everyone posting about people being banned in classic
people posting SSs of ban notices because of exploiting
blizzard explaining exactly what behavior they would ban for
“We HaVe No EvIdEnCe tHeY nEvEr SpEcIfIcAlY SaId ThEy BaNnEd” -child
Honestly, do you think that this whole thing is 100% made up? Like all these people coming out and posting this stuff you truly believe this is all made up? Honestly how many other conspiracies do you believe in? I need to know
Where are all these people? Of everything you posted there was one Reddit post on the Asmongold vid that could have easily been a troll. If a wave of players was actually banned this forum and the classic wow reddit would be FLOODED with posts about it. There would be tons of YouTube videos about it too.
There is not.
If and when there are actual bans issued out Blizzard will make a formal statement and issue a press release. Just like they have every other time they have issued a wave of bans. Just admit you are wrong and stop trying to rationalize your defeat.
Just to put it in perspective, that summer before TBC came out I had the luxury of playing as much as I wanted and tried for warlord on our server. I was playing 16 hours a day of PVP ONLY, I had 175,000 killing blows in those 3 months, not kills but just killing blows I don’t remember what the kill total was I don’t think it kept track of it, but with all of that there was no way to move up signifigantly against the horde of afk honor bots and shared account users on my server.
They held that Warlord spot right up until the pre TBC honor system change which wiped out the ranking altogether, was a bit soul crushing.
Not looking forward to this super flawed system to come back into place, anyone with the title will basically have to be unemployed if its anything like it was back in vanilla.
Hmmmmmm…
So you do believe that its just doctored up.
Go through that reddit thread and there is SSs all over the place with people posting bans. Like I said I am NOT doing your homework for you, especially if you are a conspiracy theorist. I have had people on my server in our top guild get banned and not logged in since these bans. I guess they are just playing the long con too for this prank even though they were in the world 4th ony/MC.
If you want to take the tin foil hat theory, that’s cool man. But don’t just sit there with a thread with over 1k comments of evidence and just say “YOU DIDN’T LINK ANY PROOF”. I’m not digging through something I already read just to spoon feed information to someone as lazy as you.
As others have implied you can only rank up so much each week so even if you’re the only one you will be the top ranked each week but still take a good while to get there.
Im a little confused what that means. You just posted a link to the EU Blizzard forums, but no specific thread.
Rank 14 Makes me think of the South Park WoW episode. 100% based on classic WoW. Spot on.
In all seriousness, the Alliance to Horde ratio on Stalagg is concerning and I’m hoping that Blizzard is looking at solutions.
In a few days this char will be my 6th level 60 in vanilla WoW. This is it. I will not be leveling another char nor rerolling. I assume that’s the same for many people.
Delaying crossrealm bgs until Naxx phase would be a good incentive to play Alliance on a server like Stalagg.
Or offering transfers to and from an established high Alliance pop realm.
Or limited availability paid character transfers.
Didnt happen to be on Black DragonFlight server did it?
We used to farm a million+ honor a week, created a few HWL (i only hit r11) by calculating who would benefit most from honor and running premade wsg/ab non stop.
The issue was honor decay not dropping fast enough to allow others to progress quicker. Also add the fact the HWL gear was so powerful in pvp, you serioulsy gimped total group power by not playing with those players.
The solution was to have them pvp with you, and thern have them farm dk’s to de-rank.
Then you had the battle ground afk bots, soaking up massive amounts of honor, making it even harder for others to break into the higher pvp ranks.
It’s being a pain and redirecting to the new forums instead of the 2013 forums, where Vanilla HWL/GM players were complaining about the rereleased rank system, because of the sheer amount of grinding they had to do to get their titles.
Essentially, every rank 14 player was either running their account constantly for days at a time or botting/account sharing to hit R14. It was a terrible time and I was wondering how 36 players from the same guild got to that rank, when my high pop server (Kel’thuzad) only had a total of 59 R14s across the entire server…
You aren’t confusing the pre 2.01 ranks with the much easier to get Cata ones are you?
No sir! Here’s a screenshot of my guild after a Nef/Ony kill. If you squint, you can make out a good number of R13 armors and R14 weapons.

Apologies for the potato quality, it was taken on an ancient Gateway PC circa 2005.
Edit: As stated previously, the reason we were able to churn out so many HWLs, was because we had established a system that we conformed to, while simultaneously winning BGs so quickly, that no one outside our pre-mades could hope to compete in weekly Honor. This made things much less stressful, as we weren’t fighting with anyone to claw our way to the top, and knew exactly what rank to expect week after week.
For reference, here’s a screenie of my HWL week:

I’d gotten 700,000 honor the previous week, and it wasn’t even that particularly stressful. Mostly 5 minute ABs, and 7 minute WSGs. I stayed mostly out of AV because it was rather difficult to influence an entire match with so many unknown variables.
Fair enough. I only got to Sergeant myself. Which I believe consisted of some pre raid PvP and a single (verrry long) AV.
KT was just warfare everywhere. Fight to get into a raid. Find creative ways to wipe same faction guilds on world bosses so we could have a go. Rank grinders all raising tickets against each other to get the ither suspended or banned. No real cooperation.
heh I remember when they added your server to our Battlegroup, I was on Altar of storms at the time and our server was about a year younger than yours and full pvp, but when Kel’thuzad was added we were fighting fully decked out raid gear people in AV in our greens and blues, it was scary to run into a premade from that server.
Carebears can be scary when they have nuclear weapons and your running around with stuff from the bronze age.
700k honor with that small amount of kills?
Someone was farming mark turnins.
Carebears?
KT was a launch PvP server…
The best PvP guilds on the server were also the best PvE guilds. M I N I S T R Y went on to form EXODUS.
hmm was it? maybe it was just the year difference in server age, my bad I thought for sure it was pve, maybe it was one of the others in the group, its been awhile.
Well, it was a while ago now.
I sure was! When you can win an AB in 5 minutes, and a WSG in 7, it is far and away the fastest method of accruing massive amounts of Honor.
I would posit that that’s a far more engaging way to play, then sitting in AV 24/7.
I was once in an AV match that ran for 5 hours until I went to bed. It was still going when I got up.
