Free PvP Gear?

[Malekyth]

Certain gear costing nothing is a bug. Purchasing that gear during this time is taking advanatage of a bug, this is against the EULA and TOS that YOU agreed too. Blizzard also has high standards in terms of abusing bugs in-game. It's a shame really that probably no action/discipline will be handed out as so many took part. But this is no excuse to do it. I for one didn't.

You're terribly noble for not grabbing all you could, but with the inevitability of the free gear being deleted in an emergency maintainance in a few hours, those of us who had some fun with our incorrectly-gotten gains in the meantime weren't exactly engaging in rampaging evil. It's like rushing the boss with all guns blazing when you know you've got a savegame to fall back on. Who cares? Enjoy it while you can, it's only temporary.

Its hillarious the colossal cries from people like Xar something like this causes simply because their classs cant get it.

My priests got virtually same sorta gear anyway, although I grabbed it all on each just for same reason someone else said, the off chance it doesnt get taken back I didnt care either way though so close to the exp. What you should be QQ'ing about is all the people that grabbed S4 weapons without the rating or something that still got them, and by the looks of things will be keeping it, im just upset I didnt realise S4 gear was up for grabs also haha

One of my priests actually didnt get the leg piece rolled back, but when I went to equip it from the bank it just dissapeared lol

Either way I aint gonna whinge about someone else getting new gear through bug or not because I realise at the end of the day its a game and im not a whinging SKIRT.

Wow, for people who claim to hold yourself up to high standards you all who took gear suck. Really...thank you very much for contributing to the servers being down again. Go ahead and tell me you really thought Blizzard was meaning to give away that gear for free...OMG. Asstards. I can understand idiots who don't multibox doing this and thinking they are going to get away with it but you know better and come here boasting about it, GTFO. I didn't donate to this site to see this shit.

Yeah, I'm in a bad mood from all the server downtime.

Blizzard would have taken the servers down to fix this whether anyone "took" anything or not. The multiboxing community has high standards in terms of hacks and cheats and botting. Blizzard accidentally making certain epic gear cost nothing doesn't fall into any of those categories. I'm pretty sure they don't manually remove each item from every person. The rollback would be a global action.

If next patch, you suddenly find that your shaman do 1 million damage per LB if you use a tremor totem, does that mean that using a tremor totem in that time would be against the EULA? No, it means Blizzard screwed up.

A vendor displaying the wrong price is simply incorrect data being sent from the serverside, not a legitimate bug built into the game code. There's nothing outside normal gameplay mechanics involved in using a vendor or even in a vendor having stuff for free.

Incorrect data being sent from the serverside...sounds like a bug to me. And it is outside normal gamelay mechanics because they are not normally free.

If lb started doing 1million dmg when tremor totem was down...I wouldn't use it. I'd suck it up and wait for it to be fixed. Pretty sure that would get hotfixed dam fast too...wouldn't want end game bosses to be downed in 10 seconds now would you?

Actually if it did 1 million per LB and you went and solod BT to get the best gear you could... they prolly would give you a 3 day vacation for exploiting a known bug.

And to everyone on either side of the argument please just relax
