NPC's Using Language Players Get banned for

Just curious why NPC’s can use profanities or names of quests like Kickin Nass and taken manes. Or Mill House ManaStorms “Open up a can of Woop A**” thats just two that i’ve notice since my ban and the game is infested with them.

There are several quests in which we torture NPCs, in a game about a literal race war.

But we cant /spit on NPCs…

So… ya, WotLK was made in 2008… Before the woke PC crap really set in… I mean it was there just not as mainstream as now. So no one cared… and they left it in because they can’t even get battlegrounds right.

I don’t think peeps need to be cussing people out or anything but sometimes just saying a cuss word directed to no one is a ban lol.

Npcs aren’t players, and npcs aren’t talking in public chat channels.

They can still spit on us though. When you’re a DK and go to the city for your quest chain, guards spit on you. It doesn’t say “on the ground” like when you try to use it.

They won’t add RDF because they want to increase the social aspect but noone can talk to anyone without fear of a communication ban. It’s just ridiculous at this point. The game was designed by degenerates but if you act like one you get banned its actually comical. Trash talking is part of what makes the game enjoyable. The game is designed around it. If I Gank someone all day now i probably get banned for harassment on a pvp server. its a joke.

I talk to people all the time and live a virtual life unafraid of being banned.

So, was the way that those degenerates acted a-ok to you? Was it perfectly fine for them to act that way in your mind?

There is a difference between players mutually engaging in some fun smack talk and just being a jerk online because you can. A little jovial banter is still okay with the caveat that you aren’t doing it in public chat channels in front of others who are not as keen to it as you are or aren’t in on the joke.

There is a place and a time. Just like real life.

No. You won’t.

I feel like there is more to the story of your ban and you’re just being immature about it.

I’m an Older player I was Raised with the sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me Mentality, because be real they are just words and can be manipulated in many ways, like Blizzard does for all their quest lines. Harris Piltons Gigantic sac/bag, thats directly attacking a celebrity based on their lifestyle and its okay but I can’t call someone an idiot or say they are the way I like my cam shafts, fully retarded. Can call me what ever you want why would I care about your opinion of me. Instead of forcing people to speak like suburban brats why not just make people that have soft feelings use the mature language filter so the mature people can speak their mind.

I actually pickpocketed a nude off a troll in Gundrak, not even joking. It’s called Rotund Relic. I’m just pickpocket and the BAM, tatas right in my bags.

i love how everything has to be about RDF now, it’s pretty hilarious how every problem in the game boils down to rdf for some people

It’s a completely different arguement i shouldn’t have brought it up to be honest but it does still apply.

I logged in the other week and had the alert pop up that i was chat silenced for 7 days. Turns out a bunch of people in the 20’s BG bracket chain reported me for saying hunters were overpowered in the lower retail brackets. So yea, like you say, im terrified to even speak anymore. I dont say a single word besides “hello” or “thank you” . Its not just me, it happens to tons and tons of silent people who just never bother posting about it.

I think this says more about you than it does about the game, I don’t know how you come up with “the game was designed around trash talking”

at best it is emergent gameplay, at worst pure degeneracy. In anycase certainly not part of the core gameplay loop.

I said this isn’t Classic Wrath this is Retail Wrath an pretty sure all of Storm Peaks reported me. No need to talk to anyone when you can do the whole dungeon in 2-3 pulls and not die. You Couldn’t “Boost” a Level 70, You couldn’t Buy your flying mount with money. And my personal Favorite there was a Random Dungeon Finder which just happened to be the highlight of the expansion aside from death knights. This is 100% Retail Wrath designed for Retail Players. (I also never ever got a ban for afk/language)
