Depending on my mood I'd find it hilariously clever or a gut wrenching waste of time. But as it hasn't happened to me, good show. Nothing like a good troll. Makes LFR bearable when you make your own fun.
Failing for such a simple thing shows if you have skilled or stupid ppl in raid. Heck i stil drop direbrews remote for laughs. You would be suprised how many ppl get into brd stil.
But there is another funny thing. If you have a lock friend tell him too jump down off the elegon plathon and get ported back. Then tell the other players too jump. You would be suprised how stupid some ppl are too fall for a simple trick.
But if you are for example playing a priest and you stay in middle when elegon removes ground under your feet and you lifegrip some other player too die with you... well thats grifing.
If ppl are stupid = thats not grifing
If ppl die from your ability = thats it grifing
Portal in your situation is not.....
Don't sweat the details!!!
It can and it can't.
It's not technically against the ToU.
However, if enough people report you, Blizzard has no choice but to give you warning/suspension/whatever the next step on the pyramid is for you for griefing.
made a gatewa once at feng (since i allways do) retard did klick on it -> pulled the boss .. i got blamed
blingtron at elegon hmm never did that, simply since i think mr. bling is mine and i don't like sharing it.
the portal to dalaran is just beeing a kid, hated it with hagara, hate it when they pop it in the main raid (one of the main reasons why i allways use teleport stone and never gave a mage dark intend in cata ^^)
People who are being framed by this are weak and stupid. It's a funny joke, nothing more and nothing less.
It's like: Oh Blingtron 4000, I gonna have, I gonna have *forgets that he is in raid*
portals can be annoying but using blingtron during an encounter to get everyone to fall down is just god damn hilarious
Hilarity every time .
As I see it, yes, you are griefing.
If you were in my guild, I'd kick you... if you were on my realm I'd announce what you did in tradechat, AND tell your guildleader... if you were some schmuck from another realm, I'd make a toon and provide your guildleader with the information what you've done...
of course, all that would happen AFTER I filed a report with the GM...

This is funny!
And to all the crying whiny little babies in here, boohooo. If the entire raid wants to click blingatron during the fight when dbm says "FLOOR WILL DESPAWN IN 6 SECONDS"
I say they deserve everything they get.
No one outside your own guild would give a shit. And most people on trade would most likely tell you to shut up, especially if you do it on another realm as a lvl 1.
It's really sad that you waste the time of guild leaders with your bitterness and stuff they couldn't care any less about.
Well... I wouldn't be harsh, but if I had your level of finality, I would more likely kick the ones who are not paying attention to the raid and are willing to sacrifice raid progress just to click on Blingtron. Nobody made them click on him, that was their own fault. And in LFR, the people "smart" enough to go after Blingtron while the platform was down would probably be the same people who failed to that mechanic anyways. People who aren't paying attention to their feet and environment.
So no, I don't believe it should be bannable. He was just being Darwin's instrument for weeding out the bads.

It's not the fault of the player. If Blizzard didn't want you use Blingtron in a raiddungeon, then they had to restrict using it in raids. So the next logical step, if it's really a problem, which i doubt, is to update Blingtron so i can't be used in (raid)dungeons anymore.
