We need a better way to report toxic players

I know you can click a player’s name and report them but the categories are somewhat limited. You can report someone for language. You can report someone’s name. You can report them for cheating or you can report them for spamming. But there’s not one for general toxic behavior for griefing and toxic behavior like ruining a Mythic+ run on purpose.

I think it would be a nice addition to just add a category for harassment or toxic behavior to fix this issue. Also what happened to getting mail informing the player that the report was successful? I got a few after reporting bots on Thunder Isle and never again. Did that just stop too?

Leaving a mythic+ is neither “toxic” nor “harassment”. If they throw a tantrum and swear at you, there’s a category for this. If you invite them back and they do it again, that’s a you problem.

Good idea. That way we can report people who list their keys trying to get a carry while doing horrible DPS.

Who said they were leaving lol? I’m referring to cases where people deliberately join a group to ruin it by purposefully overpulling and wiping the group before leaving

You just did in this response. Block them or make a note of their name/server and don’t invite them back.

I just want a reliable way to report guild spammers. The actual spamming report doesn’t cut it, that just puts the person on ignore until you log out. Then you get the same crap the next day. Frankly, I think it qualifies as harassment/ongoing harassment once you’ve declined them in writing, but continue to spam anyways. Unfortunately, the online reporting for ongoing harassment just tells you to use the in-game function, which obvious does nothing at all and doesn’t really have an appropriate option.

People have been ruining dungeons runs since 2004. I don’t think they’re going to create a new way to report this. Pretty sure this situation falls under “Pugger Beware.”

Choose language and provide a detailed description of their toxic behavior including timestamps. I’ve done it several times and gotten a notice that while they can’t tell me what’s been done if anything they’ve seen my feedback

One of the reasons the community is a cesspit is because you are never punished for doing something wrong. The dungeon thing was just an example not the actual incident lol.

I didn’t say it was the actual incident. I was responding to an example you provided and pointed out that they have been pretty hands off with dungeon interactions since 2004.

I stand by my statement that I doubt they’re going to have a category for “ruined my mythic+”

Yep. You’ll probably get a fair amount of pushback because people as a general statement don’t like being policed. But it’s funny to see developers and employee’s wonder why the community in general is so aggressive towards them when such behavior is accepted in-game. If you don’t hold your community to a high standard they will automatically behave like degens. It’s how gaming is sadly. I’m all for better moderation.

Microsoft don’t play when it comes to tossing bans out. If they tie any current blizzards services to your windows account. Good luck logging into any game or chat service before your ban is up lol.

If Microsoft owning Blizzard means that the report function actually works then all of this will be worth it.

Sound more like Troll who do Ruining it and let Group got killed.

well get ready and read up on this, because if they make wow players use the pc game pass, this will be our future punishment inquiry.

I highly doubt they are adding WoW to the battlepass. It’s not impossible. But WoW is already subscription based and I doubt that is going anywhere anytime soon

wont be a battle pass it will be this:

It’s a year from now, nobody truly knows what is in store for us. A lot can happen in a year.

Based on OP’s responses I bet there’s a reason other players leave their M+ groups enough for them to come on here and demand that not grouping with them should be a bannable offense.

The M+ was an example not an actual incident lmao.

Additionally, I doubt they want this kind of stuff reported.

they’ve given us a tool to handle it - ignore.

otherwise, they’d have to be in the business of policing the subject nature of “toxic”. there are people who cry “Waahhhhh toxic” when someone does something as benign as pulls too fast. or too slow. or the wrong group. or misses a skip. or etc. etc. etc.
