Former "Lounge 'Denizen' " Checking In

Nobody is supposed to have account wide TL3 in the WoW forums. Well, other than Blues I assume. Anyone who was getting TL3 from the Beta Bnet permissions is going to have to meet the requirements on each character now to keep it. That bug has been corrected.

I have it on this character, but not the others. Not that I am really allowed to post on the others, heh. If I do I can’t be all secretive about it even it is just rating transmogs.

I have to wait 6 months after my last suspension ended to get back TL3?! Holy cow…sad face. (I’m assuming that applies to everyone and not just the beta testers)

That’s fine, but rather than having character specific trust levels, those players are still locked together at account level. Even new characters who have never posted have the same trust level. The account-wide trust levels still exist for them. Just now it punishes all rather than rewards all.

I have a few Lounge friends (like all of 'em) I sure will miss, but at my age, I welcome change, so I hope we all get back together soon. With everything fixed.

If not, I’ll still be around - somewhere, everywhere, all at once! :sunglasses::rofl::+1:

It’s was supposed to apply to everyone all along, but this bug overwrote that for the past couple of years it seems.

I hate that you got caught in this change, Jonãs. Although I still have my trust-level 3 and lounge access, when I just learned a little while ago about the change to those with the beta account-wide TL3, I decided that personally I’m no longer interested in visiting here nor playing the game itself. I understand that the account-level TL3 probably shouldn’t have ever been a side-effect of certain betas or wherever it came from, but it’s un-fun losing it just like that without it being the result of a mod action from reports etc.

Anyway, I’m posting here in your thread so you know I won’t be around. I wish the absolute best for you, Jonãs.

Yes, that is how the current software works. Beta prevented people from losing TL3 when they should have for a suspension.

Thanks for checking in Jonãs! Your threads never bothered me! Look forward in you returning soon !

I lost it too. Had de facto TL3 from an old beta test, and now it’s gone.

No more cat gifs for me.

Pharazon, et al.: Thanks for the kind words, my friends. You know as much as I do at this point. I’m not 100% sure if I’ll be back the way I was before or if I’ll be back at all, but I want to be honest with all of you: I have come close to being suspended already.

Because I fancy myself a “writer”, I write. Sometimes what I write is something which triggers a negative response in someone.

At 74, I’m afraid I don’t think “Is someone going to find this offensive?” , as much as I should. I don’t think “consequentually” (is that a word?) so much anymore - except I do ask myself, “Will they think this is funny?” - And that is where I get in trouble!:roll_eyes::sunglasses:

So Pharazon, please don’t leave any forums on account of this. I’d miss having you to post with, and so would the rest of the kids. :blush::+1:.

Good to see you, Jonas! I’m sad to be ousted, but I’m not up to maintaining forum rep weekly. I may end up mostly on Discord now— who doesn’t stop me from posting cat pics. :grin:

Like everyone else that’s a friend I’ll always have your back to post pics or links and stuff for you when we are in same threads if you can’t do it yourself so never fear on that one my dear. :dracthyr_heart: :dracthyr_heart: :dracthyr_heart:

I can’t remember if you’re in Discord or not. :thinking:

If not and you ever want to chat, I’m around on thallia. :slightly_smiling_face:

Does wow have an official discord? Or just the secret-finding community?

Wow does have an official Discord. But it’s extremely limited and you had to sign up and be invited by Blizz, while signing a contract.

Lord knows I’m not signing a contract to give them my kidney and firstborn just to be told I can only post positivity and no criticism.

OH!! I found it on Google, I had no idea haha. I’m in every game I’m active in Discord, idk why I never thought of wow LOL!

This one has over 100k members, seems to be the one. No contract had to be signed getting in! :slight_smile: Maybe that one you’re referring too is more exclusive/for devs and friends?

Oh. Apparently it was their Discord Community program. Not an actual server.
