Blizzard Enforces Bans for Reputation Exploits Ahead of Race for World First

As the Race for World First in Nerub-ar Palace kicks off with its Heroic week, Blizzard has begun issuing bans to players who exploited reputation gains. These bans, reportedly lasting four days, target those who took advantage of excessive reputation gains, potentially impacting team compositions during the race.

Impact on the Race for World First

The situation highlights the ongoing challenge of maintaining fair play in competitive environments.As the Race for World First progresses, the impact of these bans will become more apparent, potentially influencing strategies and outcomes in the highly competitive raid scene.
