Hacker attacking unflagged lowbies in Xroads

[Feathand]

Camping lowbies is scummy enough, but to find a workaround or hack to attack unflagged lowbies is a new level of low.

Calling out Procto the 60 priest to answer for his crimes.

If you don't know Procto, you don't know life.

Anyway this isn't a hack, it is a glitch that happens at times.

Abusing a bug to kill unflagged people is bannable.

Ah, so I wasn't seeing things when I saw Bluefly and a bunch of other Alliance cheating to run mounted underwater in AB the other week.

hmm, after watching that video it is terribly odd that we are all flagged on your side of the client. Probably best to notify a dev.

Not sure about nost rules but in retail abusing a known bug is bad news bears.

And trying to claim ignorance would be tuff here, it's not rocket science to know that lowbies are unflagged in their respective territory.

This same issue was brought to my attention by my eldest son who was leveling a Tauren Druid. He didn't screen shot the event, so I didn't have proof to send to GM's. I will be watching for this from now on, as we both spend a good deal of time leveling alt toons.

it's only an issue lower levels, but infuriating nonetheless

This was a known bug on Mangos core servers such as Emerald Dream, Valkyrie, and Rebirth from a while back. When a priest uses Psychic Scream, enemy players caught within the radius can sometimes be flagged for PvP randomly. Other Area of Effects from rare sources can cause this too. It was fixed on Emerald Dream and Valkyrie (I have no clue about Rebirth or what state that server is in now).

If I had to bet money on what's going on, it would be on this.

It is the MC bug.
It lets you run underwater (as if the water didn't exist) which also allows you to eat/drink/run around mounted.
So it is also probably the MC bug as well that flags everyone on your client which allows you to attack them (I mean it is extremely obvious that not all 50 out of 50 lowbies in barrens tagged themselves?)
