OK, so its not such that its ānaming and shamingā but that the outcome of it could be harassment in the game.
Either way OP, your best bet is never to hand over gold for valuable items. I presume Classic has the CoD system with mail? That would seem the safest bet if so. If not, just sell things on the AH and leave it at that.
Botom line its against the rules and this shouldnt have lasted this long the OP already got his answer and either edited his post themselves or a mod did it.
I asked a genuine question because I wanted it clarified for my own purposes. Its not an unreasonable thing to do on a forum, in fact its what these forums are for.
Itās more of a help desk where players can help other players understand policies, and seek help with the ticket systems. Itās not staffed by GMs, and is not a bypass to the normal ticket and reporting systems in game.
I was looking for a similar post just to show that the Blues do consider it harassment, but man are these forums difficult to search at times!!
First one I found was from 2019 too! Yet Iām 100% certain that thereās been similar replies this year. Anyway, not that Iām helping much here, just a side rant about the search feature!
In general, threads that would usually mention the game director for WoW or other Developer are about feedback/suggestions for the game and we want to make sure it focuses on the feedback and not any particular personās role or perceived role in the development of the subject.
A lot of those threads tend to be insulting or call for someoneās removal, which we do not allow.
For players, we try to maintain that call outs of any kind are prohibited. Even if you have proof of someoneās guilt, this is not the appropriate arena for such accusations.
Iād argue that who answers the question wasnāt the focus of the question. A GM nor a blue seems to have been asked for. So asking the question seems fitting given the direction this thread turned about ācall outsā.
So Iām not ignoring the original purpose of the threadā¦ Zulvok, the link Darthwraith provided originally is the best advice we can give. Please report a possible scam so that we can look into it.
Thanks for that. You often see people saying āthis is a ruleā or āyou cant do thatā and finding a precise official definition can be difficult, especially if you want to avoid doing wrong or dont know exactly what to ask. I appreciate your input.
I always felt it came down the idea that Blizzard wouldnāt allow unpublished accusations because soon, the innocent would be accused as well as those that are guilty.
Someone who lost a loot roll, didnāt like the wave you did pvp, could make any false accusation about you.
Once an accusation is made, a certain number of people will always believe it even if it is found to be false and corrected later.
Being required to report an accusation to only Blizzard, who are the only people able to verify and penalize an offense, protects you from liars.
Alsoā¦ Why are you defending someone who scams in the first place, like saying, that itās ok in any sense, no matter what the situation is, or who posts it and where itās postedā¦?
I donāt see where Darthwraith was defending a possible scammer.
This, however, is exactly why name and shame posts are not allowed. I could start a thread saying that you scammed me and make up a huge story to go with it too. None of it would be true, but what if people believed me?
You think the scammer in the OP is automatically guilty when we really have no way as players to know the truth either way.
That post in no way is defending an alleged scammer. Nobody here knows the full story and while I take the OP at his word Iām always a little skeptical about these type of threads.
Perl stole my entire set of mythic soulforged dreadplate, GMās pls respond.
In all seriousness however, no name and shame has been around almost as long as these forums, it used to be such a hate filled mud slinging match on these forums that fairly hard lines had to be drawn in the sand.
Iāve been playing since MC and been banned from these forums for more time than Iāve been active on them, my post count is not even close to realistic
These forums are not Australian language friendly, but someone done changed it.
Still doesnt matter we know what u meant and fowl language isnt allowed even if its howard the duck keep it clean no * no being creative other wise u could face a perma ban eventualy.
