A word of caution for those using instance reset method

[The Crowd]

It doesn't seem to me like using this method to reset dungeons would be ban-worthy but who knows? Not worth risking your accounts over until you see how Blizzard handles it. They'll probably just issue a hotfix and then ban the people who intentionally abused it to farm raids.

Personally, I think banning anybody over this would be pretty lame from Blizzards part. Blizzard should have tested this stuff before implementing a mechanic that none of the players wanted in the first place. Using layering to farm/quest was so commonplace they had to add a cooldown. Why is it a surprise that people would also used it to farm raids? If it's not bannable to use to your advantage in the open world, it shouldn't be bannable in raids. Blizzard only have themselves to blame for their own poor quality control and lack of beta testing at 60.

Apparently Blizzard have already issued a statement/fix.

Unsure if the fix will prevent resetting instances in dungeons or if they've only fixed raids resetting? Somebody will have to test.

Do a quick mental exercise there... What’s the difference between an exploit and clever use of game mechanics.

And to further that, saying blizzard shouldn’t ban people because they didn’t fix it... is like saying... I know it was yours but if you didn’t want me to steal it you should have locked it in the bank.

An exploit is a straight up game breaking mechanic that you have instigate yourself, clever use of game mechanics is stacking up in a dead zone that wasn’t intended to be a dead zone in order to avoid a boss mechanic.
if you by your actions have to cause an event through your manipulation, ya... that ban hammer is coming hard and fast.

look at what they did to guilds who used to go into MC and try to call up if a loot item to see if it was going to drop in the same raid. And all they were doing was looking.
