Blizzard is an indie game company we can’t expect them to be able to roll out suspensions or bans.
The best example of this type of exploit was Ensidia on Lich King using Saronite bombs to rebuild the platforms. Clearly wrong and hit with a 3 day ban.
Hot take: No one should get banned, hotfix the bug instead.
If integrity was important then why release the game like this? Speed running is the most competition form of gaming, and you will find that most communities have universally agreed that exploits are allowed.
from what ive heard, this shit been reported since beta, and its not fixed yet, so lmaoooooooooooo
the "massive" dps increase is a 4% increase btw lol
I don't agree with removing ALL addons – for example, if this includes things such as Total RP 3, for those who roleplay – but I can agree with banning things like weakauras an DBM in particular, for the sake of making fights simpler.
When are we getting a playthrough of the new raid??
Imagine crying wolf on Twitter and claim something is cheating when it isn't 😂 oh nooo the stack numbers are higher than normal, but his dmg is unchanged? Huh?!?!
Worst take asmon has ever had I lost brain cells listening to this
Stop using the player base as beta testers for "Finished Product". It is a product that is not fully tested, bugs were not worked out, and then you get mad at the user….
Hahahahahahahaha
Just hot fix it and take the L. Bad product.
You wouldn't get mad at a track runner because the race track has pot holes. The hate is misplaced.
Couple of two week bans for any and all exploiting, and the problem solves itself for years to come.
It only gave like a 4% dps increase
If its not a hack then its not cheating.
It sounds like its just blizzard's own macro scripting is bugged such that when it is cast through the macro, its erroneously not consuming the resource.
There are many reasons to have a macro script target and cast a spell for you instead of having to target the monster yourself. People do this all the time in perfectly normal gameplay
Asking your GM NOT to display your screen publicly.
Having an addon to hide what your are doing.
Permaban him and temp ban the entire team for 90 days.
Another reason why FF14 is better
bro did like 100 mill dmg in the time someone else did 15 mill dmg, some wild stuff
They should also ban buying gear from other players through helpers in race to world first. Ofcourse it makes blizzard money through tokens but it kinda ruins the race. Instead of weeks of gearing back in the day they buy the gear and clear it much sooner.
Look at the infamous Lich King platform exploit, this is the same sort of thing, but it this is intended, you are actively doing something that is not intended to the game.
The fact that Fireup got caught in a Twitch clip makes it even dumber, even calling out another member that was actively trying to do it.
"Here i've been knitting this scarf for you for 3 weeks"
throws it in the fire
"Bro why are you mad it's just a scarf, and knitting is just your hobby"
It's not about what you do, it's the time investment. It's crazy that you forget it asmon, i'm legit quoting you. Years old you.
1:40 I was not expecting such a W take from asmon for wow
Dragonflight runes can be applied first, then the new iron claw whetstones for two hours. Same thing applies to flasks tier 1 first, then tier 3 for 2 hours of 3
who cares? I dunno, maybe the people competing?
they aren't cheating focus target macros are part of blizzard's own system. If it is not intended then it is up to blizzard to fix.
Nobody even cares about World first anymore.
Macros are part of the game, every mediocre to god tier player uses macros, if you refuse to use macros, you're doing yourself and your groups a disservice, simple as that. The actions that were done were not against the rules, macros are not cheating, now if you notice a bug like this during normal gameplay, you should report it, but at the same time, players should not have to change the way they play the game, which would make your play worse, just to bypass a bug. This is like when that one guild got punished for exploiting the Lich King boss during Wrath, but it turned out to be that a DPS was just using Engineering bombs as part of their normal DPS rotation, and somehow the bombs were causing a glitch that was regenerating the falling parts of the arena, like how was it that guy's fault that the game was bugged in that specific way, he wasn't doing anything abnormal, nor was his actions against the rules.
Mage DPS exploited, Liquid and several other guilds including Echo downing Princess with a 1 Tank exploit… RWF is a joke this year. The "best raiders in the world" didn't kill anything without exploits for the last 3 to 4 tiers.
World first in WoW is dumb anyway and didnt do the game any favors. It only made the WoW scene worse.
🤓 if it wasn't in the game, they wouldn't want you to do it
When people are performing at the highest level of anything they find ways to bend n shape the rules into a grey area..it’s what being involved in an ultra competitive environment does
o no they will patch it now dam it.
I agree with Asmondgold. It is so stupid that the race to world first in WoW raids has become such a "thing". lol
All these 40 y/o virgins acting like wow is life🥴😂
TLDR of video; Slightly above average ex-WoW player complains that hardest raid mode in the game is too hard for average players therefore cheating is fine and all addons should be removed.
1:07 that ui is garbage… and from my understanding those are mostly addons
If you ain't cheating you ain't trying lol.
More of a bug than an exploit. Echo exploited with sneak dot lua.
They’ve been stupid for a while
Wow rwf is so weird cus they already have all the strats available day 1 lol
Asmon your suggestions to "making the game better" is so out of touch with the game can definitely tell you dont play anymore. I agreed with your views a couple a years ago but you are so out of touch with it now its actually unreal. You have very bad takes on this ngl
The fact that you have to explain this and people disagree with you on this is a big problem, no wonder there so many cheaters out there if everyone think they don't do anything wrong while cheating
