WoW: Forever’s PvP Terrain Debate Is About Where to Draw the Line

Players disagree over whether familiar fence and tunnel jumps belong in PvP, even if out-of-bounds exploits are meant to be fixed.

Jump to TL;DR

Which jumps count?

The thread distinguishes out-of-bounds jumps from fence and tunnel jumps. One participant says the lead developer clearly stated that out-of-bounds exploits would be fixed, while arguing that the remaining jumps are easy to learn and function like arena pillars.[2]

Another player rejects terrain jumps more broadly, arguing that they can stall matches that would otherwise end and give an advantage to people willing or able to use them. That player also says similar behavior drew warnings and bans in Vanilla, and objects to it being accepted in Forever.[3]

The unresolved boundary

A commenter asks whether the disputed category includes tunnel jumps, fence jumps, graveyard jumps, or Horde cart jumps. That question shows why a general promise to address out-of-bounds play may not settle which terrain tactics PvP players consider acceptable.[1][2]

TL;DR

  • One player says the developers intend to fix jumps that take players out of bounds, leaving familiar fence and tunnel jumps as a separate question.[2]
  • The disagreement centers on whether ordinary terrain jumps are fair movement or an unfair way to prolong fights.[1][3]
