Its not the same. Sf is a mode youbopt in to to experience.
People ate not gettimg into raids on a sf account on non hc. People practiced for weeks to level fast and get in the raids asap. With 3 weeks youre literally time gated from them. And idek what else. You only have your bank and bags so you cant even prep for when the restrictions gone.
Blame the gold sellers and those who buy gold from them. Why we can not have nice things!
Just sharing my feedback from a thread I created before it was brought to my attention that this one exists
I am but a mere forgotten relic who was looking to relive some great child hood experiences in the beloved world of Azeroth a wee lad that experienced original Vanilla and TBC with green eyes awe struck by the adventure, vastness and endless opportunity for friendship and camaraderie.
While my return was extremely short-lived due to unforeseen account restrictions forcing my hand. As a farewell I felt remis to not share the feedback I provided in my customer ticket in hopes that future change is possible to better the experience for legit returning/new players:
I will preface this by saying I understand the golden era is gone back when the devs, GMs and support were intertwined and connected to the heartbeat of the game and the players. A true conduit that could action change and assist the life blood of the game (the players) with a genuine strive to do so, as in large players them selves that shared in our love and passion of the game. It saddens me that the support experience has been relegated to a mere formality now.
I digress and would be remiss to at least not provide feedback (despite knowing it will fall on deaf ears). While I applaud and wholeheartedly stand by any action to combat RMT and bots which absolutely destroy the experience for legit players the current implementation is poor and completely destroys the playability for legit returning and new players which are such an integral part for the health of the game.
Points to consider:
It is possible to target RMT in a more elegant way that would still leave the game playable for new players
Mail:
a) Allow sending earned items and gold unrestricted only to characters on the same account. Which is an absolute necessity as not being able to inventory control with bank alts in classic is effectively akin to the game not being playable period.Drastically limit any gold and items sent or received on a sliding scale based on level to other players.
This effectively targets RMT the same way but leaves the game still playable for new players.
AH/Trades:
Given above trade restrictions new accounts would no longer have a way to acquire RMT gold so the following makes sense:
a) Allow restricted trades and purchasing from the AH in both quantity and value on a sliding scale based on level. Since the mail restrictions enforces only earned gold being used. The above trade restrictions also enforce only earned gold.b) There also is a huge gap now cause accounts can sell items in the AH so that means bad actors could list cheap items for huge gold amounts to acquire illicit RMT gold then wait 26 days to further propagate the cycle. A restriction on quantity and value of listed items would need to be imposed on a sliding scale based on level.
New player experience:
a) Unable to give items to alts bank alts which makes the game unplayable as inventory management is integral.b) Unable to legitimately trade and buy from the AH makes progressing infinitely harder unable acquire simple things like bags, items for quests, basic consumables, etc
c) Can’t even at the very least give things to friends/party members which have marginal to no value in the initial leveling curve of the game.
A clear and explicit disclaimer should have been provided when buying gametime indicating the account falls under these restrictions. I am not even sure how you are able to retroactively do this without the consumers prior knowledge in essence completely blind siding them and altering what should be a contract.
An honorable point I would also like to add is that these restrictions also go against the fundamental social construct of the game of why most of us love the original iterations of the game in the first place. These restrictions effectively relegate me to a beggar with a sheer reliance on my friends gifting me things without any means for legitimate reciprocation and this bothers me to the core. I derive sheer joy from being a contributing member to my friends and group instead of a liability and this was the tipping point for me.
This is fresh classic and the biggest change they made was literally never talked about. It wasnt removing gdkp or adding dual spec. It was making the game an rpg instead of a mmo
of course there’s better more elegant ways to fight RMT 
but blizzard decided to go the brute force route of banning GDKP and banning new account trading. it’s simply easier and cheaper for them, no doubt
What does this even mean? You’re literally still here whining.
I mean if that’s what you’re broken up about, the raids won’t even be unlocked yet before the restriction is lifted
I think what all these old heads are saying is we should file a fraud claim with the FTC.
Can you do math?
3 weeks = 21 days < 30 days
I practiced to be able to get into the first raids but i wont be able to. Dame for many that i talk to that came over from eu or picked up the game for the first time in a while.
Btw these restrictions arent just on new accounts. Its also accounts that havent been used in a while. Trash company
Either way. Even if you weren’t trying to raid week 3, its still affecting many people.
Some people lile to just be nice and make bags for other people or just help them out orbplay with friends and cant.
They wont let you mail alts so you cant pit items away for professions for later.
Its easy to defend if you’re not experiencing it. Its like a black mirror episode where youre locked in a monkey and cant do anything but clap your hands together.
Expected that one. You do a very poor job at trying to garner sympathy, you know
Boohoo, you’ll miss one lockout. Allow me to find the words to express my condolences:
It’s not bootlicking to explain the reason a thing exists. If you don’t like it that’s your right, it’s your response to people who are just explaining something that makes them not care about your plight
Maybe next time think about how you talk to people if them biting back upsets you so much
Who tf are you except a troll? Should i have just been like " youre right 3 weeks is more than 30 days" to make you feel good?
Did you read the rest of my post?
Ive been trying my hardest to get this issue seen by blizz and talking to gms just to get rude responses and non answers.
If you cant comprehend how this is ruining the game for tens of thousands of people and will kill the game when we leave then thats on your lack of empathy and cognitive capacity to rationalize things that arent happening to you " 1st order thinking"
go ahead lol they won’t even understand your complaint
I’m a dwarf, actually
You confirmed you cant read more than 1 line of a post.
Must be a hard life
Oh I can, but if there’s nothing of value in it there’s no point in responding to it
Well you didnt know 21 < 30 so dont talk to me about value.
And if you had any values you could understand the anxiety people are feeling right now with these limitations.
EVERYONE SHOULD OPEN TICKETS FOR THIS AND NEVER ALLOW THEM TO BE CLOSED
What is funny is this policy is actively encouraging RMT. I have an application in for a raiding guild on their discord and someone made the complaint about not being able to trade and of course another stepped up and offered to sell in real money whatever they need. The worst part was more than one person offered to pay so now I expect more than a few new sellers.
I expect to be rejected as I did post my account is locked as well and everyone is expected to contribute mats and such.
Well, that’s your opinion and you have every right to it. But like I said, it’s not that you disagree with it that people are getting uppity with you, it’s that you seem to be incapable of expressing that opinion without insulting the people who are explaining it to you
Now, if you want to keep making yourself look like a spoiled child I can start treating you like Freshhcwhen, if you like
Spoiled child it is, then. Shouldn’t you be in school right now?
Oh hell it’s Saturday, shows how much I’m paying attention
