The bug with the Paladins’ Seal of Truth caused serious discussions on official and unofficial forums, which is not surprising. This bug not only made it possible to kill bosses in a few tens of seconds but also turned PvP into a one-shot show. However, bugs of this kind do not occur very often.
While there aren’t many serious flaws in the game right now, many of them have a big impact on how far players may go. And it’s also upsetting when you’ve been building up your character for a while and then your progress gets lost because of an in-game bug. As a result, a lot of players choose to order wow boost from boosting businesses. Completing raids is part of listening, even though some players prefer not to do it alone. In-game coin purchases, leveling, tutoring, and much more are provided by these businesses. The player saves both time and effort by doing this.
In this post, we would like to remind you of the most famous or interesting bugs of the game, as well as the bans that often accompany them.
Blood of Hakkar
The plague carried outside of ZulGurub, led to complete chaos in the cities. The thing is that the plague spread from player to player simply by being near potential victims. Players who came running to the city after death very quickly became infected again with a very obvious result.
Saronite kaboom
Ensidia became the first guild in the world to kill the Lich King before the killing was discovered to be a bug. It turns out that it was impossible to bomb the Frozen Throne platform with saronite bombs. And the fact that they generally worked on environmental elements is the fault of the players themselves. Guild members received a 72-hour ban, and engineering holders were for some time deprived of the ability to use explosives at all.
Martin’s Fury
In April 2009, a certain Karatechop received a funny package in the mail from GM: a Martin’s Fury shirt, which allowed him to one-shot all enemies within a 30-meter radius. And he did not fail to use it for its intended purpose: Karatechop went to Ulduar and killed a couple of bosses on hard mode. And he received a well-deserved ban. Well, you need to be able to read the lettering on the T-shirts, and the GM mistake is just a small flaw.
Abuse of Raid Search
Events of relatively recent times. Banning an entire group of top guilds for abusing Raid Finder. It doesn’t matter that these guilds farmed the same raid for hours to clothe their players. It is important that this opportunity was not closed in time, and when they came to their senses, they decided to punish everyone.
Evil Overleveler Athene
In WotLK, the legendary paladin Athene managed to level up to level 80 in a record 13 hours after the release of the add-on. Mob pool, exclusion from group, killing mobs = full experience for one person. According to Athene, this method was confirmed by GM as completely legal, but when it came to analyzing the situation, it was conveniently forgotten. 600 days of account ban, but who cares?
Alone in the darkness of the ban
The most brutal hard mode, one of the most difficult in the game – Alone in the Darkness was completed by the Exodus guild. As it turned out, thanks to a bug. Players who remained inside the brain could aggro the faceless ones that appeared in the third phase, making it much easier to kill the boss. The result of a 72-hour ban and the removal of Mimiron’s head from the lucky person’s inventory. The community’s reaction to this matter is very indicative, and it always remains the same. There is no official punishment yet, and even if it is known that World-First was made thanks to a bug, the pioneer players are praised in every possible way. But as soon as official sanctions follow, buckets of caustic mucus are poured onto the heads of unfortunate bug users.
Swifty and his support group
Blizzard loves in-game events. They are not even against the annual Player Pride Parades, but only as long as we are talking about a reasonable scale of these events. Mr. Swifty crossed that very mysterious line of rationality, holding another event. For which he paid with a ban. It turns out that such concentrations of players have a detrimental effect on the performance of servers, and therefore should be punished most terribly.
How thin is the line between legal use of game mechanics and criminal abuse? So be careful, it’s not that hard to tell one from the other. Use bugs or errors wisely. If you think that a bug may affect gameplay and give an advantage to players, then immediately report it to the developers.
