Stars Heroic Shannox World First Kill, Blue Posts

[Kisuro]

Well they got removed from the instance and banned, so that takes care of that.

Any source on that? I'm curious, because I'd actually like for that to be true.

[adamzz]

consider about fair, why blz dont make it fair on update time of the world.
if TW server is always behind the world, it means they can hardly get chance to make first kiss.
no fair on the first kiss between different server like this.
quote your sentence, come on get it fair, don't cheat the player.

Engrish much?

TW was 2 days behind US on 4.2 release and 1 day behind EU which were 1 day behind US.
That's NOTHING, they just cheated the system to get a week headstart on heroics, that's why they are getting their heads bashed, if they did it on a Tuesday when US gets their heroics started then I'm certain that people wouldn't mind.

[Typhron]

God, this thread.This probably wouldn't be such a problem if the "World First" tag wasn't attached. Exceptions, rules, in the end there are people at fault on both sides and nobody wants to admit who. And the severity (or importance) is of the exploiting (or lack of bugfixing) is lost because people have their Blizzard/WoW/Guild/region blinders on.

So glad I stopped playing when everyone kicks up this much of a shitstorm for something simple like this. Only winning move was not to play.

[Freezeframe]

Doesn't count, they exploited a feature of the game, i.e. cheated, so this is a waste of a post. Don't track crap. I just killed a worg using Thunderfury, wearing a pink dress, and used the rainbow generator trinket while I /kissed my mojo frog. And I had 4 dwarven women doing a sword dance around me, after using the archy item. All of this at once. I'm pretty sure that's world first. That's just as noteworthy as this kill.

That was....creative.

[Suzakku]

Grats to them. If anything Blizz should just lock them out for 2 weeks now. that seems fair. =P

I fucked up this post editing it, but no i dont have an official source but its true. we will have to wait for official word. Basically i cant say who told me

[adamzz]

I'm reading all of these rage comments about how it's sooo unfair that they got the kill this way and I can't help but wonder how many of them were actually in the running for this race anyway. Seriously, if you weren't one of the guilds that finished normals and were ready to head into heroics next week, why the hell do you care?

I'm in one of the guilds that finished normals on the first day, US got the kills 1 day before us but that's fine. Cheating and getting Heroics one WEEK is not fine, that's like buying the kills, they didn't earn any World First.

Xdmini - Outland if you don't believe that I killed Ragnaros before you did.

[braiel]

honestly they deserve a ban blizz changed it ages ago when ensidia and a few other guilds were blamed for server hopping to get realm firsts etc. that your lockouts would save when you server transfer i don't see why star's kill should be treated any differently they changed shit so people couldn't reset lockouts they found a loophole and abused it.

[Dillusion]

I don't see what all the fuss is about. Yeah it's a drastic move but this is what happens when the content becomes too easy for hardcore gamers and comes too slow. If Blizz doesn't want this to happen then change the FC mechanics. I give props to these guys. I think it's neat to be dedicated to a game so much to actually drop money to be able to keep progressing and enjoying the game. Not something I would do and I do raid but I'm also not so set on being a world first gamer. Take it as a lesson to make the changes necessary so it doesn't happen again if it isn't supposed to work this way. This has be done before. I've known quite a few people who have done this especially for Shadowmourne in Wotlk and in Cata as well. Of course not an entire guild. Having 25+ people FC all the sudden right after a patch.... from the same server and faction.... shouldn't that have caused some attention from Blizz before they entered the raid again?

Props again guys keep making things interesting

[Paranoid Android]

Why would blizz ban them.. they got money out of it... they dont give 2 shits as long as their making money.

Yeah its shady. Its really, really bending the rules but Blizz just got more money. I think they don't care but will and probably do something because I'm sure most of the wow community will have alot backlash over this.

