That guy was a major dick about it but unfortunately it’s not reportable or a bannable offense. Personally I hate those people who go AFK, refuse to do anything helpful and then whine in BG chat but I never report them (other than the AFK leeches). I hate idiots like this and notice so many more on Ally side (Horde had them too) for whatever reason. But it is what it is. They are allowed to do this no matter how much it pisses us off. And trust me I was in a AV last night where we had 3 people just sitting on their asses south who were complaing about the rest of not going south instead of taking SFGY where we could all ghost walk to. That went on for at least 20 minutes. This AV started at 14-40 to boot so we were pushed back to our cave in no time.
To me, I think it’s sabotage to penalize one’s account, simply because they didn’t pass the Leader Role. Seems like you can still play PvP without having somebody holding the Leader Role.
I know they do.
Griefing, but yea, I agree. No one was in the right here. They could have gotten around it without reporting him.
Your statement about how this situation isn’t a life threat, it suggests that post the OP made, he should have never made it because of that reason. I was just clearing up the fact that the OP was just standing up for himself and it doesn’t matter how small the issue is, its always important to stand up for yourself when being wronged.
Honest question. Do you think OP was being wronged when he was asked to give up lead, or just after he said nah, and got silenced.
I don’t think a growing Community utilizing intimidation and system abuse tactics is a “small” issue. I think it’s a relatively large issue.
You’re still trying to equate the two. One is just being a jerk, which is still perfectly fine. The other is a clear violation of the ToS and systems abuse. Not even in the same universe, let alone same ballpark.
The latter.
I agree, but some people believe the issue is not important because there is no immediate life threat.
Before you all get on your “The people supporting this action have made a lot of assumptions” high horse. I would like to point out that most of you have all made the assumption that this was a pre-made group and are attributing this to the toxic behavior of pre-mades.
Go back and read the OP post, he never even mentioned pre-mades, for all we know this was a group of random PUGs that did this.
Cool just wanted to make sure I was on the same page.
It could be…but most likely it was a premade. It’s hard to get 39 randos to all read the BG chat let alone mass report the dude.
Ehh. All it takes is for someone to type in chat. Report this guy for X. and ppl will do it.
Ah, but if we are going to throw penalty flags around for making assumptions and try to discredit one sides arguments, then let’s be fair about it.
This being a pre-made is a total assumption.
That kinda suggest the pugs had nothing to do with it.
The moderation of these forums are a fine reflection of how consistent they are with in game disputes, vise versa.
To me, it’s difficult to determine what people classify as a “Pre-Made”. Had one person state that 3 people is a “Pre-Made”. Personally, I’ve only ever mentioned “Pre-Mades”, when somebody else brought up that scenario. Either way, anybody participating in Silencing one’s account, simply for not passing the Leadership Role, doesn’t bode well and presents a problem.
It definitely is.
Still if we have to make a educated guess that assumption is the most likely IMHO.

Have a nice life
