I personally have not seen that here, but I’ll rephrase anyway: “By ‘we’, I’m talking about those of us who are against RCR for legitimate (IE, non-abusive) reasons.”
Well, it’s not like they wouldn’t still get in trouble for doing so. Reporting people was still a thing, even back in Vanilla, and very real bans were handed out for such behavior. Regularly.
That sounds great and all, but the system can’t differentiate legitimate issues from frivolous ones; it just hands out squelches once a certain threshold is met.
Now, they could just remove the auto-squelch feature, but what does that really do except make it easier to report someone? Does that really lead to higher quality gameplay? I don’t think so. I think it just makes it easier to report someone for frivolous things, which just increases the pile of work GMs have to get through to get to the real issues.
If someone is acting like a true jerk, then it isn’t a big deal to open up the menu and create a ticket. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that if it wasn’t worth taking the additional 10 seconds to do even that, it wasn’t worth reporting in the first place. It’s a self-moderating system.
Since I never said either of those things, let alone explicitly to you or anyone else, obviously not 100% of the people in this thread have done so.
Are there people that have that attitude? Yes, but not everyone does.
Those who choose to violate the TOS should be reported and Blizzard should take the appropriate action. I do not believe that punishment of any sort, including squelches, should be left in the hands of the players.
Standing in a shop having a nice, civil conversation with others in that shop while people are trying to buy and sell things is hardly anti-social, IMO.
My mistake, not this thread. I got this mixed up with another discussion, apologies.
It starts getting wild about halfway through. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s worth the read though.
I totally agree that if blizzard came out and said “yep, we’re torpedoing the auto-squelch and just going to RCR as a system to aggregate and prioritize things for GM review” I would jump for joy. That legitimately would be a better system. It would probably require more resources from them to hire, train, and retain GMs who give a . Which makes it sadly unlikely. I’ll take the system as is, until it really does get abused as badly as the sky-is-falling types think it will.
I’ve said this in a lot of threads, if you think you got falsely reported by someone trying to game the system, take it to the customer support forums, not here.
Not when your conversation is preventing those who are actually trying to use the shop from doing so.
People having a conversation in Trade Chat, as I’m sure you are aware, take up space on the screen. For every line, an actual trade line is not visible. So it’s akin to talking so loud in the shop that no one else can hear over your conversation.
Yes, you and your friends can collude to squelch anyone who has the audacity to use /trade in a manner you do not like, claiming “SPAM”, but the ultimate decision rests in Blizzards hands. If they do not agree and overturn the squelch, I hope you are prepared to face the consequences for filing those false reports.
I guess you never talk to your significant other or your friends when you go to the store. After all, those other customers are there to buy things and you could be disrupting that goal.