[Chucknourishh]

stars will lose to enigma paragon ensidia, etc just bc there so worried about not doing well as fas as worls firsts go that they had to faction change

[Azidonis]

This has been going on since Faction Change was introduced. It won't stop until Blizzard makes the raid IDs transfer with the Faction Change. At any rate, it's just trashy play. The real Heroic Ladder starts Tuesday, and these guys will have to start again from the beginning, as will everyone else. Best of luck to them in the real race... may Paragon stop a mud-hole in their asses.

[ElAmigo]

The level stupidity in this thread is ridiculous. It goes against blizzards policy for any paid services to grant any non vanity advantages in the game. And to say that blizzard won't do anything against this because it means "they will be admitting they're wrong" then, once again, you don't know what you're talking about or your totally ignorant on the matter at hand (redundant but you get my point). When players find bugs, exploit them, get banned, and the bug gets fixed by blizzard, that is them admitting they're wrong and they're fixing the problem. This is an oversight by blizzard and it goes against their policy meaning this will end up getting fixed.

You are comparing a one-day headstart with a one-week headstart, it's a really retarded comparison and you should be ashamed by even trying to defend STARS.

one-day vs one-week is not what I was talking about. I talking about time frames that top guilds need to get their world first kill. all of top guilds never start at the same line. What Stars did was just put them a week ahead so they get earlier start just like how US guilds get their server up. Unless they use full week to pratice and get the kill,THEN they actually have one-week headstart. if their kill took less than a day to get then this is not what you call a one-week headstart. They just showed you, they CAN possibly get their world first if they in US servers.

one-day head start, No, one HOUR head start is already a big handicap for the top guilds, they can do all sorts of amazing things in just that small time frame. This is a good wake up call for people to reconsider how to treat a kill as world first kill. it wasn't globally fair to begin with. This is why Paragon is respected because they still got the world first kill before US guilds.

[Steelyorc]

We learned of Stars doing this within 20 mins of them faction transferring and an agreement was made on IRC between us, Paragon and some other top guilds that we would not use this tactic and wait for a fair race next week.They won't be listed on wowprogress for these kills so they are out of the race as far as the other top guilds are concerned. The problem comes if they get their kill(s) removed but are still able to compete legitimately next week. They will have a lot more heroic experience than the rest of us and so still be at an advantage. If they are allowed to keep their gear they will have an even bigger advantage.It's funny because of the whole storm Stars kicked up over our atramedes kill, accusing us of using an exploit we didn't even know about (LoSing the modulation) and concluding by telling us to 'fight with honour'. The level they have stooped to here is about as dishonourable as you can get.

/end thread..seriously...this wraps it for me

[Nudi]

Boubouille, you are rapidly approaching your 8000th post. I wonder.. does anyone on this forum have more posts than you? And are you going to do anything to celebrate this momentous milestone?

Pagmat, there are people who have well over 10000 and 11000 posts, so no, I don't think there will be any celebration.

[Zdrasti]

PVPers need to wait a full week after a big patch for their arena season to start. Why not make raiders wait a few days?

Implement the big patch and have normal mode turned on with launch, but hard mode disabled. Then once every region finishes with their patch and are all clearly stable, at some fixed time, turn the switch on for hard mode for everyone at the same time. And make it so you don't have to clear normal mode to do hard mode, cause really, every guild can make that call for themselves.

Just to explain my point more clearly, I'll walk it through with an example. Weekly maint goes as usual and servers come up. Anyone who wants to try normal modes is welcome to go for it when their server comes up. Since TW is the last region and they come up on Thursday, agree that say noon GMT on Friday is the time that heroic mode is turned on for everyone simultaneously. This way the guilds that want to be in the running for heroic modes leave a raid group unsaved and wait patiently for the race to start on Friday and when Blizzard turns on the switch, they all can start the race at exactly the same time.

Other guilds can get to the same point in around 1 week from when they killed the boss ergo a week head start. How long it actually took them doesn't mean they actually transferred say 1 hour before US maintenance ends instead of when they actually did. Also had they not been locked out they could have used the entire lockout to progress further. Your logic astounds me.

I think you're just bitter that they can tell you to "fight with honour" and then turn around and rape you and every other guild in Firelands.
