New Hotfixes Indicate Blizzard May Be Identifying Frog Farmers in MoP Remix
Some new hotfixes were pushed to the live game which indicates that Blizzard may be looking into players who Frog Farmed in MoP Remix. But for what reason?
Around 5:26 PM PST last night, three new hotfixes were added to live servers in the following databases:
- CriteriaTree: Frog Farmer Designer Value
- CriteriaTree: 10.2.7 Timewalking Season — Is Frog Farmer
- Criteria
For the two in CriteriaTree, we know the names and they seem to indicate that Blizzard may be looking to tell the game who was a Frog Farmer. We cannot determine what these hotfixes do, if anything right now.
If they were going to ban people, putting this requirement as a CriteriaTree would be a very abnormal way to identify and do it. Blizzard would likely just internally find out who Frog Farmed and Ban the targeted players. CriteriaTree is normally used for achievement objectives or other hidden trackers which is why this seems like such an odd hotfix. I can see a couple things that this may be used for:
They may add bonus loot, Bronze or drops to those who did NOT Frog Farm and this is how they're telling the game to choose who to give it to.
They may rollback or remove stats from those who did Frog Farm a lot.
They may be for a new achievement requiring players to kill a certain amount of Frogs in an upcoming new achievement.
This is for absolutely nothing.
We'll have to see what, if anything, this is used for in the future.
