The rumors are indeed true. We have been suspended for 72 hours for:
Offense: Abuse of Game Mechanics
Details: Circumvention of normal combat mechanics to defeat the Yogg-Saron encounter inside the Ulduar raid instance.
In our many attempts at trying to figure out a way to defeat Yogg zero
watcher, we found a way to use bugged game mechanics to make phase 3
easier in zero watcher then one watcher.
The bug is when someone is left inside the brain room of Yogg-Saron,
they can still get aggro on the adds that spawn in phase 3. That means
if you have someone getting healing aggro in the brain room, they will
get aggro on the adds, which cause them to evade in place and allows
for all of your raids dps to be focused on Yogg.
We discovered this mechanic on a wipe, and decided to see if we could
actually get it to work. The first attempt after that wipe, we realized
it worked, and went with it and killed it on that attempt.
Yes, it is 100% our fault for using a bug on such a significant boss
fight, however I would say there are some absolute factors to go off of
here that kind of forced us into it. We wouldn't have had to use this
technique to kill this encounter if it was actually killable to begin
with, so please, Blizzard, make your encounters killable in the future.
Lets take a moment to think about the other encounter that was deemed
not killable mathematically in Ulduar.. Oh yeah 2min Hodir, I remember
a certain guild killing it in this state by using an exploit.. they
were not banned, any reason why Blizzard?
First off I just want to say, if I was given the chance to erase
history and do it again I would without question do it. These last 72+
hours watching Ensidia cry "Exploit!" and bitch non-stop have been
absolutely hilarious. You guys are like a lot of other little european
babies, who lack sportsmanship. Pretty sure when you guys exploited
your way through this instance and past instances, my guild didn't cry
non-stop until you were banned. Pot calling the kettle black?
What about when you guys exploited Freya trash to kill Hodir? Not only
that, but then you proceeded to e-mail your Blizzard contacts and had
it hoxfixed before anyone even knew that you exploited it in this
manner. This allowed for you to focus on more fights with your new 239
ilvl items that you got from exploited a kill, while everyone else was
holding their dicks because you exploited and got the exploit fixed the
same day.
Blizzard if you are going to pick sides, make it a little less obvious...
Was Nihilum/Ensidia ever banned for using "Clever game mechanics" on.....
C'thun (Know anything about a disgusting Oozling Kungen?)
Lady Vashj.....Respawns?
Twins...No video from first kill Kungen? Sat on a torch?
Hodir....Flower power?
Mimiron...JoL stacking?
I didn't think so.
Lets just say that Ensidia stacks the cards in their favor every chance
they can get, who knows what other exploits they have used, and if they
were to have discovered this bug I'm sure they would have used it just
as they used flower trash on Hodir.
