[epic] Model Edit in seconds!

The best combo i have done and in my opinion looks pimp as hell is a Undead Paladin

I really hate to stir controversy, but the sheer amount of popularity that this thread has garnered begs it.

What are we really looking at here?
There's a difference between an exploit and a visual bug. Admittedly, this is kinda' cool for people who aren't druids/shamans/Night elves, however, the same effect can be gained by downloading a simple model editor, which is client-side, so there's no danger of being banned or what have you.

This should really almost be labeled [USELESS] because there is no technical use for it. It's simply an aesthetics trick that is Client-side.
The final term here is an issue I have with the people who visit this thread. You're all making a huge deal about Blizz finding out about a client-side error. Client-side means it's on your end, not theirs. This means it's a bug they could only fix by revamping the login system to prevent the sequence of actions the game takes in order to make this bug not work. And it wouldn't even really fix anything. Like I said, there are very simple model editors out there.

I understand that this is simple, requires no downloads, and everyone can do it- But it's not an exploit. An exploit inherently takes advantage of something, meaning an advantage is gained(or at least CAN be gained) over someone, be it another player or the system itself. For practicality's sake, this doesn't deserve nearly the popularity it's gotten, and it just goes to show the current crowd that MMOwned is catering to.

I know, I feel exactly the same way. I think this guy got promoted all the way from contributor to legendary, but I guess he got demoted. It is a bug at most. Pretty much the definition of a bug. Not much different than if it had your name upside down because of your camera position at the log in.

But it also isn't expected to happen or "working as intended". I mean, sure there's no advantage to doing this, except changing your character model (client side), but it isn't fully USELESS.

It's a matter of opinion when you say "useless".
Will it help you gain any advantage? no.
Is it fun to do and see what other races played as a class thats not offered by Blizz? Yes.

So before you throw out the phrase "useless" try thinking outside of your elititst box and take into consideration that what may seem useless to you,may be useful to someone else in some way.

Thanks.

Ok, maybe I don't mean I feel

exactly

the same way. I didn't mean to say that my opinion is that

[earthFlower]

wether or not this BUG is useless, it is a great addition to this forum section and i see no reason to have it taken down, afterall you do have a advantage of looking like what you always wanted to look like without paying Blizzard.

[Janube]

Oh, of course it shouldn't be taken down. This is actually something I approve of a fairly large amount. It just doesn't deserve 24 pages and 100 rep or whatever.

It's not an advantage, it's a side-step. You're circumventing the system in the same way a downloadable model-editor would. You gain no advantage in any way, and it is "useless" in the practical sense. It's not useless by pure literal definition, but technically, no glitch is literally useless. Many just have no practical use. This has no practical use because model editing provides no real change.
Race change provides small changes due to race-skills, and proportional changes(like how gnomes could get on Stables in AB using their height). However, model edit leaves no practical application.


Again, it's a neat bug, and I'm amused by it, but it doesn't deserve the popularity it's gotten. That was the point I was getting at.

[ludsor]

Awsome man!

[ßetray]

As I said some 10-15+ pages before:

All this does is provide an aesthetic change to the game, nothing more. But that alone is worth it.

I've constantly used it so he got my full rep.

[Phoen!x]

It's an exploit, it's the exploit section, where is the problem ?

[stoneblade]

If it hasnt been said yet, this is a great way to work out how the new class combos will look before they are actually live.

[guihere]

this exploit work on 3.1.3 version?
