Welcome to the General Discussion forum! This forum is here to provide you with a friendly environment where you can discuss all aspects of World of Warcraft with other players.
Please dont post in general discussion expecting to pass feedback onto game devs.
You would find a greater chance of having a discussion with game devs surrounding trade chat boost spam in the customer support forums.
The Customer Support forum cultivates a beneficial relationship between our support departments and player community by providing a friendly environment where players can exchange information, access self-help resources, discuss in-game issues, and receive meaningful guidance through personal and fun interactions with Blizzard representatives.
The representatives who staff this forum are dedicated to providing our players with the information and resources necessary to help ensure in-game experiences are as [EPIC] as possible. As part of this effort, visitors of this forum can expect to find a host of information pertaining to in-game and account issues.
You dont know the difference between a temp squealch thats designed to prevent further disruption to other players (prevents you from damaging their game experience with your spam) and a permant mark on your account. Every single squealch is investigated by a person and action is either taken or removed. The only thing thats automated is the tool that prevents spammers from degrading the quality of the game further.
Thatâs because this blight is one of the reasons wow is in decline. While some players are of course willing to pay to have people run them through things many, and I would wager the vast majority, see this as a terrible and vile practice exemplifying everything wrong with the modern video game industry.
Short term, you get some gold.
Long term, you help normalize RMT.
And in WoW if you donât like something you report it and automation takes care of it because they donât hire enough QA staff, and what they do have is underpaid and likely doesnât care.
You know devs have replied directly in general post forums in the past. Iâm not even trying to give feedback or reach the devs. Iâm not sure what you read but my post is clearly addressing the community. You are clearly not living in reality so its pointless to try to convince you.
So you are admitting to abusing the reporting system for the purpose of harming people you personally donât like. but Iâm sure this is the only instance of someone doing this. right?
Nice try, dude. Boosting is disgusting. I donât report because Iâm not a Karen, but that doesnât take away from the fact that you are defending a disgusting practice that brings down the level of the entire game community while destroying any sense of fairness in the game. The fact that you can enthusiastically live with that tells us all we need to know about you. /ignore
Whenever I see these topics I always have that first impression that the full story hasnât been conveyed to us. Maybe because Iâve seen this 100s of times before.
