A word of caution for those using instance reset method

[Apatheist]

Why are you labeling this as an exploit specific to level 60? In reference to this topic, what would testing at level 60 have revealed that testing at level 20 didn't, since this particular issue can be used in any dungeon, at any level? With thousands of players in the beta, no one who found this exploit stepped forward to report it, because if they had, then this would've been fixed long ago..

As Blizzard has stated, it's the result matters. The fact that you could do this to reset instances was widely known and used during beta and discussed publicly. Blizzard only seemed to have an issue with it when they realized it could be used to reset raids.

I guess I don't have an issue with penalizing people who used this to reset raids. That does seem deliberately exploitative. Myself and many others have been using this method to reset dungeons conveniently so we don't have to hearth or spirit rez. This offers no real gain other than convenience and if my accounts were to be suspended (unlikely, based on Blizzards statement) as part of a blanket ruling I'd be pretty annoyed.

I don't think we're discussing the same thing here...

There is an exploit where you can "respawn" a boss right in front of you by abusing the layering system, which, from the instructions I've seen floating around the internet, is more involved than resetting a dungeon. You can literally stay locked inside of a boss room and farm them non-stop, without having to re-clear anything leading up to them—just pick the boss that drops the thing you want, farm them endlessly until they do, and then move onto the next.

Possibly? The Reddit post I read for the raid reset exploit were pretty much identical how we reset dungeons. Maybe they're different and I just wasn't paying attention.

I hope so, because manually resetting dungeons like Maraudon and BRD is a huge PITA.

BRD isn’t the worst reset... you can go into molten core and drop back out again instantly or just go to the bar, drop down to incendius and run out that way.
and there is a tell tell way to see if you’ve been using the same exploit. When you reset BRD, do you spawn back at the entrance, or do you spawn back at emp? I mean if how you reset the dungeon is portal a mage... log out the other toons while disbanding the group totally... and then relogging them all and inviting them to the mages group before summoning the mage back to the instance... (or just out side, this is vanilla after all) then that’s not layer hopping at a boss.

People were literally using this to stand behind the throne in BRD, reset emp, and kill... rinse and repeat in order to get ironfoe... and such like.

Why is manually resetting BRD/Maraudon a PITA?
