The who list has been broken for quite a while. If you /who a specific name (or shift click one in chat), it often comes back with 0 results. Also if you /who a guild or level range, class, etc it will return less than a third of the actual players online.
Additionally, there is an issue with the friends list that persists. A player can go offline, but still display as online on the list, or their zone info may stop updating while they are online.
Indeed. Been this way for quite some time now. I can echo both issues, and I’m pretty sure it’s for everyone? I’ve had it mentioned to me by friends as well.
Not sure how this is being overlooked. Hope it is fixed soon.
Is there any news at all as to when this issue will be fixed? I cannot check a toon in chat who asks a question about something to see what level they are to know how to answer their question. It would really help if this could be fixed.
It’s wild that they broke a feature that has existed since day 1 of WoW and haven’t even acknowledged it.
According to EU forums, blue has known and been working on it since September. I would love to get an update on this.
Bumping the topic, because it still doesn’t work. If you’re looking for a guild, it’s impossible to gauge how active they are, making even large guilds look dead at prime hours.
can we please get this fixed? what karste said is the same reason im frustrated trying to find an active guild.
Crazy annoying, please fix.
Please fix this. It’s super annoying when you are trying to decide how active a guild is but due to /who being buggy, it looks like only a few or no members are online even if many are.
I have noticed this and have tried this while LOOKING AT A TOON from the guild I am looking up and they do not show up on the list … funny since I am litterallly looking at them and if I go by the name they do not show either … this is seriously BROKEN and sooo bad now
Several months have past and I’m still experiencing this issue. Is this actually being worked on? Has anyone received confirmation?
I miss having this feature
This is very annoying, no fix and no communication from Blizzard.
I gotta add my voice to all of those above.
I play on Europe, and the /who feature was a super useful tool back in the days, and would still be tremendously useful today. Looking up information on players in channels (location, class, race, etc.) and online guild members in particular has been enormously useful for me in the past - first to find friends or acquaintances on my roleplay server, second to judge the activity level of guilds I might be interested to join, especially since I mostly play in the dead hours of the night, and I really want to know what groups I might join and actually see people.
I understand that the addition of server groups, sharding, war mode, and all the other additions to player interaction are most likely what broke the /who feature, but it’s really weird that there’s no information about how or what exactly broke it, and if there are any ways around it, even if they might work only partially.
This issue still has not been fixed OR addressed. Blizz seems to be having some serious internal issues, along with the fact its been over 8 months and no new content.,
Well they are a small multi dollar company. Also i don’t think they see it as an issue.
