Ban WHM Exploiters?

Is SE going to ban people exploiting the WHM cure 2 bug? If they arent I am going to start spamming it to so I can get my Crystal pvp border.

Or they could hurry and fix the bug. Have you done a bug report on the forums?

while SE should definitely fix the bug, if you think it's going to get you to crystal, you're in for a rude awakening...

You might as well spam it. The bug is so easy to do that it's done completely on accident, and unintentionally from the white mage themselves if they're not being an Exploit Mage. Even an interrupt from the enemy team causes the bug so you either sit there and hope they don't use it or you just kill them and hope it works.

Not even sure who's going to get banned, and it seems like they don't have the system in place to lock out a job completely from pvp, so..yea. Not great.

Since now Cure II is on a charge system, you can't use any once you run out. But apparently you can get full charge by cancelling the cast

that explains the 15 whm per team on elemental frontlines i guess, and the broken LB. As we play in teams for frontlines the LB spam kills whole allys at once..

Or you know... Disable WHM in PvP while they work on a fix like any sane company would do?

And make the sprouts who only has WHM leveled be unable to PVP?

Sure? It's not like they can't level another job. I started as GLD, got my PLD and leveled rogue to NIN. Gods be praised for the job switch system.

Hmm I suppose.. Its a horrible bug especially in FL. Still, I just personally feel its unfair.

I don't think they'll ban people exploiting it...but they may reset their rank and force them to climb the ladder again.

You can't ban people for using it when it's incredibly easy to do on accident. I probably did it a dozen times before I knew it was a thing.

Maybe not but the sheer amount of whms in FL tells me people know what they're doing

I find it amazing how many WHM manage to be so bad despite this bug being a thing, even in diamond rank or higher. I absolutely despise this Job in PvP, because whoever rolls WHM, just rides ob easy mode and expects to be carried by Teams being made out of a WAR, DRG, SAM and NIN/RDM.

They forgot to do the testing with the 2 extra weeks per patch they said they are adding to the cycle.

Like I told a friend, there is unfortunately no for sure way you can tell a WHM is playing to use the exploit unless they out right say it because the exploit can happen by complete accident. If not by you moving, then by you being stunned or attacked or anything that can knock you out of mid casting a spell.

This absolutely validates my point I just made. Completely by accident and unaware of the situation.

they'll just do their usual fix of eventually fixing it and apologizing

Got to Crystal the other day as WHM but this is the first I'm hearing of such a bug. Wouldn't be surprised if I did it on accident like other people are saying. If cancelling the cast is all you need to do, then banning for it would hit a TON of innocent bystanders, seeing as cancelling casts is something you do all the time in PvP either to move, guard, recuperate, get pushed or interrupted by an enemy etc...

It's this. Cure 2 is the worst button in the white mages kit so the bug isn't really a big deal. It should still be fixed, but wanting ladder resets and bannings over it is silly.
