Authenticator... Who thought this was a good idea?

We had a tool to fix this. They didn’t do anything with it.

The current president of Bliz was streaming his own key sales.

I run keys and none of that ever stopped me from running them.

Keep staring at it because looking away or scrolling past it is just a bit too difficult.

Blizz cant seem to stop screwing up. I wish they would just kill wow and be done with it.

Again, while technically true, the number of advertisements was quite large and more advertisements were replacing the ones that Blizzard nuked. It was a game of whack-a-mole, only with far less fun involved for everyone.

Blizzard had to do something to stop the vast majority of the advertisements and they did.

This was something we asked them to do, mind you. We were constantly telling Blizzard to do something about the advertisements. Well this is it.

Tech changes and the people evading the solutions that tech seeks to provide change as well.

idk what tool you’re referring to but it would seem the current authenticator change is working quite well since I only saw that 1 wts ad in dungeons and 0 in raid lol

“It’s not a problem if I put a rug over it.” - you

Any efforts made to ease up on it or methods of getting around it would just mean we go back to 20+ wts posts every time you look.

It sucks, but what are you gonna do?

inb4 authenticator to speak in trade chat? :laughing:

I wonder if one day people will learn that when you ask Blizzard for something they aren’t going to implement the fantasy version you have in your head they are going to come up with something you might not like. #rollThoseDice

You forgot to close your quotes and you used an underscore :slight_smile:

In order to know something is what I don’t like I first have to look at it, if I don’t look at it there’s no way for me to know I don’t like it :man_shrugging: Which is why I employ several addons to trim all the junk I don’t need to see :smiley:

I have the literal Cadilac of cell phone plans. Not only do I pay for one phone with unlimited hot spot data I pay for 5.

I had no issue running keys before this. That’s a you problem. Get gud.

Your tears of cope are so delicious. I report the listings and then play the game. And then I sleep happy without a bother.

Not my fault you are complacent with having the neighborhood go to crap.

A me problem that you can’t use a phone ? OK buddy /pats head I’m done here with you lmao :rofl:

Does your rear every get jealous of the crap that comes out of your mouth?

I like how you arrive at that conclusion, as well as the other that "i must be a key seller because I feel this change is unwarranted and unnecessary.

What else do you see in that fuzzy crystal ball of yours??

Okay, here’s the thing…

Let’s say I’m a new player. I hit 60 and I want to get started in Mythic dungeons, so, I open up the group finder and I search for a group.

Pre-9.1.5: I would have seen mostly advertisements for boosting services. Not only would it have made it difficult for me to find a group that I could join but if I decided to start a group, other people may have trouble finding my group because of all those advertisements.

Post-9.1.5: I see more legitimate groups than boosting services. It’s easier for me to find a group, and if I decide to host one, it will be easier for others to see my group.

There’s a clear winner here, and it’s Post-9.1.5 by a long shot.

The advertisements are still there, in smaller numbers but they will be back. Only a fool would believe otherwise.

This is just a temporary bandaid for a problem that Bliz could have approached by actually addressing the issue with technical support and banning those who are responsible for this. Instead, they chose to limit game features for those of us who do not want the invasiveness of a game accessory being added to our phones.

The bots are just gonna make another account the very same second they get banned.

It’s not possible to ban one at a time.

Hardware bans are a thing these days.
