Ok, lets say you’re now 3 guidlies/friends in a 40 man BG. Lets say 15 members of a troll guild managed to queue at the same time and have 10 more they want in. How hard would it be for them to mass report you, have you removed from the BG, and repeat the process trying to get their friends in?
Before you answer this exact same thing happened in Classic WOW. Blizzard had to change the AV queue system to break it.
In other words, you can’t counter actual evidence.
Typical.
What’s that old saying? It is better that 10 guilty people escape, than that 1 innocent suffer.
Your personal anecdote doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. People get cancelled, banned, and delisted for a wide variety of things. What matters is worth asking is what kind of content are you “heavily disagreeing with”. How many times can you attest to being reported and having said actions take through or reversed?
This action can take drastically terrible turns. Playing on a roleplay realm; I’ve sure seen the kinds of people here who will happily abuse this mechanic. There’s already people who got others silenced through mass guild reports.
People still talk in game? Though tbh id like to use it on the ragnaros preist that said something along the lines not tyranny in Portuguese in NW ran to exit and just left the 13 mythic key…right after first boss died. Was so confused and no reason to it.
Definitely keeping their servers reputation as horrible as always.
yes. another thing that sucks is being trapped in what should have been a 30-minute dungeon run for an hour or more because nobody bothered to learn basic mechanics in a dungeon that’s been out for 8 months
^that 100%
Nobody should be held hostage because of a fail group.
I am not getting in disc with randoms. There is like a 90% chance if the Raid group asks for it in a Pug I will just leave because its usually never helpful and always awkward.
Ok.
People already do this as well. People will just drop groups without saying a word if they don’t like the way its going. This won’t change that and thats fine in context of this discussion.
Yes, you skirt the silence in game by playing with guildies/friends. Being unable to chat in game is not a hinderance for people with guilds/friends. Even if you can still skirt the punishment from a silence, disabling a players option to use the Blizzard tools is a far greater hinderance than having to speak to your team mates.
These points are things already faulty with the current punishment structure or are things that most PUG players did/didn’t do anyway. If the change goes through, even if you skirt the punishment it will still be a big inconvenience in several ways, including not being able to queue LFD for your callings, unable to PUG keys on your own unable to queue for World Boss WQ. These changes are even further problematic for an alt of this player, making the punishment more impactful.
Knowing it will 100% happen at least one doesnt tell us how many times it happens in groups. Does a group false report a player every 1/10?1/100?1/1000?1/100,000?
You seem more upset at DPS players and think all DPS players are out to report the tank. Bad/Scum Players do this, not specifically DPS. 99.9% of people arent going to report you for a bad dungeon unless you are actively flaming them during it.
Show the proof that this was already a significant problem. If it wasnt already an issue with a couple thousand false report cases before it is extremely likely it won’t be an issue when this additional punishment goes through.
so… why ask me to waste my time doing your research for you?
because no matter what i show you, it’s “not the right thing” or there are “reasons” why the posts are unacceptable to whatever special new set of rules you continue to apply with each new response.
the goalposts keep moving.
blizzard do not call a squelch a silence.
a squelch and a silence are different things.
they have different consequences.
they’re capable of understanding how their own systems work, and using correct terminology.
i love how a mod edits your post and adds a line to tell you you’re wrong, yet you still choose to continue with your conspiracy theories.
To be fair to Akadruid, the forum mod edit came well after the last post they made.
lol that’s golden
Again, to be fair to Akadruid, the forum mod edit came hours after the last post they made in this thread. To insinuate that they made that post, a forum mod edited it, and then they continued in the conversation in this thread is not accurate.
The post in question had quoted me, so I received a forum notification when the moderator edited it. That was maybe just over an hour ago, and the original post was something like 6 hours before that.
they would have got a notification that their post was edited
Maybe that’s because you’ve yet to provide what you claimed existed. Someone complaining on the CS forum that THEY were punished for false flagging.
That’s ok I’m sure you’ll eventually figure it out. I have faith in you.
That’s awesome!
the search function should work for you.
i have faith that you can figure out how to use it.
I’m sure they did, and it would have been 6 hours after the last post they made in this thread.
I’m just saying, going after them for “doubling down after a mod corrected you” doesn’t make sense. The mod edit came hours later, and akadruid has not posted since the moderator edit.
their last post in this thread says 7 hours ago. The edit was maybe just over an hour ago at this point.
i have no idea about timing, it all went down while i was asleep.
i wasn’t “going after them”, i only mentioned it because i thought it was funny 
You make a claim, you prove it. Besides how am I supposed to prove a negative? Link every post that’s ever been on the CS forum?
Ok, but what you “think was funny” is a mischaracterization about what actually happened.
Their last post in this thread was 6 hours before a mod came around and edited anything. Akadruid didn’t “choose to continue with their conspiracy theories” after receiving a mod edit.
