Jumping into trouble. (Arena Exploit)

[Maerwen]

Hi. I was doing arena today and I always look for good wall jump areas. Well, we were doing the Blades Edge Arena with the bridge that goes across and I went to the far end. The right side if you are alliance and up the ramp. The wall down there is jump-able and you are able to get up onto the edges around the arena. You could jump off into the land outside the arena if you wanted also. I would post screen shots, though for some reason my prt scr button is not taking the SS.

Well I got up there for the first time after my arena partner had died and we were lol the whole time and I was /lol at the opposing team as they desperatly tried to find me. Well about ten minutes goes by and all the sudden I get a pst from a GM and here is our conversation;

Forgive the wall of text.

00:36[Terravol]: One more jump like that and I will suspend you.
00:37[Terravol]: Please return to the arena floor.
00:39[Me]:
00:39[Terravol]: Now that the match is over, I want to make it clear
that wall jumping is against policy.
Understood?
00:40[Me]: I understand.
00:40[Terravol]: Since you had not made it out yet, I will not be
penalizing you, but I will mark your account
00:41[Terravol]: If you are caught doing this again, it could be quite
unpleasent leveling back to 70 from 1.
00:41[Me]: Ok
00:41[Me]: I think that scream pushes you through walls.
00:42[Terravol]: It can, *Name Removed*, but I saw you climbing the walls.
Do not try to blame this on Psychic Scream.
00:42[Terravol]: Thank you for your attention in this matter.
00:42[Me]: No problem.

Well, that is the story. So if you want you can exploit that wall jump and maybe get the other team to afk out. Lol, that wasn't the case for me though.

Afterwards we made characters on their realm and went and talked to them. I asked one how he knew where I was and he said he didn't until the GM pointed me out. Heh
They told my friend that the GM said he was going to delete my toon, but from the message you can see that he didn't.

Well, thanks for reading and enjoy. :wave:

Where do you grab the chat logs or how do you copy chat logs from WoW?

[Clovian]

Nice lol thats a close one. it would be easier to model edit the doors to get out though.

[Maerwen]

It's an addon called WIM (WoW Instant Messanger)

TY, + repped ya altho I find it unusual that he didnt had the tag and that he didn't appropriately greeted you, most of the time they are whisping you first with some greeting and then starting to talk to you, o well.

[Maerwen]

Thanks.
The addon automatically removes the GM part.
He didn't greet me because we were still in the arena and basically wanted me to get back in and end it I guess. XD

next time you'll be banned...
I don't see where is the exploit here

[Maerwen]

The exploit is the wall jump to get on top or outside of the arena.
You take a risk with many different exploits. Up to you whether you try them or not.

I tried the method like 2 months ago, won first game by jumping off of the arena. And at the second game.. they contacted GM and i got teleported back to the arena

really? never knew you could jump on those walls... but when ur at the start at Blade Edge arena i know you can jump there on the walls XD

[pvphell]

what a punk gm, i'd like to punch him in the stomach for being so rude

[Claes]

was that on the official server? Seems kinda hoax-ish.

I have gotten feared out from arena plenty of times, they just teleport you back in right into your enemies = instant loose, then they think it's fair and wont fix the problem.
