Blizzard explains its banning policy for World of Warcraft Classic

Dienstag, 24. September 2019

Nearly a month on from release, it's been safe to say that World of Warcraft Classic has been a resounding success for Blizzard Entertainment. The remastered vanilla edition of the hit MMORPG is so popular, that players are having to queue up in-game just to kill certain bosses, while many have already hit the max level cap of 60, and are being rewarded for the achievement.

But the game's launch has not been without its trials. Some players have managed to exploit Blizzard's layering technology (which creates different versions of the same zones in a server to manage player populations) to create endless respawns in certain dungeons for quick levelling, but the company has now issued multiple bans out to those who committed the crime. If you want to buy World of Warcraft Classic Power Leveling, we rvgm.com can give you a very low price, welcome to buy.

The first abuse of the WoW Classic layering system came in the race to become the world's first level 60 character in the game, a mad dash that was eventually won by streamer Jokerd. Perhaps somewhat controversially, however, Jokerd used the layering system to set himself up nicely for the last few levels of the grind, getting friends to help him instance into versions of the world map that were bereft of players. As a solo player Frost Mage, Jokerd was then able to exploit the fact that there were so many mobs by setting up massive group AoE kills that made his leveling experience much more efficient. While that exploit was much tamer and probably not so much against the rules of WoW Classic as it was just a smart use of the resources available, however, a new layering exploit is definitely against the spirit of the game.

Players have been known to “exploit” the layering system out in the world by deliberately jumping between layers in order to more quickly farm enemies for experience or loot, but it seems Blizzard consider this tactic legitimate as it uses an intended game mechanic rather than a bug. It is worth noting, though, that Blizzard will punish deliberate exploits retroactively, so if you discover a way of abusing a bug, doing so may well come back to bite you.
