That’s true some states/areas have that and if you watch some of the auditing community videos there’s so many examples of misuse based on ego and because of the “interaction” versus the reality.
I guess to relate it here, you better hope that whomever reads the flagging or report is having an absolute great day or just got some presents haha.
Mass report bans shouldn’t exist. If someone is getting that many reports, it should flag an actual employee to look into it. Not just wildly assume and ban people in a game that people pay money to play.
WoW isn’t free to play, their report system shouldn’t act like it is. 24 hour bans and taking 24 hours to respond is a terrible system and it shouldn’t even need to be said.
I know of a few people now that are getting silenced when saying anything in solo shuffle. All their silences have been involved with solo shuffle. I wonder if the system is setup to eat a ban much easier in shuffle to prep for rated shuffle where it will likely get extremely toxic at times. Whenever any soloq thread would pop up in the past (before solo shuffle) how toxic it would be was almost always brought up somewhere in it.
Even being afk in bgs has a variable system in place. Being afk in a gy for like 30-45 seconds after rezzing auto kicks you, but you can afk at a node for up to 5 min and not get kicked.
In shuffle, if you say something there are only 2 others that can see it so mass reporting someone for saying something isn’t an option because max 2 people can report you for a single offense. How many people does it take to trigger the automation system outside shuffle like trade chat?
Pretty stupid that blizzard can harass women til they commit suicide but I can’t ask someone with 30k hp in solo shuffle to not queue until they’ve at least hit the gear threshold for the ilvl boost to be active
It’s the sheer laziness of using automated systems to impose restrictions. Players absolutely need access to real customer service staff when these sorts of things occur. Mass reporting should trigger customer service alerts that are then viewed and handled by living, breathing human beings.
But no, it’s Blizzard, so they’ll provide the minimum they possibly can for our money.
