entire dungeons and repeatedly kill the dungeon boss in order to obtain disproportionate amounts of loot.

Community Manager Lore also took to the forums to explain how Blizzard determine whether players should be punished for benefitting from bugs, stating that they consider whether the players in question had to perform specific actions to deliberately cause the bug, and whether they did so with the intention of benefitting from it.

“This recent glitch makes a pretty clean example. The players who were abusing it had to do some Very Weird Stuff to cause it to occur, and then did so repeatedly. No reasonable person would expect that this behavior was intended, and the players involved had to go out of their way to cause it. It’s obviously unintended, it’s obviously a glitch, and the people who abused it were obviously exploiting said glitch for their own benefit. That’s pretty open and shut.”

For those who may be worried that they’ve accidentally exploited a bug and are now on a one-way road to ban-ville: don’t be. In order to abuse the bug, players would have to take extremely specific steps. The chances of a non-cheating player replicating these steps is almost non-existent.

It is worth noting, though, that Blizzard will punish deliberate exploits retroactively, so if you discover a way of abusing a bug, doing so may well come back to bite you.
