Lionheart Season of Mastery Realm Temporarily Offline due to Transfer Exploit

If only Blizzard had the money and the resources to fully test their products.

Blizz defence force at work in this thread.
Blizzard made a mistake (happens) so players "abused" it to have some fun and make it clear there was an issue.
Both are at fault, first Blizzard for sloppy coding and secondly the players who abused the mistake.
Cause and effect. If Blizzard had done their job in the first place this wouldn't have happened.

Blizzard should return the money spent on those transfers and permaban these accounts.

Blizzard's poor quality control is causing WoW to suffer, to put any blame for this on the community is sorely misplaced; this problem is the sole responsibility on the the developer. Demanding Blizzard permanently ban players for a situation cause by a developer oversight is laughable.

Just to be clear I'm not saying Blizzard is not at fault here, of course they are. However as you say, doesn't mean people are allowed to abuse it. The only argument I'm making is towards people saying it's 100% Blizzard's fault, and that those that abused the transfer bug did nothing wrong.

Haha well done. Typical Classic spirit: Cheats, bots and exploits all the way.

Sure, it is a quality control issue but you also have to realize that it also is a deliberate attempt by some players to exploit the game and get one up on other players.

The mantra of wowplayers: Exploit fast and exploit often. Without severe repercussions nothing's gonna change.

Crazy something something crazy.

And then they took those 100's to wall street and bet on the stock market you fucking schmuck.

You make it sound like they didn't actively take what they DIDNT EARN and applied it unfairly to other people.

You're a problem and probably a trump voter and it's disgusting that you think that's acceptable and your "logical conclusion" ends short of full application of the whole point.

Fucking whoosh dude. Whoosh.

You're insulting me for basically saying the same as what you are saying? Think you need to go through the thread again and read what I posted and what the person I quoted was trying to claim.

Put a gun in act 1.

Someone gonna use said gun in act 2, just deal with it.


Its 100% Blizzard fault, its LITERALLY their job and they are paid for it, subscription + store shop, freaking millions to bobby, they must spare scrubs for some janitor to pay him to test and find exploits, random Joe #34 would be able to guess that such thing is possible.

Nothing will ever be 100% bug free and fool proof. While Blizzard is definitely partly to blame, it doesn't mean abusing a bug is allowed and should not go without repurcusions.

I mean, I’ll gladly jump on Blizz for messing up, and this is obviously a huge blunder on their side, but the peope who went out of their way to deliberately grief others should just go and DIAF.

The only redeeming factor in their actions would be if they first reported the issue to Blizzard and then nothing happening for a week or so. If that happened, it’s free hunting season afterwards and shame on Blizz.

Only Blizzard is allowed to exploit their own game.

Just when you think Blizzard couldn't make an even bigger joke of itself

That's below the belt though. Or should we say: below the painting.

The game is run for by and at blizzard's pleasure, what players can and cannot do is the same. It is axiomatic that blizzard is resultantly incompetent or negligent to the loophole.

To focus on the moral failings of some few unscrupulous individuals who exploited a problem of blizzard's making instead of the failing of said multi-billion dollar corporation. Is unconsidered corporatism at best or disingenuous copium at worst.

This doesn't even sound like bug is the right word, I'm not a computer programmer but I gotta imagine stopping transfers from certain realms shouldn't really be that challenging.

I'm actually legitimately surprised blizzard found a way to make the season of mastery even more pathetic
