Right, I mean I know how to avoid having it happen, but what I'm arguing is the failed hide mode it puts you into is not classic and would not have happened on classic. The correct behavior is the failed hide message: "You must stand perfectly still to hide"

What I'm saying is yes, it should make hide fail, absolutely - but it should give you the failed hide message instead of the successful message, and the hide button should pop back up after the cooldown timer expires.
