Pro Tip: Don't exploit loot rules in LFR's Dragon Soul

A stern but necessary warning from Bashiok today:

Dragon Soul loot exploit

If you are getting loot off of a boss twice then it is an exploit. This has always been the case in World of Warcraft, and we expect players to know better.

We're in the process of implementing a hotfix to fix the exploit, and are deciding what steps we'll be taking for the gear that was already obtained.

We're not going to post about what people are doing (we never have and never will post exactly how the serious exploits are done), but there is a clear and intentional way people are getting a lot of loot out of the Dragon Soul raid using the Raid Finder.

This method they're using gets around the "one shot at loot per week" rule, and it's something that Blizzard clearly from the get-go didn't want to happen. Bashiok is absolutely right as well -- it's well known amongst WoW's experienced playerbase that such exploits are never to be done.

There are reports that some people who've exploited the system are getting the exploited gear stripped from them in the EU; however there is no official announcement yet as to what's happening.

Once that's announced, we'll let you know. Pro Tip: Don't exploit loot rules in LFR's Dragon Soul originally appeared on WoW Insider on Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:20:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
