I enjoy the gameplay and feel of wow. It is the reason why I don’t do group content. I also made friends and have my little group sure, but I am a social person and a mmo is half game and half social in that aspect. Wanting the social part to be fixed, so the overall game is better is something we all should want.
We should be able to left click on any offending text and send in a report. How hard would it be to have one staff member check these reports and look at the text and see if action is required? All they would have to do is click yes/no in answer to “is this text offensive?” The punishment could be decided automatically based on previous infractions.
How many staff would blizz have to hire to do this? A handful at most. If I was hired to do this I could do a few hundred per hour and prolly more if the reports scrolled fast enough and I was not on a PC running windows 95.
In my case? Whispers most of the time. My friend the screen shots she showed me was whispers as well.
Hers was during BFA. She quit the game because of how it made her feel. At the same time, I’ve had a few jerks in my whispers, but the worse time was during MOP for me, when I learn reporting did very little. So I just ignore chat now.
Watching her go through that last expansion though made me understand that things did not get better.
Most recent posts in the CS forum disputing account suspensions seem to indicate that silences and mutes are no longer the case for most offenders, so progress is already being made on this front.
If you are currently experiencing this, make sure to use the in game /ignore system each and every time, and then open up tickets under the ongoing harassment category.
I know from your end you see very little progress, but I have seen reports where players are getting more then silenced for misbegotten behavior.
Maybe it’s time to move servers if you say you’re having issues. Try a low pop one. I’m on low pop and I never have issues. Then again the only chat I get into is when I’m smack talking alliance who come into org killing lowbies and so I have to kill them lol
Yes you can, but comes a fine line with what type of ways it is done, and if it is OOC or not, as if it was RP whispering long distance, and or just talking in a ooc way showed it was not rp.
Exactly. We don’t need new rules and contracts. We need enforcement of the existing ones, the new ones really just come across as slightly sinister to be honest. IF it’s just the same existing rules, why do we need to agree to it when we already agreed to the existing ones and already cannot play unless we already have agreed to them?
