Rules ?
« on: August 16, 2011, 12:59:49 PM »
Is it against the rules to join a posted mission, launch with it and get the briefing, then bail out & change countries to the one being attacked by said mission and attack the mission?

I know it's bad manners but I have no idea whether or not it's against the rules.  I'm not out to report anyone, I'm just curious.

The mission was successful and the mission executed the person who switched, that's justice enough for me.

I don't know what people do in WOW, but this is what can happen when mom makes them go without.

Rules on AH, LOL.   More like playing far.  Yes, there are some people who do this.

Amazing. Never ever seen this.
Btw, if it would be against the rules, he couldnt manage to switch once he participated.

I thought the 12 hour switch change was supposed to prevent this from happening.

/sarcasm

Hopefully, the delay will decrease from 12 hours to something more reasonable.

Why switch sides?

Just announce it on 200 or PM someone.

why? why would it bother you when someone switches to find a fight...seems pretty screwed up that you think you can dictate how others play.

The only rule is to not be a dick, which is completely subjective to the person involved.  So yeah, it was okay for him to do that as long as he didn't consider himself to be a dick while he was doing it.

What are you going to do if they have 2 accounts? Ban them from using some outside communication source like e-mail, text messages, Skype, or Teamspeak?

If they want to 'spie', nothing you do will prevent it. Quit punishing the rest of us with the paranoia.
