My friend, not to instruct you, but there are higher levels beyond what you’re indicating. Eventually, you might become part of their system as well. This is alluded to in their information about different tiers. There are levels 1-2-3, and then there are even higher ones that are nearly impossible to attain. If you take the time to read about the other levels, you might grasp my point. As of my last reading, there are more than three, but you need to have been active for 50% of your online time or something similar. You also have the opportunity to establish a closer connection with the system, becoming a more loyal and dependable figure for it. I might be mistaken, but I’m quite confident that there are other possibilities beyond just level 3.
You mentioned individuals, but I believe you misunderstood my point. I didn’t mean that individuals would see your level, as they likely cannot view your level if I’m correct. I was referring more to forum administrators.
If you are interested in exploring slightly higher levels, here is the information for you to peruse. I have provided it to offer you the opportunity to further acquaint yourself with the forum’s intricacies and nuances. Feel free to indulge in this resource to expand your understanding of the platform, my dear friend. ^^
Hm, interesting. Never actually read the Discourse site itself for more info. I assume the 5th level would be reserved for staff members. Anyway, what information I have is based off what Blizzard themselves gave us:
While that might be the Hearthstone forums, these forums all share the Discourse framework so I would assume it works the same way (There hasn’t been anything to disprove it, anyway)
As for viewing levels… You can, actually. It’s a line of text that you can see from your profile page (Middle mouse button on your name at the start of your posts) and adding .json to it in the URL. From what I can see you would be at a Trust Level of 2 at the moment. Any permissions you have you can see from the link I posted.
I wished he was right about the game being finished. But reality isn’t that way. I truly hope that one day they realize it’s not the case.
I just find it strange that one can believe the game is finished.
To you, brotherRoga. It wasn’t intended to dictate others’ opinions about his post. What I meant was that forum admins might pay more attention to Captain’s posts than they would to a level 0, and they might be more likely to listen. So, I’m suggesting to Captain that he should refrain from stating that everything is fine with the game when it’s not true. He even emphasizes that the game is “error-free” in a sense. Thus, I wanted him to be cautious in what he says, as admins might assume that there’s nothing wrong with the game. Since Captain doesn’t have any issues, they could attribute the problems to users’ computers. However, if he keeps doing so, I might start perceiving his actions as an attempt to undermine others’ discussions by providing misleading information that prevents them from addressing the game’s issues. Nonetheless, I remain hopeful that he’s not doing this to sabotage. I believe he might not experience the same problems we do. ^^
Well, it was mostly due to me never noticing the 0 before. That and if level 4 is for staff only as I suspect, there would be no reason for us regular users to know about it’s existence. If anything, keeping us in the dark about that is a bit of an inbuilt security mechanism after a fashion.
As for the hierarchy… Eh, I doubt that actually. I think it has different criteria for raising your trust level, yes, but the idea of different frameworks for every forum makes no sense.
Leaders are regulars who have been around forever and seen everything. They set a positive example for the community through their actions and their posts. If you need advice, these are the folks you turn to first, and they’ve earned the highest level of community trust, such that they are almost moderators within the community already.
Users at trust level 4 can…

I’m not sure why your trying to move the goalpost by bringing the game’s problems into your reply.
What is wrong, or its ratio to what’s right, was never my point. Only that a lot has been fixed/restored was. I said nothing about what remains.
Besides, it’s no different than any other ‘completed’ game now. WoW has countless issues, and if one tried your ratio approach, it would be on par with Reforged.
Thus the game is now on the same refund policy as all the others.
Roga is correct about the same hierarchy across all forums.
All the forums use the same 0-4 hierarchy. The diffences between the games’ forums are the criteria for reaching certain TLs.
What are you talking about? Roga didn’t mention 0-4; he said there are only 3 levels. He also mentioned that the 4th level is for admins, so I don’t understand how you’re saying Roga is right in his statement. How can he be right if he only mentioned 3 levels?
I’m not moving the goal post. I remain at my initial intent: there is a lot of things (still) wrong with this game, so much it still warrants the refund policy. By no means this game is sufficiently finished and the good-to-bad ratio seems fair enough of a metric to get some gist on why.
We are not talking about WoW. We are talking about W3 where ladder doesn’t work, stats are bugged, there is no match making, plenty of joinbugs, unexpected errors, icons are stored locally, stats are misrepresented, server flukes beyond reasonable often.
None of that is a reasonable issue after 3 years, considering the game still cost full price. Even more than most remasters.
I think you’re absolutely right, Kiezel. However, some people have different motives for saying what they do. There’s nothing we can do to change their life goals ^^.
You are still missing the point entirely. This game is still in a state that warrants a full refund. No questions asked. There is a myriad of issues, and many are still from launch and/or when the feature was implemented. The game is years behind on where legacy ended.
And yes, it does preclude you or anyone else. It is inherently a whataboutism fallacy.
Frankly, I don’t agree. The standard refund policy is more than sufficient. The current game state is irrelevant. Everyone who was so disgusted with the game when it came out has had literal years to request a refund. Anyone else who might be buying the game today should be able to do decide for themselves what kind of state it’s in and whether or not they want to keep playing it within battle dot net’s refund window. it doesn’t take more than minutes to find out if you can’t get past the lion’s gate, get a black screen or crash all the time.
the current policy is if you haven’t played for 2 hours you can refund the game 14 days after buying it
that’s stupid as the game is still a bug infested mess and it’s very possible to not be aware of that in that window of time what with the trappings of modern life and such
You asserted that “literally nothing has been fixed since release”. Again, Kiezel, you are mistaken. And in response, all I said was a lot has been fixed, nothing else.
I know there are still issues, just like every other game, some with just as many if not more than Reforged. However, again, that was never my point. Also, I never made claims about the appropriateness of the refund change, hence that was never my point either.
Meaning, I’ve missed no point.
Everything else has been you trying to misdirect away from my point in some sort of goalpost moving attempt to stay afloat.
So now you won’t allow detractors to use examples of analgous scenarios.
Lol, a whataboutism. My example wasn’t a refusal to answer a question of yours, nor did my example present a counter question. Careful when trying to play an intellectual concept card on people. If you play it at an inappropriate time…
I was not aware of the 4th level’s existence before, that is why I said there were only 3 at the time. But when you showed the documentation on the forum system’s own website, I became aware of the 4th level and realized this must be the 4th level you were talking about in the first place.
