Q u o t e:


From a discussion several weeks ago on Customer Service. The GMs over there are very good at discussing policy.

---

Hey look, this thread has been moved to Customer Service. (From General, I'm guessing.)

Let's see if it gets more constructive. <3

---

Q u o t e:
It's an exploit of a bug.

If you find a hunter using it to grief other players, it's actually reportable. Open a ticket if someone is doing this.

---

A guildy of mine got stuck in Ratchet with a couple of flagged 70s "dueling" and using snake trap to repeatedly kill lowbies in the area. She reported them for griefing as they would "duel" in the area where the lowbie bodies were making it hard for them to rez and run.

One point to make - you do NOT have to be flagged to be attacked by the snakes. I landed it Ratchet to give her a hand and was not flagged and the snakes started attacking me.

---

Q u o t e:


Spoken like a true griever. Grievers are bad players that cause good players to leave. Grievers give MMO’s a bad name. MMO’s don’t want grievers as clients. A level 70 killing an unflagged level 20 is grieving. One can give me any excuse he wants to justify his destructive and anti-social behavior, however, It doesn’t matter. The bottom line is that destructive, anti-social individuals do not belong in a social environment.

---

I have to agree. I actually did this to a level 30/31 hunter who was exploring the barrens (he was a Dwarf). I wasn't sure the snakes would attack him since he wasn't flagged, I was surprised that the snakes killed him. Pretty quickly too. I felt bad enough that I rolled an Alliance alt and apologized.

I now have a level 4 gnome rogue that will probably get killed by a snake trap while not flagged.

It's an exploit of a bug (totally awesome bug if you have to chase down the people who just raided crossroads, oh yeah), but it's the intention when you do it. It won't kill a level 50+ toon, but will prevent them from eating/drinking long enough that they leave razor hill alone...which could be seen as griefing, but I don't see it as griefing. It will also prevent someone from eating/drinking between grinding mobs when farming motes, which. to me, is 100% griefing.

This made me laugh.

You actually need to ask if and where it's against the rules to attack non-flagged players? I don't expect any young Einsteins here, but c'mon. We shouldn't have to hold your hand and be like "And this is why you shouldn't do that."

Get your kills on people that actually wish to fight, sissy.

I play on PVP realm, not a PVE realm.

Q u o t e:


Then this should only affect you in low level non-contested territory. I don't know what the mechanics of the trap are in that situation--my hunter is on a PvE realm.

ii i went to a horde starting area and drop a snake trap it will kill every player in the agro range of a lv 70 spotting a lv 3 and if people chose to exploit this bug they should be reported.
edit: that is answer to quote as to how it works on pvp relms


Come on guys just because we have played long enough to know that there are always new players to the game and why should a kid who just got wow have to deal with being killed by a bug when they have only played the game for 10 min.

Blizz has mentioned they are working on it.

But yes, as a new player, I found it extremely frustrating when a dozen or so level 70's decided to stand outside Tarren Mill (level 15-20 questing area) and drop Snake Traps on us as we tried to turn in quests or leave the area. I'm perfectly fine if they kill all the guards, because that's just how it works. But they weren't killing guards, they were there to annoy the lowbies. In return, I /whispered all the players I saw getting attacked in this manner and told them the name of the player dropping the traps on them. I know at least 2, in addition to myself, reported the player on the spot.

Sadly, the Hunter that was repeatedly doing this didn't think to take a step back to interrupt the Drop-Trap animation. So it was plain as day to us that he was the one doing it.

Q u o t e:
Egads! Another Snake Trap thread?

Okay, I'ma break it down for you:

4) No, it doesn't matter what kind of realm type you're on. You can wait a few levels to start ganking them, k?

5) Indiana Jones hates you if you do this.

This could possibly be my favorite Blue post to date.

Sorry to fuel the topic, but I had to just post my appreciation. Thursdays stink, but this made it a little better.

/poke Malkorix

G'morning :P

Q u o t e:
Egads! Another Snake Trap thread?

Okay, I'ma break it down for you:

1) Yes, we are aware of this issue, Virginia.

2) Yes, we are working hard to resolve it, but the snakes are ornery, and it's more complicated than it seems. Hopefully it won't be an issue soon, though.

3) Yes, you can get into lots of trouble for exploiting your little slithery buddies to flag/kill unflagged players. If you see this happening, report it.

4) No, it doesn't matter what kind of realm type you're on. You can wait a few levels to start ganking them, k?

5) Indiana Jones hates you if you do this.

Tagging so I can report hundreds of huntards now =D
