Expected behavior

Edit: Removed video from private server and added two others

According to these videos from wowhead classic there should be far fewer adds:

Perhaps someone can verify this.

Video you included is from a private server.

Video you included is from a private server.

Really? How can I distinguish retail videos from private server videos?

There are also two others from wowhead:

In the video, there's no clock displayed. Classic clients include a clock, while vanilla clients do not. If you come across a high-resolution video without a clock, it's extremely likely from a vanilla private server.

However, be aware that videos featuring a clock could still be from private servers.
This is due to HermesProxy, which allow classic clients to connect to vanilla private servers. That said, any video showing a clock that was posted before HermesProxy existed, is always from classic.

[Stoabrogga]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. So the two videos from wowhead seem to be legit, they show a clock and are older than 2022. I will edit the first post accordingly. Sorry for posting a wrong video.

This is still bugged for me.
I don't think there needs to be proof that the entire area of slithid should not link when they are intended to be killed for a level 33 horde quest.

Difference in philosophy, I imagine. Some folks would rather adjust behaviour so that it reflects what is known to be Blizzlike, through sniffs or contemporaneous documentation, and others are fine to tweak behaviour so that it seems Blizzlike.

You might not think that proof should exist first. Some, myself included, would disagree with you.

@ShiyoKozuki Until the issue is fixed I use this on my server:

UPDATE `creature_ai_scripts` SET `x` = 30 WHERE `id` IN (413301,413302);

Thank you!

Confirmed correct behavior on classic, fixed in #2845
