I’m quite sorry that you had to deal with that in your PvP. I know you’ve had a lot of experience in that side of the game, and I hate to think of you two getting frustrated by cheaters… even though you won.

It’s that kind of ‘I don’t care if I am an honorless scumbag as long as I get a higher Arena ranking’ attitude that reduces PvP, to me, into a point scoring system to buy a piece of gear I want, and nothing more.

Makes you wonder if the GMs pass stuff on to the Devs. Sometimes, I wonder how much the GMs really understand of the game. Guess I could write a whole blog article on GMs…but I won’t.

What about bug reporting? Wonder if that might reach another audience.

@Kestrel: I could have reported the exploiters and have done so in the past with hunters who climb to the top of pillars in Nagrand to fire at you without repercussion, but the GMs’ responses have typically been to be very courteous and apologetic but to say that there isn’t a tremendous amount that could be done – that they would relay the potential exploit to the appropriate parties. As far as I’m aware, the drinking exploit is known to Blizzard (so why haven’t they fixed it??), and the LoS exploit would likely be difficult to duplicate. I guess I’ve just been discouraged from a seeming lack of action on Blizzard’s part.

@Ermengol: It’s great to have you as a new reader. I hope that you stay with me for a while. =) And don’t be put off by the presence of my blog – or anyone else’s for that matter. There’s no reason there isn’t more room for Druid bloggers out there! And if you do start a blog, I’d appreciate if you could let me know so that I can add it to my lists. =)

Hi, I’m a first timer to this blog, and I have to say it looks great!

Weirdest thing is I was setting up a blog myself (it would be my first) about restoration druids, and after writing the first post (“hi, this is me”) and looking for ideas in other WoW blogs to make some style changes, I found this!

I haven’t had time to read it through, but it looks like you’ve already talked about some topics I wanted to talk about, and quite a few more I didn’t even think of yet, so I’ll bother you instead, reading and adding brief comments, while saving me the trouble of writting the whole stuff myself I hope you don’t mind!

Keep up the good work!

I don’t PvP (well, a little bit of world PvP if I’m in the area of Halaa and I’m in the mood, or if the Horde invades IF), but I can sympathize with you 100% (and empathize–which is a big part of why I don’t PvP).

That said, I hope you at least reported the exploits (I can understand the terrain exploit; dunno how /sit can be exploited–and I don’t want to know), if not the exploiters.

I can’t stand cheaters. At. All.
