Here's the full blog post from Muqq: (profanity warning)


Hello friends,

I got suspended today for supposedly and blatantly exploiting the Lich King encounter in 25-man mode. Here's the mail:



-----

Date of Violation: 03/02/2010


Character Name Involved: Muqq
Type of violation: Exploitation – Abuse of in-game mechanics or glitches with intent to exploit or cheat in World of Warcraft.
Details: Use of Saronite Bombs to bypass The Lich King fight mechanics Consequences for Account: Account suspended for 72 hours, all items and achievements gained removed


Greetings,

We are writing to inform you that we have had to place a warning on your World of Warcraft account and temporarily suspend it. It is with regret that we take this type of action, but it is in the best interests of the World of Warcraft community as a whole, and for the integrity of the game. The use of these items bypassed a major portion of the encounter, significantly reducing the difficulty in a clear abuse of game mechanics. After your suspension has expired, you will be able to access the World of Warcraft servers again.

Please note that should any further violations of our Rules and Policies occur, this incident will be taken into consideration when determining the consequences to your account. This could include further warnings, account suspension or account termination.

We strongly suggest you review our current Rules and Policies to avoid further action in the future, they can be found at:

First of all, I took the time to log onto the account management page and discontinue my payment plan. It's been a long and good 5 years and 2 months since day 1 of the US release of World of Warcraft. Many good memories were made, and fun times were had. That's over now. My subscription runs out of February 21st, which marks the last day of World of Warcraft for me.

Looking back, moving from Final Fantasy X! to WoW was a big step, and there's times that I regret making that decision, while on occasion I was happy to have taken the step. World of Warcraft was different back then. It was new, challenging and interesting. undoubtedly though, it was nowhere near as feature-rich as it is today, but that didn't matter back then. The game was a continuation of EverQuest, a game most of the senior development staff of World of Warcraft are familiar with on a very familiar basis. Many of them played the game for years, and I can see that it served as a major inspiration when I look at what World of Warcraft was when it was released. Being an avid EverQuest player myself during a time, It drew me in further into the game.

Things have changed since those days, changed a lot. The game stopped being that fun. Less challenges were present in the game, and as we got through TBC and more so in WotlK, homogenization started to rear its ugly face in World of Warcraft. Everyone running around with identical gear, looking the same, doing the exact same things. With arenas, changes were made on a monthly basis that affected the way classes were developed, and subsequently also lead to how PvE was being done in the game. It got stale, predictable and repetative. The whole notion of hybrids in the midst of all this was just a ##!!ing slap in the face by Blizzard. If you're going to remove everything unique and interesting about the classes, at least make them equal in the roles that they are performing.

Their idea of hybrid was something taken from classes in EverQuest, where people played classes that were jack of all trades, master of none, or very specialuzed roles, such as a pure buffer (bards etc). Classes that existed for one purpose, and nothing else. They removed most of those in WotlK, but still stick with the notion that hybrids somehow offer something special just because they have the ability to respec to a different role. Kind of a strange taken on the whole thing, considering what they've already to make it easy in leveling and gearing up characters on the same account, with more and more things being accountbound rather than characterbound. Two-faced by Blizzard in my opinion. Removed the boundary between characters on one hand, and at the same time claim hybrids needs to be penalized because they have the option of respeccing to perform different roles that a simple log out/log in would take care of.

Let's face it. This game is boring for veterans. The only reason it's still being played is because there has never been good alternatives during these 5 years. Age of Conan, Warhammer Online and Aion ##!!ing flopped like *#*@. Really developers, if you want to make an MMO, don't go and ##!!ing try to copy WoW. If people wanted to play WoW, they'd play WoW, not your *#*@ty gimp ass version of it. Let it be a lesson to all you developers out there.

Anyway, back to the subject. This was as good time as any to drop this game and move on. Had been considering it for a while, and I always said to Buzzkill and the gang that I was just waiting for the sign. A sign from heaven to guide me on my way. Today, I received it. I doubt we'll ever get a perm-ban, as the loss of PR from banning topguilds is going to hurt their subscription numbers much more than quelling angry cries of the ##!!ing noobs in this game ever would. Really, if you don't know *#*@ about this game, just shut the ##!! up and do something else. You level 1 ##!! posters and the forums can honestly go f yourselves, since you're too *#*@ to know even the basics of this game.

