Feeling uncertain

[jak3676]

I do wish Blizz had more specificity in some of their rules (and how they vary between PvE and PvP servers). The words "zone disruption" and/or "griefing" aren't actually in any of ToS/EULA or Code of Conduct, but everyone will quote them like they were. (https://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/...l=1#post430209)

Similarly the line between "exploiting game mechanics" vs "Clever use of game mechanics" seems to be pretty fluid and in the eye of the beholder although 1 of those 2 will get you banned. There's some Blizzard posts talking about intent and repeatability, https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wo...ages/301488/81, but I still find it unbelievable that walking an opposing faction priest into the opponent's capital city to MC a mob that their own citizens then kill in order to get more world buffs falls under "cleaver use" and not "exploit". But at least Blizz did finally make a post that was OK. Stand-still farming seems to go the other way and be considered an exploit, but I haven't actually seen that in a blue post anywhere. Although I'm glad this forum took a stand against it.

I'd love to tell people that they should just always avoid anything that's even remotely close to being considered a game exploit, but it seems like most of the "1-pull" meta in Classic right now evolves around stuff that someone could seriously consider an exploit. I had 1 guy spend at least 30min spamming /LFG that he reported me for mining a node that was ~20 yards away from him while he was fighting a mob. I wasn't even multiboxing at the time.

My server discord (US PvE server) has been having a great debate how how much interruption is allowed when we're all fighting over mob tags for world bosses. Apparently a whole bunch of people received short bans for pulling extra mobs onto the raid that had the boss - I would have said that was perfectly OK (PvE problem with a PvE solution and all that). Our own discord is still trying to sort out if they received bans just because so many people reported them and it was an automated response or if its actually against ToS.
