PSA: How To Report Gold Sellers In Classic WOW

Support Customer Support
1

The Classic WOW gold sellers have a new trick and it makes it hard to report them any other way other than manually opening a ticket. But here’s what you do instead:

  • Decline their chat channel invitation
  • Note their name and message them something “Hey!”
  • Right-click their name after you send the message and click “Report Player For” and choose “Spamming”.
  • In the details box, put something like: “Invited me to a chat channel with the name of a gold selling website”

All done.

Thanks Pzykotik! This is definitely more complicated than we would like for submitting a report - we prefer that to be very easy. I will say that the behavior has been noted and reported to the developers. I don’t have anything specific to share regarding how it will be addressed though.

If you want to take these steps to report individuals, you’re more than welcome to! But at the same time I wanted to post and let everyone know that it’s being looked into.

Il vous suffit de rechercher le nom de la personne qui vous a invité sur la chaîne, de lui envoyer un message, de cliquer dessus avec le bouton droit de la souris et de la signaler.

  • Refuser leur invitation au canal de discussion
  • Notez leur nom et envoyez-leur un message “Hey!”
  • Cliquez avec le bouton droit sur leur nom après avoir envoyé le message, cliquez sur “Signaler le joueur pour” et choisissez “Spamming”.
  • Dans la boîte de détails, mettez quelque chose comme: “m’a invité à un canal de discussion avec le nom d’un site Web de vente d’or”…

I’m editing my post as I see now it’s in the first post on how to report them. I use a whisper mod (WIM), so that option doesn’t work for me.

We need an easier way, that doesn’t require me to talk to them to report them.

The devs know it’s not ideal. Hopefully they’ll come up with something to make it simpler.

The sad truth is as long as theres people that want stuff now and easy there will be cockroaches like gold sellers that will take advantage of gullible people that put there account and CC at risk untill people stop being stupid there will always be people that take advantage of that.

Most of the time, reporting gold sellers, etc. disconnects me from the server. >.< I don’t know if the reporting system works. I’ve seen a bot running for over 48 hours straight with extremely obvious paths, movements, actions, looting, etc.

Actualy dc when reporting is usualy due to a corrupted UI try a full UI reset https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/7549

There has been a bug that can cause disconnects if you do multiple ones too quickly. The Devs are aware and investigating it.