Finally dear Blizzard:



Fix your goddamn buggy bull##@% half-assed encounters. The amount of time and effort we dedicated to get through Wrath of the Lich king and Icecrown to see this guy die and take a turn at the Arthas is just sick. To finally see him die only to have the ENTIRE raid banned is simply an insult. It's cheap enough to make a bugged ##!!ing encounter, but to ban people when they do not know what's causing the bugs is just a ##!!ing joke. Whoever came up with this sheer *%*!#@#@* of an idea can go fucl themselves. Do me a favor so I don't waste my guild's time on this kind of jackass ##@%-fest again, send me an email at [email protected] when you decide to A) Implement an encounter that wasn't designed by a retarded chimp chained to a cubicle B) Get a Quality Assuarance Department C) Actually beta test the !**#ing thing and D) Patch it live. And please for god's sake -- do it in the order I laid out for you. Don't worry, I won't charge you a consulting fee on that one. And for good luck you might as well E) Pull your heads out of your asses. While you're at it rename the game to World of Betacraft.

Rethink your ##!!ing bull*#*@. Fix all the buggy mother##!!ing ICC encounters (I suggest you let whoever made the Blood Queen one do this since that dude apparently laid off the crack the rest of you were smoking). Fix ##!!ing arenas, or better yet, remove that *#*@. Fix heroic modes (just guessing it's !**#ed up considering your track record). Don't have the resources to fix this stuff? Move the ENTIRE Cataclysm team over to fixing Icecrown Citadel AND DO IT NOW. If you don't fix this *#*@, you jackassess will be the only ones playing the Cataclysm.



You got 1 week.

Thank you Blizzard, for these 5 years, but also, ##!! you Blizzard, for these 5 years.

I just got banned, and I liked it.

@Classic-Raiden: Ja Benji, damals wusste halt niemand was über seine Klasse und/oder hat sich damit beschäftigt da das maximale rauszuholen. Desweiteren ist es auch schwieriger nen 40er Raid zu koordinieren als nen 25er. Von daher stimm ich da rehlein zu, wenn die Leute sich damals ausgekannt hätten, wäre das auch schneller gegangen.
@Ensidia Story: Schade, ich finds scheisse von Blizzard. Was für ne Sperre bei Illidan? Und das bei Vasjh war nich Nihilum.
@Arthas Größe: Bullshit, das isn normaler Mensch, wieso sollte der auf einmal riesig groß sein? Er is eh schon, im Vergleich zu nem normalen male human sehr groß
@Arthas Fight: Hnngg, heute erstmal nen Try durch Lag verloren aber ansonsten sind das viele Fähigkeiten, viele Phasen und viel Damage. Mal schaun, sicher machbar, vorallem erstmal im 10er.

und sag mir mal bitte wo es HEUTE noch wirkliche klassenbeheschrung gibt? 2 tage nach dem patch geht eh jeder zu elitistjerks.com und sucht sich skillung und rotation raus. das hat nichts mit klassenbeherschung zu tun (meiner meinung nach).

Hahahah, schön wärs

[Stan]

Sicher, WENN man sich darum kömmert, ist zumindest der theoretische Teil kein Problem mehr. Der praktische dafür umso mehr. Und die meisten kümmern sich nichtmal wirklich um den theoretischen.

"Ist ja alles Englisch" "Ich spiel so wie es mir Spass macht" usw, in nem guten Raid, klar, da schon aber so die normalen Spieler...nicht wirklich.

[Stan]

Sicher, ich mein ja nur dass wenn du dir die heutigen Raids anschaust auch noch genug Leute ohne Plan rumlaufen. Wenn du das ganze jetzt nur auf Top-Raids beziehst, ok. Ich bin jetz grad aber trotzdem leicht verwirrt weil ich aus den Augen verloren hab um was es denn hier überhaupt geht. Von daher, ja damals war der Farmaufwand größer um einen Boss zu legen aber ich wette die Bosse würden heute trotzdem so schnell gekillt werden, selbst wenn man viel mehr farmen müsste. Vorrausgesetzt man ist bei den Items nicht vom Dropluck abhängig so wie bei den Herzen in Hyjal/BT, wobei zur Zeit hat man ja eh unendlich Gold zur Verfügung und man würde wohl alles einfach kaufen.

Achso Klassenbeherschung noch, ja Movement lässt sich nicht an ner Puppe trainieren und eine optimale DPS Rota ohne die nötigen Raidbuffs auch nicht. Ausserdem musst du auch jede Fähigkeit eines Encounters richtig reagieren können, sowas lernt man auch nicht an der Puppe. Ich sehs ja bei uns oft wenn wir neue Leute haben, die kommen zu Bossen rein, RL fragt "Kennst du den Boss?" und wenn dann "Ja, hab die Taktik gelesen" kommt, weißte schon fast bescheid. Das hilft nämlich nicht wirklich immer.

[Stan]

Für mich is Klassenbeherschung alles zusammen: movement, maximale dps und survivability, motivation und optimale vorbereitung.

[Stan]

passt :>

Man könnte ja mal wieder paar Screenshots posten...
