meavis 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2017 on darrowshire there has been systematic abuse of mind controlling certain players out of battlegrounds for a while now. the standard policy currently in play for this rules these legal as "clever use of game mechanics", which could still be considered a fair policy. problems originating here however, that this is a very one sided policy as in the current warsong gulch map, the horde portal is unwalkable terrain, making it impossible for alliance to send horde through the portal using the most common method of mind control helmet, with next to no priests playing on alliance side alternative methods aren't even available. as a result alliance is powerless as horde keeps abusing this method to fuck over alliance rankers. suggestions would either making the alliance portal unwalkable as is the case for the horde portal, severely cutting down on the ongoing abuse by horde and evening the odds, or to completely outlaw mind controlling people out of battlegrounds, as events have gone out of control and are taking form of targeted harrasment. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darrellia 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2017 Actually people used the MC back in vanilla a lot! I remember play AB going to LM using mind control and throwing him down and he dies. Later on blizzard changed the radius of this. So basically DONT stay close to the portal and you wont go out. IF you are in the roof and they can MC you all the way to the portal then it is a bug. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nelythia 44 Report post Posted March 4, 2017 Its allowed. It shouldn't change. Btw you "abuse" it yourself as "targeted harassment" to mind control specific horde players out. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noiryx 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2017 Cool story bro. Don't dish out what you can't take, you MC'd for a few weeks, now get it done to you and go :salt:. Get good, ice block harder. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meavis 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) @darrellia well that is pretty much the case since the alliance graveyard is withing mind control range of the portal, all they have to do is kill you once and you're out of BG, the only precaution you can take is to not take resses at all, but this is not an option every game.

meavis 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2017 @Noiryx Cherrypicking aside, there's more to consider than just that, firstly that MCing horde out was already reactionary, secondly that all MCing was done in AB, a battleground where both have equal opportunity to MC out the other faction, and thirdly, it wasn't done to accurately target and sink the standing of specific players. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darrellia 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2017 @meavis This is vanilla! You can always use trinkets to get out of the CC and other CDs. Also you can always stun them before they cast the MC. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meavis 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2017 @darrellia for many classes the pvp trinket does not protect you from mind control, the mind control helmet which is the most popular method is instant cast, so theres no interupting it either. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
