I can't see what's fun in doing a world first without competition. (And don't tell me there was competition.The only guild who had their raid reset was Stars.)

I don't go to Paragon's website, I'm speaking off what I've read off forums. Even if that is incorrect, it's nothing more than a bad example on my part. The fact still remains Blizzard creates these situations, does not test new content thoroughly enough, and spends their time working on useless things like new haircuts at the barbershop and /roar emotes than prevent these situations from happening. Those are facts.
Actually it's arguable that nearly EVERY exploit could be repeatable by people other than the exploiters.
Archimonde Stump? Hey not an exploit. Everyone can do it!
Disgusting Oozelings? Again totally fine.
Pretty sure they all didn't accidentally change factions. At the same time. Then reformed and started raiding. It's an exploit and angrily lashing out won't change that.
By that definition nothing would be exploiting, because if you can exploit something I can exploit it too. Every guild from #1 to #10000 knows you can reset your lockouts by transferring, the difference is that other guilds fight with honor while STARS chose to cheat and disqualify themselves from the T12 race. They should kick whoever made this decision, take a summer break, and hope to get some legitimate kills in T13 because honestly everything they do in T12 now will be tainted.
Out of interest, what is Stars homepage? (stars-guild.com gives a 404, and google barely gives a correct hit)
Gratz Stars, if you can kill him then you earned it. Other people are just mad because they didn't think of it lol
What you misunderstand completely. It's not the same people who are putting those "useless" things in that are responsible for encounter design. Do you honestly believe that they benched people from Firelands design to make the new /roar emotes?!? Not everyone is Chris Metzen!
Agree 100% to that!
To summarize all inputs here is.. you yourself decide wheter or not this is world fist.
I personally dont count it since i am a "sportsman", but if any of you feel to consider it a world first thats fine.
My guess is that the genral opinion is not world first. I hope they get their raid id reset and let into the game asap so they can clear normal mode and next wednesday can go on with heroic version again and set new world first if they manage that.
One more proof that Asia rules the world
GG to them, just for the concept !!!
Blizzard will never ban Stars before they race change back to horde, thats a plus ~750$ guys )
In my opinion it was wrong for them to do it. But, I feel they should not get banned for it. And it sounds like Blizzard stopped them from killing any more bosses anyway.
Only reason why you should care about this is because of the kill video will make no sense to you as it is all in TW.
Only thing you will see if a lot of swirly letters and some numbers, but that is about it.
But really, it might not be breaking any WoW rules, but fair play, wtf.
Honestly, who gives a crap, do you guys play the game to impress other people, or to have fun? If your answer is the first - you need to get a life, bigtime.
as much as i think what they did was idiotic. the only competitive advantage they had over other players is on a ranking table on 3rd party websites that track and stroke their epeens over this stuff. unless the server they are on is very competitive for server first kills, then they would have had an advantage over other players in game. however who knows.. people and guilds have been banned for less. mostly though permanent suspensions are only handed out to repeat offenders. or gold sellers.
so are they just gonna keep faction changing over and over to farm gear too when they get stuck on rag?
Exploits is pretty broadly defined as using something for something other than it's primary intention to gain an edge over others. Anyone with engineering could do saronite bomb trick. Anyone who knew how could do the yogg trick, Anyone could do the server-crashing fishing bug. These are all still clearly exploits.
It's a gray area, and it'll be defined by blizz soon enough I imagine.Some exploits are fine, Some are not. It's up to blizzard to decide whether it's allowable or not, not us.
to be fair, STARS and other guilds in Asia had to wait a week or more later before they got patches a while ago, not sure if it`s still like that now, but regardless they always only had shots at the later, harder heroic bosses and killed them before guilds that had a very long time to practice.
so you could say that, in your opinion every other world first ever gotten is wrong, because STARS didn`t have an equal chance at those
but I do agree, I don`t think this should be allowed, but I don`t think it should not be counted either.
It's not a bug, it's a feature friends.
