Premades using something to kick players offline

Maybe talk to your ISP

Mass reports would do it. AV premades are cancer. They should fix the reporting to not do that.

If I were investing in a futures market for BC and Wraith servers being released.

I would be pulling my money out based solely on the actions of the current player base.

sound like people found many exploit more than anything else.

You should post your question on the Customer Service forum, not General. No one can help you here, over there they can.

Unprovoked? I am betting OP has joined many AVs where the ā€œpremadesā€ dodged the queue and he started with 10-15 alliance, lost in 20 minutes and gained little to no bonus honor. That would be enough provoking for anyone to say, ā€œeff you premades.ā€

Not only are premades causing hardship to other players, but they are also abusing the report functionā€¦ Iā€™m sure Blizzard is working on something to combat this behavior since it is now effecting the support process as well as other players.

No they didnā€™t. If enough people flag you at the same time it immediately kicks you bypassing the entire debuff sequence. That hasnā€™t changed.

TIL. I thought it was a problem for slow mounts because they cant get to the middle fast enough to do any pvp before they get kicked if they get reported before it starts.

This method of reporting is also against TOS if used for false reporting so they may be doing everyone a favor if the victims report the behavior.

I donā€™t see why the premade needed assist. You are already coordinated on a discord, you really marks to get your group to drek?

To me it sounds like some gogogogurts abusing in game systems to get what they want. Shameful.

Mark Tanks, reorganize raid groups.

Yeah you need to mark all your tanks to rush down to drek. Sorry I donā€™t buy it.

oh here comes the 30 sec clap back

No, but its certainly easier for the people not in the premade to follow marks. And also assigning groups to tasks like killing Ltā€™s.

He doesnā€™t ā€œhave toā€ do anything. Itā€™s a best practice. Itā€™s to help the team win. Itā€™s a big help actually at zero personal cost to the random raid leader.

And guess itā€™s also a good time to explain, people donā€™t ā€œhave toā€ group with him either. if he wants to intentionally harm the team, then heā€™s going to be removed. this is a cooperative mp game mode. if heā€™s not going to cooperate, then people are going to choose not to group with him.

Sure, if there was a vote-kick function similar to retail. But falsely reporting some one is NOT the same as using a vote kick. The flags on someoneā€™s account are seriousā€¦especially is someone does not know how to appeal them.

OP are you getting kicked Offline, or just out of AV? You wrote offline, but Iā€™m trying to see how that would happen. The AFK report should just remove your from AV and give you deserter.

i feel a premade already has ā€œenough to help the team winā€. and i somtimes give it to 1 person.

but never assist all. premades have caused enough damage to the game it would be wrong to reward them further.

hopefully those who are abusing the report feature will get actioned, and hopefully those (like myself) who didnt even know this was a thing will now know and make sure to appeal the account action so the GMs look into it.

It sounds like heā€™s getting mass reported for spamming, the game then boots you to log-in screen and when you come back youā€™re squelched from all chat. They use that function to pass leadership when the person is offline.

So he ends up back in the same AV, just not lead anymore? I see.

Yes, but punished as if he were spamming.
