Nothing will be done until AQ opens

The ectoplasmic distiller change NEEDED to happen. I don’t understand how people are comparing that to something like diamond flask or even cross-faction collusion during a one-time event. The ectoplasmic distiller was a quest specific item that was generating more threat than the average warrior on any server in classic. A quest item. Rendering the holy trinity role of tanking effectively OBSOLETE. It makes any threat related mechanic on any boss that may require it obsolete. Threat gear would no longer be needed for tanks, just a few stacks of goblin rocket fuel each Tuesday. It is a HORRIFIC game-breaking bug that has infinite potential for abuse.

It is so ludicrous to me that people cannot understand the difference between changing something like that which affects every single raiding guild in classic, versus investigating reports of cross-faction collusion for scarab lord, a one time event that affects maybe 10% of guilds in the game, if that. People complaining about 1:1 HP5 on diamond flask and the snap-shotting also are failing to recognize just how NICHE that is compared to the behavior of the ectoplasmic distiller pre-nerf.

If alliance and horde guilds want to organize a cease-fire on pvp realms and even organize to counter other people from trying to grief their attempt at getting scarab lord, that’s on them and their free to do so. This is absolutely a grey area despite what the ToS may say. We ALL knew this would happen before Classic even launched, due to how broad the range of social media is in today’s world compared to 2005. We didn’t have discord, we didn’t have reddit, we had programs like ventrilo and maybe some privately ran guild websites and forums lol. We definitely didn’t have server discords where the entire server can interact with each other, free of oversight from blizzard themselves. There’s not much in the way they can do to stop this, no matter how much people cry about it.

Now, if those same colluding guilds are abusing an in-game feature like the report a player function, in an attempt to get someone banned or suspended merely because they’re a competitor in attempting to ring the gong, THAT is something that Blizzard absolutely needs to look into and CAN take action against.

#nochanges… AV inbalance? na #nochanges
except when blizzard wants to make a change, like distiller, then screw it #changes

checks out

oh i agree but my point is Blizzard is quick to react on stuff like that which is often trivial in nature and when an even bigger issue like the collusion occurs theyre nowhere to be found

Man up woman this is a MAN’S game.

You wanted the vanilla experience right? Here it is

well of course Blizzard is going to do as little as possible after all the lead Dev for WoW in fact has a scarab mount so he naturally sympathizes with the current race and will not intervene and who is going to disagree with the boss?

It all happened in vanilla, and banning dozens of people for… colluding in some way is tenuous.

Most servers are colluding on discords to complete the AQ war effort but people arent complaining about that.

well heck then lets just give them a medal and thank them for all their hard work after all why punish people for denying others the right to enjoy the event its an every man for themselves thing or in this case it all comes down to who has the deepest pockets that decides who gets the black bug mount right? if they step on the rights of other players to do so big deal they shouldve paid the gold and or got in good with the right people in order to have the rights to stay in the zone

Life is unfair, everyone thinks they deserve anything they want nowadays in this world.

How do you prove that some people pvping are doing it because they’re colluding, and not because they’re just pvping

How do you prove that others aren’t pvping because they’re colluding, and not just because they’re not interested in pvping

It’s a lot harder to prove server disruption in a large enough way that it requires banning than some people discussing AQ carapices over discord.

This is quite simply incorrect.

We might as well give up on this issue @moderators have passed the buc to a box to report too. The moderators on this forum (Blue Posters) should be able and willing to do more to get the ball rolling on a counter. They know we will cry but keep paying our sub monthly. Guaranteed there will not be any more blue response to this topic because “If you dont like it, quit”.
