Please Ban & Replace Raider IO

Any add-on that allows players to stalk another player’s account and harass them like Raider IO does, should be banned.

I understand a lot of people like Raider IO when it comes to forming groups or guilds, so please Blizz make a version of this officially that doesn’t allow for stalking.

I was in a TW dungeon, as the healer. The group had too much in a pull for me to heal, and we died. I apologized, and said I was even learning the class.

The instance chat then had individuals saying I’m just trash and to kick me, because my main hasnt healed higher then Normal Raid.

And I was then whispered on 3 different toons about it after the dungeon.

This isnt my first experience with this, and its concerning that so many MMOs now are getting Stalking add-ons that aren’t being officially banned.

It’s a website. Should we ban the armory and Blizzard’s scoring system, too?

Put whackos on ignore and move on. This isn’t commonplace behavior.

Yes, if it’s not officially moderated by Blizz, it shouldn’t house player data for stalking.

But that’s the thing, most of Blizz’s ignore system only hits on a character level and not an account level.

So even if you ban the whisperer, they can relog and still do it.

Or get your other toons.

I wish it was

No one is stalking you.

And if you can’t use the tools provided to you so that websites don’t track your progress, that’s a you thing.

Incorrect. In game ignore is account wide.

nevermind the RIO is now baked in blizzard LFG system…

you really think bad player will stop being called bad if we remove RIO? hint, before RIO when we had wowprogress you still got harassed, and before wowprogress when you had gearscore samething, and before gearscore when people would inspect you same thing.

What tools are those? Because it pulls the data from WoW.

Was a today hotfix? Because I’ve seen posts from others too saying the account ban wasnt going through

Would be nice if they made a new system that timed higher timed keys heavier.

Press :x: to doubt.

Also, you know you can opt-out from RIO right?

Go into your Battlenet account settings, go to privacy and down to “share game data.”

No, honey. It’s been like that for years.

Report, ignore, move on. Stop giving whackos any more attention or emotion than they deserve. And never respond to them.

Press it all you want, it doesnt mean it didnt happen.

Getting hit by that by one person and then being done with it is one thing.

Its another entirely when they can see your toons like that and harass you all around.

True or not the best advice I can give you OP is to shut off sharing of game data in your bnet options, make a RIO account so you can private your information there, and then work at shrugging off that kind of treatment if you see it again.

People digging through your toons over a wipe in a TW dungeon have bigger problems than you do.

No, but SS or it didn’t happen.

You clearly don’t understand how addons, blizzard APIs and the internet work.

It’s a site. The can’t ban it. They can’t ban any addon either. They can only remove the APIs that allow such addons to work, which would break the whole ecosystem so they’ll never do it.

However, you can man up and ignore these people

Thank you, I didnt know this existed.

Thank you as well.

Kind of a crappy mentality if you assumed without photo evidence that things just didnt happen.

But regardless at least now i can stop it thanks to the above posters

Tbh, what bothered me was them bringing up my main specifically, and whispering me on other toons too about it.

But regardless I now know how to just shut that off. So I’m good
