Thread: Glitches that go unpunished...

Ok, first of all I am making this post not to blame any admins, but to ensure that certain "glitches" don't go unpunished.

Since TTP is so vigilant to keep glitchers and cheaters out (see quickswitching), I believe there should be some consistency on this matter. For example, today on Train, the CT's were repeatedly defusing the bomb thru the train, without the knowledge of the T's. This is considered a glitch because it is not possible to defuse something thru solid metal i.e. trains. Similarly on D2 you can defuse the bomb thru the wall at along A.

There are many other glitches that are currently not being punished, such as water plant in bombsite B in inferno. I feel that if we are going to punish people for quickswitching (an outdated glitch that provides no relevant advantage) then we should punish people who are blatantly "Glitch Defusing" or "Glitch Planting."

If there are other glitches I have not thought off, please post it in this thread, and I hope the right people decide to make these acts punishable.

While i agree with you Rage in the fact that people should not be allowed to exploit glitches or unintended aspects of the game... its always going to be tough to truly define what is and is not a glitch.. not to mention have any type of consistency in terms of punishment for use of the glitch. Quickswitching is something that the vast majority of public servers do NOT allow... whereas glitches like defusing through something or planting in a glitch are largely ignored and allowed. The admins already have life tough enough watching out for all sorts of other problems and trying to police something such as defusing through an object is going to be quite tough.

The best bet for situations like this is still to report it to an admin or ask nicely for the people in the server to attempt to refrain from pulling shit like that. Its not always going to work but maybe some will chill on it. I was on CT's on train and honestly i didnt notice any people defusing through the train... but even if i had... all i can really do is ask them to stop since there is no rule preventing it.

I'm not an admin, and I barely qualify as a "reg" since I've only been here a few months, but I personally find the trick-defuses detestable....


not because they're "not realistic" hell, it's a video game, we play to get AWAY from the "realisms" of life....but because it's just unfair.

Sure, if they were more common, then yeah, go right ahead...but I so rarely see them that it's downright frustrating when they do happen.

Wow, are you serious, I for one have NEVER been to a pub that punishes quickswitching. If anything this is a harder glitch to catch than the guy doing an illegal defuse. You are either illegal defusing or your not, there is always a grey area in quickswitching.

Ok, if its that difficult for the admin to catch the guy "glitch defusing" then he can listen to the multitude of regs telling him about it. I for one have told many admins many times about an awper quickswitching.

And don't tell me its "ignored" by many servers so we can't do anything about it. You know ttp is not like the other servers. Heck even in the major leagues like CAL, CGS, CEVO, this glitch is against the rules.

I am serious... ive been in many many pubs and the vast majority frown on quickswitching at the very least... ban at the very most. It honestly just depends on how active the admins are.... because even if a server frowns or bans for quickswitching.. if the admins arnt halfway decent or doing their job then it often gets overlooked because as you said.. its not all that obvious to the untrained eye. We notice it more in TTP then other servers because the admins are very observant most of the time and are around a LOT in comparison to many other servers.

And rage.. i AGREE with you that glitches should be punishable.. im just stating that quickswitching is obvious... either someones doing it or they are not... however illegal plants and defuses are a bit tougher to police because theres more variables. Defusing through the corner of a train car where you can still see the corner of the bomb but the other team cant see you..... is that an illegal defuse? You would have to figure out exactly what is and is not a glitch for every unique situation.... unlike quickswitching which is a simple yes or no. Get my point? <3
