    It's exactly how the system is supposed to work. 3 people ended up in a LFR run with 22 saved people. The only ones that get loot are the 3 unsaved people.
    Next run another group of 3 people gets loot etc.

    The people that already got loot can stay in the raid for next LFR run because that's how the system works. They won't get any gear though.

    To put it another way, what do you think would happen if you queue LFR and end up in a raid with 24 other people who are all saved (lol, like that will ever happen)? I'll tell you, you get absolutely everything that drops, because that's how the system works.

    Sure, in pugs that's unlikely to happen but most top guilds can easily put together a group of 22 alts that can clear LFR. Say you have 39 raiders, 13 of each token. You run LFR 13 times, the 22 alts and 3 new mains each time. NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

    You see, the difference is that you're still at the mercy of RNG, you can still, as one of the 3 mains, only get loot in one run, and if it happens to only drop vanquisher and agi leather and you're a warrior ... oh well.

It's not like any laws were broken or anyone lost money. Some people just got a lot more loot. Big deal.
    Ya huh sure you do. First of all theres a difference between a game and your little company. Games are competitive. Games have rules. Just like in sports, if you get caught cheating, you pay the price.

    what makes me mad. Is that players like myself who is in a progression guild tried this ONCE to see if blizzard accualy were stupied enough to realease content with such a massive BUG. And yes we tried it once we stopped, then we laughed at blizzard for making such a obvious mistake. But we stopped, we did not continue you abuse the system in anyway. But still several of our players got a 8 day bann. Again blizz talk about beeing lazy

    There was a man who robbed liquor store ones he got 3 months in Jail
    THEN there was a man who continuously robbed 15 diffrent liquours stores he got 3 years in JAIL

    I already hate blizzard, but when they pass out banns you have to justify between abusing and harrasing the system several times, and how some guilds like us wanted to see if it worked and stopped after doing it 1 time. It's unfair. For you people saying " OH IM GLAD you got banned" Well if i get 8 days, paragon should i get 80. There is a huge diffrence between Abuse, and Curiosity, Especially when blizzard made this obvious mistake, they have to MAN up and say ok theese guys did it once, ofcourse they wanted to test it out we are all human we cant blame them, and then we have the people who should be banned for 8 days who did this 10-20 times.

    Sorry, you deserved your bans. While your "tactic" was clever indeed, you really should have thought about what you were doing. Fact, you were cheating the system. Enjoy your bans. And I hope someone who has never gotten a world first, gets one. Not like I care about world or sever firsts anyway, but clearly, you people do.

    And to the people who say "we just dabbled in it and stopped". #1 Cool story. #2 Did you report the bug immediately via a ticket?

    This punishments needs to hurt, otherwise people will do it again.
    No suspension and gear removal only for example would have been no loss for them.
    It needs to hurt or you just look at risk vs. reward. Without a big punishment, you would try it again everytime you have the chance about.
    Now maybe the people will think twice before doing it.

    Yeah, just because I left the door open I basicly told you to come into my house and steal my TV.

    You don't go into the street and smack someone in the face because you don't like him. And then when the police comes round your house to pick you up, you tell them: "Well, nobody stopped me from doing it, so merely thought I was allowed to do it!".

    Since freaking day 1 getting loot from a raid more than once a week has been something that's not possible, allowed or whatever you want to call it. Those who participated in these actions knew damn well they were doing something that wasn't allowed.

    Those who de-subscribe now, please, do so, good riddance, your view on morals and 'justice' are off, wrong and utterly f*cked, we're happy to see the lot of you turn away. And if you claim the Heroic World First race is fucked now? Well MAYBE you should've given that some thought BEFORE you exploited something?

    Sure sounds wierd to me

    (And no my point is not that guils that cheat should get away with it.)
    EU players are smarter?
    US Players didn't care too much maybe... Wow Progress reflected only US guilds at the top, since US had a head start on the patch.

    I dunno. but it's sure an interesting pattern.

    I rest my case.

    I hope they didn't let the people that profited with loot keep it, no sense banning them and letting them keep the "stolen" loot.

    It's been described in detail about 20 times in this thread. Anyway, Blizz hotfixed it now.

    He never said he did that, but talked about good players as a whole.

    I honestly hope you get a long term ban someday for something you didn't do, just so
    some people on the forum can point out your immensely bulging stupidity.

    The only one to blame here is you, for small minded, ignorant, lame as ____ forum comments.

    How is disagreeing trolling? Also it's 50% (just making up numbers).
