So I am sure some of you know that yesterday groups have been running 40v40 in darkshore, however doing something special, 39v39, once side killing the other, then with the 40th person mass rezzing, then going back and forth, allowing for an honor level every 5 minutes on average.
With this having been a thing, many people used this and quickly reached 500 honor level, basically invalidating the whole system.
however some of us like me went "ok that is an exploit, it is going to be rolled backed or banned" as it is both exploitive, and what some may consider win trading.
I ask you lot today what you lot think about it, as now we have an issue, blizzard added something, people exploited it, blizz fixed it, and those people have not been punished. This is not a good thing for the game, because is inspires people in the future to PURPOSELY exploit things, to get as much out of it before its fixed, because "well I was not punished in the past."
This could be a big issue for the future if they keep having stuff pop up, people exploit, and then it is fixed, and those who did not do it are left in the dust, as the ones who did the exploit are not punished, a system like that inspires exploiting.
Think of it as an ATM, people withdraw money, suddenly they start getting extra 100$ bills. The bank records who does and work on a fix.
You find out and turn in your 100$, it is then fixed.
They all get to keep their money, without any punishment, but you handed in your 100$ so you dont, you did the right thing and are punished for it, while others did the wrong thing of not handing in the wrongly given money, and are rewarded for it. This inspires people to do the opposite of what they should be.
TL: DR= People are being rewarded with hundreds if not thousands of hours of saved time, FOR EXPLOITING. While those who refrained are punished by blizzard.
I forgot to make 2 more choices of
"Ban them and fix it"
and
"Rollback their honor levels and fix it"
So example.
I just did a 1 hour 25 minute AV.
gave 1250 honor.
1 minute of this darkshore win trading gives as much as an hour and half AV VICTORY
