I can’t seem to find the statement that Fesz quoted. It may possibly be yet another case of Fesz Fiction going around.

Retail.
Even Blizzard has said that retail and Classic are separate (different) games.

Go ahead and spam it, then.
Holy moly Batman! Way to take something from a completely different thread way, way way out of context. I guess there’s absolutely nothing from Retail that will be used in Classic because they’re completely different games.
Oh…wait…

When did I say that nothing from retail will be used?
The fact that they are, according to Blizzard, “two separate games entirely” means that a system that is used in retail will not necessarily be implemented in Classic in the same manner it functions in retail, though.
Find that citation yet, Fesz?
Do a search for posts by Ythisens and tell me what results are returned.
I’m sorry, are you really asking me to find a citation for you of what you are saying happened “if you are not mistaken”? Fairly certain the burden is not on me.
What does that have to do with right click reporting.
No. I AM asking yo to do a forum search for posts by Ythisens and tell me what results are returned, though.
I tried to search for posts by Ythisens using keywords and no posts by Ythisens were returned.
I then tried to do a search for any posts by Ythisens and not one post by Ythisens was returned. Posts by Ythisens DO exist, though. This is obvious because I just quoted one. I can also scroll manually through all the threads and see posts by Ythisens in some threads.
I asked you to do that search and let us know what results were returned because I wanted to see if the search tool was not acting properly. That is the only reason.
The fact that they are, according to Blizzard, “two separate games entirely” means that a system that is used in retail will not necessarily be implemented in Classic in the same manner it functions in retail, though.
Blizzard could implement the right click report in Classic without tying it to a player imposed punishment system, they could retain the player imposed punishment but require more reports to be received before that player imposed punishment is triggered or they could implement the right click report exactly as it is in BFA.
Fair enough. Though I do wonder what it is they plan to do with it.
Because you didn’t want to spend 30 seconds looking through the Blizz Tracker at the top of the forum, you decided you would just make something up instead:
Make up something?
I see you are still trying desperately to redeem yourself in your own eyes by attacking me.
Why don’t YOU try the forum search I described and tell us all what results YOUR search returns and provide a screenshot of those returns, as well?
Wow… this is getting really sad.

No blue ever posted anything before Oct. 23, 2018, right?
Did you ever think that maybe I DID check that thread?
BTW, did you try that forum searched I asked you to try? If you did, were your results any different than the results I got? If you claim your results were different, I’m sure you can post a screenshot to back up that claim.

Ideal in a perfect world, but the system is flawed by design. The mechanisms in place that force a disconnect are purely toxic; and it’s not something I think the developers can simply fix with changing code, but is an unfortunate function of how “rights” are established with their server OS… This is something I am actually familiar with, not specifically their system but if it works how I think that it does, then the disconnect associated with a squelch is just the unfortunate side effect of the system at play.
That disconnect is purely toxic in Classic WoW, and in RBG for modern WoW. It works more effectively than a DDOS because you cant be arrested for it simply because its not a “legal crime”, instead you’re abusing a broken system design; and I am not talking about the server OS, but about the design of the tool they have built on the World of Warcraft end of things.
Eliminating the DC is key to a good quality game and so long as that disconnect is a component in the “system” the Squelch component is game breaking.
Worse, it’s not just about mouthing off in chat; Blizzard has for a VERY long time been lenient on players who do bad things regardless of how decent people like you and I feel about it… This is because they don’t like to deprive their customer base of being able to play the game.
Modern World of WarCraft is a single player game with multi player functionality included. Overall Modern WoW is a single player game, and there really is not much of the content that you need to pre-form a group for. Rated BG, Arena and REAL raiding like Mythic are the only things that require an actual pre-formed group. The fact that LFR / LFD and Solo Q BG’s / Arena skirmishes exist in addition to world NPC’s that can be killed by a level 1 rabbit means that it’s indeed a solo player’s game… This means that “SQUELCH” while annoying to the player who get’s Squelched; it’s not game breaking because the game is essentially a solo players game.
Now contrast that to Classic WoW.
Classic WoW is a very different animal, you NEED a group to play Classic WoW, and the only way you can get that group is though chat. Getting Squelched may as well just DC you and not let you log back on because that’s roughly where you are after that takes place… Totally up the creek; this is something I very much doubt that Blizzard will be in favor of given their lenient nature and the design implementation of Squelch in the modern game being only a very minor slap on the wrist regarding the game play and interaction.
Now when you look at what Squelch does in Classic; that’s an entirely different kind of punishment because it’s no longer just a slap on the wrist but in fact GAME OVER for that player.
At the end of the day SQUELCH does not work in Classic at all what so ever because the way the game is played is entirely different.
It’s also game breaking because it can be abused in a much more toxic way overall due to the nature of Classic WoW.
These are only 2 reasons why Squelch is bad and should not be included.

Sorry bud, but after taking time out of my day earlier to defend my reputation after being called a liar by an unhinged cheerleader of yours, I am not obliged to do your research for you.
The blue tracker I linked shows Y’s posts all the way up to the 11th of this month.
