RIP Willybrown and other shadow alts

Looks like you’ll have to level them up to 10 to post. I personally don’t agree with the posting restriction no matter how much I disagree with people. Its a silly change.

I am pretty eager to see willy’s actual toons though

As if he’ll post on a toon he actually uses. It will be a bank mule, abandoned alt, or he’ll just level to 10.

Once the character is level 10 it can be searched on the armory and subsequently mains & alts will be searchable.

I’m sure people will find a way around it eventually.

What about Forums? Will he level? Will he come out of the shadows? :thinking:

What is the posting restriction?

Why are people concerned about shadow alts?

What is wrong with a level 10 or 99 or [fill in the blank] posting?

Why the apparent glee and excitement?

Please 'splain to someone who doesn’t care what avatar anyone posts on. :slight_smile:

He should just dust off Shieldsup. Last thing we need is more panda toons showing up around here.

I never understood the reasoning behind shadow posts in the first place so hopefully the ones who everyone already knows will just level up their shadow so they keep a name that is familiar. Gunna throw me off having to re remember names.

What reasoning does there need to be beyond “I like posting on my ___ level toon”?

Some did it to hide who they are and the whole

Is just a very strange concept to me I guess.

Blizzard set the rules so I’m guessing they must be disruptive enough to warrant this change. Why not just post on a character they actually play? Never understood the big secret.

With the post counts resetting (weirdly) we may never know who those shadows were if they don’t acknowledge the accounts.

I wonder if that alt detecting addon for FF will work again.

Easy solution now would be rolling a allied race since they start off at 20

Is post count per character or account wide? Some of the shadow alts show a post count now.

It was account wide. That’s how we knew Forums was shields for example. If he had used a different account then I don’t think it would have shown. No idea how it will all work now.
