So, recently. I had some choice words for one of my group members in Classic WoW BRD runs - when the next day, I woke up to a 2 Month silence put on my account. What I said to this very nice individual was bannable, or whatever - but the idea of completely restricting someone from using their chat in a game where communication is required to progress is pretty insane. I’ve been sitting at 55 now for 3 days, because my want to play has decreased due to this INSANE restriction. I personally believe the restrictions for Classic WoW should have some parts of this lifted, allowing anyone who does get silenced to play the game instead of wasting their sub.

Can’t argue with this logic.

Good Lord, how can you get a 2 MONTH ban??? If I were you after the ban I would keep my typing to my self…

You could try appealing the ban.
Posting in the CS forums might get you better luck than here.

already tried that, was told I just have to deal with the consequences. I find blizzard responds better to complaining rather than asking them nicely
That’s a fairly substantial ban, was it your first? I guess they figured the punishment was warranted. You can still play - you can quest, farm gold and mats, even do pvp - you just can’t do what got you the ban (ie communicate with others).
It’s harsh, but it would certainly teach me to be more circumspect with how I interact with others.
Sort of a pity it doesn’t work on the internet generally - there are some people who could do with it…

That would be the OP’s 7th silence. You’d probably have just been permabanned instead, if they didn’t have the Silence system.

There’s definitely a lot more here to this story than the OP is revealing. I have never heard of a two month chat ban ever before in WoW. Generally if someone harasses another player they get an account ban, at least as far as I recall. Also, admitting you said stuff that was bannable but coming to the forums for sympathy? Yeah, ok. What really happened, op? I’m curious.

I’ve been silenced before, a decent amount. None of it on Classic. All of my silences have been from playing on an RP Realm through Legion. Doing anything can warrant a silence there.
Change your behavior or post on the CS forum so the CM’s can make an example of you for our entertainment.

Well your best option is using discord with your guild and grouping with at least 1 of them to find groups. But boy I’d be curious to know what type of rant warrants a 2 month silence.
You can still play the game, you just can’t inflict yourself on random strangers.

People need to learn to not take you so Ziryusly.
Thanks for admitting you are a repeat offender.
Sounds like you got what you deserved, and should be thankful you still have an active account.
