Reporting cheaters?

It really baffles me that people can be quite this thick. The jump exploit is not comparable to sprinting or casting interrupts. Those are established officially documented mechanics that function as currently intended within the pvp arena.

The virtual invulnerability granted by staying airborne 99% of a pvp match however is an officially acknowledged exploit specifically discouraged by the games producer.

Lets imagine that through some programming fluke that if you /sit while in the pvp arena you become invulnerable. Would you rationalize that because you can be interrupted while casting it's perfectly acceptable to level the playing field by spending 99% of the game sitting down whenever someone targets you?

If someone is clearly exploiting the mechanic I report them, and if they're on my server I personally call them out on it. The worst case of the exploit I have ever seen was someone from my server, they were jumping so much that at times it appeared like their character model was frozen in the jump animation and just floating through the air, and I warned them against continuing with their BS before more people reported them for it.

In other games if there is a programming fluke, they fix it. They don't say "hey guys, don't do this until next patch or whenever we decide to get around to it." I mean they could just disable jumping until it's resolved. Don't act like it's all the players fault pressing spacebar turns the pvp world upside down. To say this wasn't well tested would be an understatement.

Actually, in other games they ban you for exploiting things for gain against other players before they can patch it: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2009/1...t-none-banned/

Do you think if the exploit in that situation was simply pressing one button on the controller, with no other preparation for the exploit, that they would still ban people in that situation? They would probably have hundreds of thousands of people banned if not more if that was the case.
