The only thing I can find is this update from Blizzard in their official announcement for Legion stuff.
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/20177161]I have been going through the TBC patch notes, and I don’t see anything to do with click to report.

I have more links as proof, but this is enough.
oh man i already miss classic.
Patch 2.1.0: You are now able to right click a player name to report them to GMs.
Doesn’t sound 100% to be auto-mute. Sounds like a change from Vanilla. #notmyclassic
also is europe, where you can be thrown in jail for saying things like, i dont believe in religion x.
I love Fesz. He fights for justice!
Ah, ok cool, thanks for the link.
Perhaps the threshold was a lot higher in TBC and perhaps even as late as Wrath.
Either way, TBC was also a different game than Vanilla, being that sure it was group based, but the leveling process was noticeably easier.
Also dual spec existed in TBC making the the system far less toxic than they would have been in Classic WoW. Also TBC really did not have a whole lot in the terms of World content, at least none that counted for much excluding the dailies. Especially after they nerfed consumables in TBC, that kinda killed off a lot of the farming outside of farming for elemental stuff…
No real world bosses, and honestly the whole guild based group / zone dominance thing almost did not exist in TBC like it did in Vanilla because the game was just so much different.
IMO keep the auto ignore feature from the click to report, and then if X number of reports are made say… 50?? Then that person is given the booter… I don’t think its possible to avoid the DDOS component of the system because of how server rights work.
did they have the same rules for us servers? cause that link he posted is for europe wow
Kazzak and Doomwalker had incredibly powerful loot when they were released.
Unfortunately they did not have the same kind of loot persistence that Vanilla world bosses did.
Gear was obsolete by the middle of the next tier. That’s something that Classic Vanilla had going for it, the loot was a lot more valuable even late in game. Unfortunately that Blizzard changed this because it made the game feel bigger regarding your character.
That is kind of sad and lame. Could you please make public the name of your guild so it and your server can be avoided? I mean if you willingly remain in such a guild, what does that say about you? For goodness sake man, have some integrity.
My thread yesterday on finding other ways to possibly fund Classic for the long term was removed cause some people reported it as trolling.
On the forums I’m not allowed to make the point: that times change, and even if the devs currently have the best intention of making Classic as enjoyable as Vanilla, the environment at Blizzard might change over the years, just as employees change jobs. And that that change could result in damaging changes/additions to Classic.
I’m not allowed to discuss this because there are posters so short sighted that they can’t recognize this is a potential issue.
I’m not allowed to discuss that most private servers SOLD items. They couldn’t resist the urge to make extra money. And how it’s reasonable to think people at Blizzard will eventually find their way to making similar decisions in Classic. Thus ruining it.
I’m frustrated that Blizzard lets an automated report system and a poor review system to censor valid discussions. The trolls were the ones who posted in my thread that I was as troll or those who didn’t argue the logic and facts of the discussion. They just reacted emotionally, and used no wisdom in constructing their viewpoint on the issues of the thread.
World Of Warcraft changed over the years to alienate millions of players. I can’t see how Classic won’t do the same if the community can’t respect each other enough to not demand a proper community moderation system and not just some automated one.
The game might not be worth caring about because the community isn’t worth it anymore.
Lmao he’s been fighting against the feature since it became a topic and he’s still guilty by association. Lul this community is doomed
Like it or not but people can and will judge you by the company you keep.
Imagine the scenario. Go online to play a game. Green text in your chat box has a convo about abusing a system in a game that doesn’t even exist yet. Think, wow that feature is going to suck if it’s abused to prevent people from getting help with scarabs or organizing wpvp… I will go to the forums and try to help people understand why it will be abused and how easy it will be to exploit.
“Wow man have some integrity, you’re WILLINGLY apart of a guild like that? Think about what that says about YOU. For goodness sake…”
Are you his effing father? He could have just been spam invited. Maybe he doesn’t care about retail anymore. Maybe he has no intention of moving with his guild to classic lmao. Maybe it’s just his alt in a guild that he never does content with. He’s playing a VIDEO GAME not running for president. Maybe it was 3-4 members in a full guild even talking about it. Why should he leave? There’s plenty of people here that admitted they will report Chuck Norris jokes as harassment and disruption. That a message in trade that doesn’t start with WTB or WTS will be happily reported for disruption even though Blues have confirmed that’s not the case. The feature will be abused even by people that believe they are doing justice and not abusing it.
But you know, take one of the few guys here that realize that and discredit all that because of something he saw in chat on a version of the game that’s irrelevant to most of us here.
Translation:
Some people will not accept anything that does not permit them to conspire to squelch anyone that has the audacity to use /trade in a manner they do not like, even though doing so is NOT a violation according to Blizzard.
Fact: At $15/month, 250k new paying subscribers will generate $45,000,000 in additional annual revenue. I suspect that will be more than enough for server maintenance and upkeep. It’s not keeping it running that’s the concern. It’s can the higher ups resist the urge to monetize it and drive people away.

That was not reported by the character you are accusing of having done so.
