Hello. I found a bug that enabled my character to float and not fall at all. I cannot report it because I would have to be an authorised user, for which I do not meet the criteria.

I joined Warsong Gulch fighting for the Horde and entered the battleground mid-battle (1 flag cap for alliance). The right door out of the flag room was open (the planks were broken down) and I attempted to exit the flag room. I hit the invisible door barrier and could not go further, as though the door was still there. Then I jumped.

My character started floating (while playing the falling animation) and floated to the left edge of the door (if the door was still standing) and became stuck there in the corner of the invisible door barrier and the wall around the door. While my character was "falling", I could only do the things I could normally while falling, so I could not direct my character anywhere and unstuck myself. Then an alliance guy killed me and I could respawn. (I did not screenshot this part because I thought it would go away after I respawned).

When I respawned I was not floating and was on the ground, so I started to walk towards the middle of the battleground. I jumped, and again started "falling".

When I floated to the other end of the battleground (whilst being totally useless to my team), I got stuck against a small hill near the Night elf base and was "falling" there doing nothing, waiting for someone to kill me or for the BG to end. When it ended, I exited the BG. I was floating even outside the battleground.

When I walked, my character walked normally and could even sit, as though I was walking on ground. I decided to head out into the Barrens, and jumped off the hill on which the BG entrance sits.

I left the character floating in that direction while I searched how to post a bug report, for 2 minutes or so. At that point I logged out to see what happens then. The following images are all taken after logging in again.

As you can see my position high up in the air was saved, and I started to fall. I was no longer floating, my character was being affected by physics as he should. I took fall damage, which indicates that the high position was not just a malfunction on my client, but on the server as well. I forgot to take a screenshot of the combat log, so I took one 10 minutes later and scrolled back. You can see the timestamps on the combat log and guild chat match.

I post this report as-is, since it's not really a report, just a forum post. I can list my addons if anyone thinks that was the cause, but I doubt it was the addons. I can also provide additional info if needed, just ask me.

No, you can.

Devs have to do something with this "bug" that shows people that they need to authorize. While ordinary users simply have to log in before trying to do things actually. It confuses a lot.
 
No he really cannot.

Non-autorized users can create issues about specific things, like NPC, quest, etc., but they cannot "Report a Global Bug".
 
Oh. Pardon. Indeed he (and I) can't. We could during the Open Beta, but now it's over.

That's good stupid-guys-filtering system... But it's also a bit awkward. One can always report anything global as an issue to some related item.
 
No he really cannot.

So why is this the first time I hear about it? I don't see any report about this issue https://twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issues.

I can't fix it if I don't know it is broken...

Edit: I didn't find any problems. Even with my test Kronos user (not authorized) I was able to create normal and global reports.
Just keep in mind you have to be logged in to create reports.

Then it seems that I was wrong and some people really can't even...
