Technicalities of Courier Glitch

[aRt)Y]

I still really find it frustrating that if I were to ward the river and I see a bounty rune in the river, that I would not be able to collect the rune with my courier if the techies mined under the rune

That's still legal.

However, should you begin to walk through the forest with the chicken to purposely detonate un-spottet mines, then you are eligible for a ban.
What we ban is the malicious exploit and usage of the glitch - not casual "I spotted the mine with a ward, found the rune and gonna pick it"-play.

It's a fine line and whether you take the risk to be judged as an offender, that's your choice.

I was recently banned for courier glitch exploit: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=93022&p=369015&hilit=pinheadlarry&sid=c2fd42b855e16d9c84cdb5224d408687#p369015

By no means and I appealing this ban nor am I disputing the ban through this post but am looking for some clarification/discussion.

Here are some questions I am hoping to have clarified for future references for bans:
1. Can a courier be used to scout and collect runes?
2. Can a courier be used to scout and collect runes while knowingly going to cross a patch of mines?
3. Can someone strategically place their hero so that the courier will walk over mines if the "transfer items to hero" button is pressed (How can you prove intent in this case?)

The point of discussion I would like to bring up is, while the courier "glitch" may have never intended to be in this version (not in changelog), I feel it is unfair to make a ban when other glitches are not banned. For example in 6.83 lycan glitches horribly quite often which results in a team going down 4v5 without the benefit of the leaver gold. Technically , playing lycan and having him glitch ruins the game making you a game ruiner for your team, yet it is not banned by ent.

Furthermore, using the courier exploit does not give an unfair advantage against a techies-team in my opinion since you leave your courier vulnerable to being killed while attempting to detonate mines. If a courier is killed, the killing team gets 150g each which is almost as much as a tower and is a huge boost early (normally when land couriers are used anyways before being upgraded).

What do you guys think?

I uhhh for a long time never agreed with pinnerhead yet this time i agree.... if oyu can do stuff in any game thats good and you figured it out do anything to win is good... tryin to be thugs take this stuff away from people is nonsense... this story can easily go either way and is impossible to have a right orrrrr a wrong. If you dont like it create a map doesnt allow it, i can no longer dive bomb couriers in fountins with mass visage pets sooo yeah is all screw job thank you hillary clinton... YOU CAN SAY IT IS WRONG TO USE COURIER ON MINE JUST LIKE ALL CAN SAY IS RIGHT is no wrong or right here IS PURE NONSENSE

Trump is malicious and exploited a lot of things to get to where he is anddd id say worse.... courier on mines is smart enless you use maphack and see guy planting mines and run courier right at them... Only thing malicious is mods mass usin techies to ban people for doing what is known as common sense

my spidersense was tingaling with this lizardman and rhino i mean errrr larz and getstumped hahaa check there techies replays i could be way wrong but to me it seemed like they was hunting for bans i could be way wrong.. still what about what the rest i typed on this massive article about how it being right or wrong however you wanted to argue it could go either way... i didnt do homework to know if mods for a fact was fishing with techies for bans tho prolly bad assumption

[gonzoindahouse]

as warcraft player with tons of games this rule comes off as lamer to me thats why i posted

[HazarDous]

Maybe you should stop presenting your beliefs as if they were facts. Anyway, at least you realize that you are probably "way wrong".

You don't seem to understand what a glitch is.

Probably only 2-5% of players understand that since that rule has 0 explanation. It is not important to have in rules all glitches, because that is impossible, but it is a few days job to have most of them sum on one place under rules.

My topic has a point about rules, especially glitches, read from that quote and bellow posts:

And last thing, for fuck sake please update your rules...

Well, this is going nowhere. ENT has stated how the rule is to be interpreted. Thanks.
