Classic Hardcore Mak'gora Duel to the Death Scam

Recommended Posts

Classic Hardcore is dangerous enough as it is, but now players need to be careful about getting scammed when challenged to a Mak'gora as well! So how could you possibly get scammed if you accept a duel to the death you might ask?

Well, it turns out you really need to be paying attention to punctuation marks. In a true case of mistaken identity scammery, the level 26 player thought they were dueling a level 1 (which may be suspicious to begin with) when instead it was a level 35 with the same name! The hilarious part comes later, when the scammer almost loses the duel and has to resort to jumping on the roof and clipping spells through the inn - and even then doesn't manage to win!


That's a very dramatic turn of events, but huge congratulations to the Paladin (I can't quite make out his name, looks like Berm or similar) for playing really well, almost beating the Priest and then getting away in the end!

Kinda scummy to try and grief lower level toons by pulling that stunt. guess he cant win against anyone his level....should he be banned? maybe but I doubt a ban will go into effect however, based on the video....the dude is running two accounts which is technically multiboxing and a banable offense since its against the terms of service. so if the paladin wanted to report this he probably get the priest banned for it.

Multiboxing is not a Ban able offense.  In BC ,killing Ogres were a huge spot behind Shattrath city were people would do it to make Gold.

Multiboxing isn't the issue here, he could have also had a friend with that other char, would have been just as scummy/scammy.

Replying to wrong person here are you?  I mentioned " Multiboxing " is Not Bannable or Terms and conditions. Mdr. I see no problem,  just a person got baited. Level 28 paladin dying then a whole naxx raid wipe from a troll.

Is it scummy? Yes.
Is it out-of-game-accessible, aka bannable? I'd say no.
People lie all the time...
It's up to the system to be better, then. Maybe it could say "You are about to duel Max - Level 20 Shaman Enh Orc - Do you accept?"
Anything like this can be approved!!

((PS I don't play HC myself cause of this reason, I don't trust people --- and I don't trust myself to not fall asleep at a bad time either...))

As others have stated, multiboxing is not against the ToS. In fact, Blizzard has no issue with multiboxing as it means multiple accounts are being paid for by a single person (presumably). What is against the ToS is using hardware or software to broadcast keystrokes to multiple instances of WoW, which was once a staple of multibox solutions. So, hitting 1 on your active screen/instance would cause 1 to be hit on all instances you have up. That is considered "mirroring" which is specifically stated in the ToS as not permitted since you are technically only able to hit 1 on a single toon at a time so, "mirroring" constitutes a level of automation. You must click that 1 on each instance you have up, without assistance from hardware or software.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
