I submitted a ticket about having my lockout griefed and was told in response they will investigate and to in the future right click to report. I asked how I am supposed to right click somebody with the 60 seconds before i get kicked out of the liberation of undermine instance when its MASSIVE? When i brought this up my next response promptly ignored this and told me once again to right click to report? Is this was blizz CS is now? Just repeating the same canned response until we give up?

If its a massive place, then be near them when you leave. The GMs ain’t able to make the person appear near to you to report. They can do so much in terms of help without standing next to the person.

You can click on their raid frame to report them if you feel they have done something wrong.
Edit:
Your post is a little confusing, do you mean you got kicked out of a group and weren’t in the raid group anymore? That would explain why you didn’t use the raid frame to report I guess.
That said, kicking someone from a group isn’t really something that GMs can police. If the majority of the raid voted to remove you, that’s unfortunate but not against the rules. They don’t need a reason to remove someone, majority rules.

If you mean someone else who has your same Raid ID is running that raid ID with others. The problem you will have is as far as blizzard is concerned anyone saved to a raid id has as much right to use it as much as anyone else.

o.O
How does one “grief” a lockout? Do you mean that someone from your raid who had the same access to the raid ID as everyone else, finished the raid?
If so, that’s never been against the rules. The raid ID doesn’t belong to any one individual. It belongs to anyone who has it.

Unfortunately, someone invited that person to the raid. Once that happened, that person has just as much right to the lockout as you do, I’m afraid.
Just had this in another thread. There really is no recourse to be had. You’ll need to start a new raid with reset and be more selective with whom you invite.

I believe this one is referring to the other case, where they were removed from Mythic (they mentioned they were kicked). Still, group leaders are allowed to control the membership of their groups so I doubt this runs afoul of any rule either.

Hey all,
The TLDR is we had a raider during mythic prog on mug’zee who had to be removed due to essentially harassment. The following week they logged on early and went and just sat in the instance after we extended in order to prevent us from raiding. Blizzard suggested reporting them for griefing in a ticket but using the right click method which we are unable to do mainly due to the size of the instance. I understand everyone is entitled to the lockout they have however multiple people in the guild submitted tickets and it seems like all the GMs admit that if we right click to report they can take action. A few of us asked in our tickets how we are supposed to do that due to blizzards game design and I was told in response essentially just go and right click them (which i had explained is not possible and why it isn’t) and then they can take action through the correct report.
if they had said we know it sucks but we cant due anything to fix this issue about not being able to properly report than i would accept it. but that isnt what they said.
Apologies for the confusion, Godfaill. Griefing can be a bit of a nebulous thing and doesn’t qualify in all cases.
In this case it seems that the person was part of the raid, which had been removed from the group. Unfortunately, that does not remove the raid ID from them and they do still have access to the raid in that situation. Which, technically speaking they have every right to. It is the unfortunate truth in a social game that you will encounter those that are… kind of a jerk. Often the only option is to start over and hope that the folks that you brought with you mesh better.
As for this situation, if you believe someone is “griefing”, then using the right click report is the appropriate option. Although that requires you to be able to see the person griefing, which is kind of assumed you’d be able to do. It is a limitation that I’m afraid there really isn’t a way around at this time. I’m afraid there is little that Support may be able to do there.
