When can we expect to receive our titles? I would really like to swap factions.

We don’t have a lot of precedent since it’s only been around for 2 seasons, but last season it took 24 days. If it’s the same time-frame this time, then the expected date is November 17th
Looks like pvp titles went out today, hopefully m+ is soon

The Mythic+ Shrouded Hero title will be going out to players today.
In this region, we had to disqualify some players who abused a buff from sharing a legacy quest to achieve their top scores.
The cutoff score of 3087 did not change following disqualifications.
Congratulations to all Shrouded Heroes!

Sigh… The Alliance Needs Copper Bars! is again way to strong 
Will there be any notification or email addressing those who were disqualified? Because lets say for example this buff was used for a key, but the key was not timed for score or completed in general. Then they never used it again, would they still be disqualified?
I took a break for s4 but glad to see this was done. For all the people asking about open policy cough Reddit cough don’t do shady things and you won’t have to guess if something will be bannable or not. I do not feel bad for anyone exploiting. Also just because other people got away with other things doesn’t make this one ok. Can’t stand the “oh well they never said it was wrong” or the “well these people did this and nothing happened” logic. When you knowingly do something sus you accept any and all risks. I am not saying the people who got away with it other things are ok.
How nefarious. 
The devil is in the details.
- Would that mean that if you ever had the buff, even if you didnt do any m+, you get disqualified?
- Would that mean that if you ever had it on any m+, even if it was on a +2 or a +5, will you get disqualified?
- Would that mean that if 1 person on your group had it, on any time, would you get disqualified?
- Would that mean if everybody in your group but you had it, would you get disqualified?
- Would that mean that you could only get disqualified if by having the buff, you gained score?
- What if you had 3.3k score for example and then you just did a m+, then got 1 point with the buff, would you get disqualified?
- What if you had 3.3k score for example and then you just did a m+, then you didnt got any points, would you get disqualified?

Interesting.
Do you plan on altering any other vanity rewards from people abusing a bug to obtain the reward easier?
Love being punished for Blizz lack of communication. Without knowledge whether this buff is banable, meant not using it those that were using it had an advantage. With cutoffs being so tight, how could blizzard justify punishing players being subject to poor-communication and a bug presented by the organisation. I submitted a bug report that wasn’t addressed until a week later. While fixing the bug, a simple announcement would have sufficed to make sure no one feels pressured into using a buff that no one knew what the consequences would be.

It was a 5% stat buff, everyone who did this knew it was a huge advantage, yes the seasonal affix gave you a specific targeted buff. but this buffed all stats.
Blizzard is 100% in the right disqualifying people who did this.

Cheaters knew what they were doing. 5% stats on every one is like 2 free key levels.

If Blizz made an announcement that those that used it would be disqualified, and then peeps still used it, then yes the disqualification is fair and justified. But without any information, and the peeps pushing for cutoff know other people are using it, even if they don’t want to use it they are pressured into using it because they don’t know if Blizz will catch on and punish those that used it.
If someone drove 80Km/hr in a 60km/hr zone, without any notification or signage or houses, you can’t punish that person because the proper information wasn’t provided to the person. After the regulators put up proper information, then they can enforce punishment for breaking those rules. How is it the drivers fault without knowing what the rules are.

I think the problem is how easy it was to share and be oblivious to the exploit being present especially in pugs (you know when memers share old AQ quests and such? First time someone shared it with me I thought it was a joke until half way through the key they said it was giving MotW). I know of many people that did a key with it unknowingly so I wouldn’t say its entirely fair for those people that didn’t exploit it on purpose to be punished while some people did every one of their scored keys in the last 2 weeks with the buff. We’ll just have to wait and see how blizz handles the “devil in the details” like the guy above described. Theres a lot of grey area since bug abuse like urn stacks, or breaking bosses has been prevalent for multiple seasons now and theres never really been a president set before (even Echo bug abused to win MDI so where is that line drawn?)

Were the titles actually distributed today? No one on my team has received theirs - we’re all well above cutoff and absolutely did not touch anything that is DQ-able. Got us stressing over here that we’ve been inadvertently flagged somehow.

Lol people are so cute. You didn’t happen to stumble upon a 5% stat buff through normal gameplay and innocently or unintentionally used it. You’re a filthy rotten cheater and got off easy…like always.
Kudos to those who deservedly earned the titles.
Where title
