[Wintergrasp in 60 second(WIN)]: Opposing Fortress

[Akrokis]

So, I was farming ores for titansteelbar the other day on my lvl 71 alt paladin and finally it's WG time. (all annoying lvl 80 elemental mobs disappear for a sweet time)
"Let the battle begin!", cheers, I run into the fire elementals place to pick up the tasty veins without getting to worrying about the stupid mobs. :wave:

After some seconds or so, maybe about a minute, I see all mobs respawning(!??) and I go emo n like "nooooooo waat!". :yuck:

Picture:


edit: It looks like they capture WG in like 3 seconds in the first picture, slightly misshowing, it should be a "gap"
there but since I took screenshot standing still it somehow "floats" in and fits perfectly - NOT my intention)

As you can see, I receive wg mark of honor not to far away from "let the battle begin". I find this very disturbing! So, I talk with a friend of mine that had been defending and he had witnessed A FULL CONVOY of siege engines attacking the fortress from the west, broke trough as knife and butter with their crowd of massive firepower and captured with almost no resistance.

So, how is this possible?

Today I found out (80% sure).
I helped some ally friends later on today and killed some hordes and got myself a nice rank. In the middle of the battle a friend arrived so I logged off.

When I loggin some hour after it's another WG, and guess what - Still have my rank from previous battle.

--

Summery -
Get some friends, kill ppl, get some ranks, loggoff, loggin after next WGhas begun(important) - voila!

(Please, would be awesome if someone could comfirm, I am really still not 100%, have only did it one time waiting on WG atm and then I need to wait another hours to check if it works!)

i logged out in the fortress, logged to an alt, lost wg and logged in again on my main.
my main got killed by a horde of frenzy alliance ;D

[Reuspa]

Thanks for the tip, will try this.

[Tikarra]

Horde tries this on my server. Worked for a few weeks but we've figured it out and are able to stop them pretty quickly now so enjoy it while you can.

Horde have been doing this on my server for a while now. as soon as the battle begins you can see them making tanks right off the bat, It doesn't help them all that much since alliance out numbers them 4 to 1 during most wintergrasp battles.

I still sure a lot of people are aware of this "exploit"

[Thorgaard]

This may be common knowledge ,but I have never seen it on this forum or on my server ,therefor +Rep.

[MasterGold]

Thanks for the tip, useful for my alts who mostly stay rested except for wg

[Deadnisse]

Great exploit, tho who would wanna log out before recieving honor from the current battle, considering the fact that the offensive team always win (atleast on my server)

[Cyberthube]

lol i was in that battle too yesterday >,< it sucked
