Normalizing Encouraging others to violate ToS with false mass reports

Encouraging other to violate ToS with false mass reports is against the ToS so why are we normalizing mass reporting including GKP participants?

Even if there is no foul play in RMT mass reporting can result in automated bans for players

Cringe.

Mass reporting also extends to people making threats to mass report over loot drama as everyone know how easy it is to anonymously get your guild/friends to mass report someone to punish them due to not getting their childish way with no consequences for false reporting.

Inb4 players come in with some utterly asinine logic that hypothetically, somebody in a GDKP group could have engaged in RMT and therefore it’s reasonable to commit vigilante false positive reports en masse.

Vigilante false reporting isn’t just specifically limited to accusations or ideations of RMT and GKPs - what protection does a player have against against mass reports from a malicious guild or group of players in a scenario where someone has lost a roll for a piece of loot?

As it’s common knowledge that (X) amount of reports will give an automated ban to a player for 7+ days.

You’re right, I just assumed you were talking about GDKP since you mentioned it in your OP.

But yes, it’s just mob mentality, no matter how much people try to justify it.

No, let them keep doing it. The more it happens the sooner it gets fixed. And then we get flooded with the “why am I banned for two weeks” posts. Don’t mess this up, it’s gonna be great and fix a long term problem.

So you’re saying that someone should be mass reported for masterlooting an item to a player whom has correctly won a roll and it’s ok for them to be maliciously punished with a 2 week suspension by the player who lost the roll and his friends/guild with false mass reports?

Anyone that is abusing the reporting tool should be banned

If I report someone who’s acting like a bot, and therefore I believe to be a bot, but don’t know for CERTAIN is a bot, is that a false report?

There is no auto ban feature. The most that can happen from mass reports is a temp squelch on your chat until it’s reviewed.

This tinfoil conspiracy theory has been debunked time after time. Stop listening to reddit and YouTube lawyers.

No, it simply flags it for review for a GM to look at.

then its the same for filing a report against people who gdkp, as doing a gdkp is something that RMTers do. You believe them to be RMTers, but you’re not CERTAIN, so you file a report, and blizzard investigate.

No false report there.

Wrong.

Many scarab lords were mass reported and taken out of the race by competitors, nothing tinfoil about it straight facts, in fact people would pay gold to multi boxers to mass report other people to get them suspended due to the auto ban feature

That was not that straightforward of a story and simply put…no that is not how it works at all, don’t believe me look up the literal 100’s of posts in cs about it.

As you are not at GM and heard many personal recounts of scarab lords getting automated bans from mass reports I am not inclined to believe you

That is correct Tira. It only becomes a false report if blizzard finds out you are being malicious or harassing someone.

Edit: on this front I would say however that in order to report a gdkp for wrong doing you should have some reason to believe that particular one is being in violation of a rule. Just assuming it is because other ones have would be equivalent to me reporting every mage because a mage bot farmed a dungeon once. It probably won’t hold water and COULD get myself in trouble.

I am good with that

So you actually believe that multiple scarab lords on the same server got suspensions for being ‘toxic or gold buying’.

Get a grip. Stop white knighting for a company who’s so understaffed that they had to implement an automated ban system due to insufficient staffing

I’ve ran GDKPs throughout classic, not in SoD, no need yet. So did all of my friends and family. No one I know buys gold. It was a great system. Stop with the paranoia and jealousy that you’re a broke bum. People who RMT are gonna spend gold whereve. GDKP isn’t the problem

Well, luckily I have yet to see a single gdkp on my servers, so I haven’t had to worry about it at all.
