There have been zero confirmations of this outside a couple people on the platform formaly knows as twitter. Could be they lied because they got laid off and are now disgruntled.
Thats what I think at least, since tickets are still being answered and fixed.
I already doubt this. Why didn’t you link the post? The wow subreddits don’t allow any dissenting opinions of wow on there unless those opinions are easily memeable.
But to answer your question, there is a crisis for the physical parts that are needed to power server space. Server space is very expensive these days. Here are some ways blizzard combats this:
Players who play a lot tend to be the best players.
The best players tend to be long time players.
Long time players tend to have higher standards to meet.
Meeting standards is expensive.
Silence players with standards, suspend them, freed up server space.
If players with standards leave the game, hopefully they forget to unsubscribe, but even if they do, they aren’t of enough value compared to whales with low standards who impulse buy pretty pixels.
It’s very well known by now that a lot of the ‘reports’ in WoW are bunk, and there’s no case against that as blizzard literally does not, will not, and seemingly cannot tell you what your infraction was. blizz and it’s shills have literally, objectively, tangibly and quantitatively have no case that the in-game reports aren’t bunk.
“trust me bro, you did a bad” is not a case.
But many of us know, your infraction was you’re not a whale consumer. You just have standards.
I’m not sure, but my theory is this:
You can’t really TELL if someone got banned because it doesn’t happen right away (unless it’s crazy easy to id as bad content). Plus the minute I report someone I can no longer see them in any chat, just as if I’d ignored them.
That part is fishy–it seems designed to make you think your report was approved fast.
Because I am pretty sure linking to third party forums is against the rules, not sure about that. You can go to the r/wow and r/classicwow subs, the one on WoW has 289 upvotes.
The problem is that the GMs seem to be trained to only use templates. They didn’t do any research before telling the player the “ban” was going to be upheld, despite the player not being banned in the first place and actively playing the game at the time the ticket was answered.
Just link the post, it’s not against the rules. Why do you all act so shady in these forums?
I’m happy to have satisfied your other questions though.
Ticket wait times aren’t up, though.
This is incorrect. Even the SFAs on the CS forums have pointed out exactly what people have done wrong.
But if it’s a cheating/botting ban… no, they will not give details, as that brings to light how they tracked it down in the first place, which means then people can get around it.
All of what you said is very much tin foil.
You can literally go find it yourself, I aint lying nor am I acting shady. From the wording of the support article about these Forums, it could be considered advertising. I will not risk my account just to prove something you can find for yourself.
If Blizzard CS isn’t even looking at the ticket, do the wait times really matter?
That’s just not true man.
There are more screenshots out there of blizz saying “upon reviewing the evidence and you did commit a chat infraction” which of course, aren’t allowed to be posted in these forums as to suppress the reality.
Not one person can show a screenshot response to a ticket advising what was said in chat to warrant a silence, mute, or suspension. Not one. This is the norm.
I can blow that tinfoil hat right off your head by simply showing you outside these official forums that have specific rules to protect the clear authoritarianism.
Is there any actual proof other than this redditor’s word?
He had screenshots, but thats it. No other screenshots like of Archived Tickets, just the one he submitted and the response.
So he could have actually been banned and is just posting half truths on reddit to drum up some mayhem?
the wow subreddit is worse than GD, I’m not surprised at all. I’m happy I got perma banned from that place.
I put in a ticket recently and they apologized for it taking so long to get to it. Yeah wait times are up. In the past they’d actually contact me in-game within a few hours. Now it takes days and sometimes up to a week.
It is.
Lots of stuff is debunked consistently by CS and half that stuff is doctored or set up.
No one is allowed to post screenshots here of such things, it’s against CoC. And it’s also incorrect. Go read the CS forums.
I’m not the one wearing it. lol
They always apologize. But no, ticket wait times are not up.
Tickets are not taking a week. Again, the time you see on a ticket is the time of the oldest ticket in the queue, not your wait time. I’ve explained all of this earlier.
This is why people are thinking you’re acting shady. Because you’re finding weird excuses to avoid linking to these posts on reddit.
But in any case, here is the r/wow thread that includes a link to the r/classicwow post and screenshot.
cuz it doesn’t exist.
The /wow subreddits wouldn’t allow it.
Normal people don’t go fishing around reddit. That’s disgusting. You know no normal person like me wants to do that.
2024, where we have all the resources imaginable to source receipts, but of course, because you are in bad faith, you refuse to do that and somehow put the onus on me.
Not today.
You’re a fake. This post is a fake.
Flag as trolling and move on.
Except a poster above you just linked it, dude. This is sad. You people are so conspiratorial that if it doesnt fit your world view, its automatically fake. Thats really sad. Also @Rankin, I am being extra cautious about the rules because I have been actioned here before, and I would very much like to not happen again.
Kinda weird that being cautious about breaking rules is considered ‘shady’.
It is not true. The vast majority are not told what they said to ‘warrant’ a silence, mute, or suspension. Ever. Even on appeal. I can show you countless cases outside these forums where it’s not allowed to expose such a thing.
And since you keep going back to CS forums, I see on there that the CS team has smarmy responses to people who are beating a dead horse about things not related to silences, mutes, behavioural warnings.
That forum is more or less “I thought I got x achievement, what gives, blizz?” Enter, smarmy response from CS.
Not at all to be conflated with what I’m educating you on.
I appreciate that you have never been silenced in the game and commend you, but ignorance to fact is not reality.
edit: if anything, someone posted in this thread of blizzard doing exactly what I have said 3 times in here, the opposite of what you’re thinking is the reality. Can view it a few comments up from mine.
