So Wikipedia entry trumps Blizzard definition in Blizzard's game?

Let's revisit Vyndree's quote from earlier -
It sounds like you need to read this link:

Specifically this part:

Bug Exploitation

We have a top notch Quality Assurance team who tirelessly stamp out bugs and design inconsistencies within World of Warcraft. However, a handful of trained professionals can never isolate and resolve each and every bug in such a deep and complex game accessed simultaneously by thousands of players. You may come across the occasional bug during your adventures. Some bugs are minor and do not affect gameplay, but sometimes these bugs can be used to provide an unfair advantage to certain players or affect the service itself. Factors included in determining the appropriate penalty:


  1. Whether or not the exploit is performed intentionally, maliciously, and/or repeatedly
  2. Whether or not the exploit damages another character, their gameplay, the service itself and/or its economy
  3. Whether or not an attempt has been made to conceal the exploit's use
    If a player is found to have abused/distributed an exploit, he/she may:

  4. Be given a verbal warning if exploitation is unintentional and no attempt has been made to hide its occurrence
  5. Be temporarily suspended from the game
  6. In extreme cases the account will be closed outright
    Bug exploitation that we consider extreme includes, but is not limited to:

  7. Any exploit that has a severe negative impact on a realm's economy
  8. Causing disruption in service or intentionally crashing a realm/server
I am not at all disagreeing with you about the availability to both sides or anything like that... I just can't wrap my head around how you keep saying that actions that are clearing exploiting a flaw in game design is not an exploit because it's available to both sides.

Calling an exploit not an exploit just to justify your actions is fine by me, until you start trying to post that logic on a forum for a community which prides itself on playing within the rules...
