"Your reputation matters!"

[Felshout-mannoroth (Felshout)]

humor me for a minute and tell me why it matters so much outside of raiding. personally i believe we are going to have higher realm capacities and 5 man groups are going to take what they can get

[Amileiah-wyrmrest-accord]

It used it. It really did.

It doesn’t anymore. Nobody cares.
Too many ways to evade/startover etc.

[Thanen-the-scryers (Thanen)]

happened all the time in classic just dont invite rogues to raids and that will solve most ninja looting problems…lol.

[Ellilaine-gilneas (Ellilaine)]

If I see anyone naming and shaming anyone in-game or on the forums I will most definitely report them via both right-click reporting, submitting tickets with screenshots and flagging their forum posts.

Naming and shaming is a non-starter.

Even if it removes some of those obstacles (aka other players) from your path?

From what I’ve seen, though, you’ll likely be one of those on the server list…

More harassment to flag as trolling. Not a surprise your two harassing cohorts that stalk me are the ones that liked your post.

Also, I was never on a server list (except as a great healer) any of my time in WoW, as when I’m in groups, I’m polite to the people in them, as I should be. Plus, the people in my groups aren’t usually harassing forum-stalkers.

[Narya-kirin-tor (Narya)]

Stalk you? Really? I’m pretty sure I’ve never addressed you directly before in my life.

Legit question: Are you Whiskee’s alt or Saqe’s?

[Fallanaa-area-52 (Fallanaa)]

Nope. Never met him/her before, either in-game or out. I certainly also don’t agree with everything they post, either.

To be honest your trolling and then acting the victim is spot on if you were looking to do an impression of them.

Blizzard has already gone from “NONE of the CRZ’s or sharding will be used in Classic” to “considering” using sharding. What does that say about Blizzard’s willingness to go back on their word?

they never said this.

[Aryxymaraki-earthen-ring (Aryxymaraki)]

of course you will, because that’s the kind of person you are. You’ll quickly develop a reputation on Classic servers as someone to not play with specifically for that reason.

The beautiful thing about it is that no one will know who reported them. So, I can’t gain a reputation for that. And I won’t name my character Fallanaa, so how will you know?

Heh. So naive.

Look up the Scorpion and the Frog.

That is how people will know. It is your nature.

The problem is on a healthy server people are so anonymous you don’t know what they are until it’s too late.

This is simply not a true statement in any particular.

[Minotron-khazgoroth (Minotron)]

Bit of a sad move…it’s not as though people will be giving out home addresses and telephone numbers.

That being said, I remember seeing those ninja posts in IF general reasonably frequently and never took much notice.
If someone was poorly behaved in any of my groups or any of my guildies groups though, they’d be blacklisted permanently. I would imagine most players/guilds would be pretty similar on that front so if you play like a knobhead, your pool of potential groups will get smaller and smaller.

To be honest, I never had much trouble personally. There are pretty clear indicators when you’re looking for a group; stupid name? No invite. Type/spell like you’re using an early 2000’s Nokia? No invite. Aggressively tell me I’m missing out because you’re the best thing that will ever happen to my group? No invite. Insist you get a certain bit of loot? No invite.
Players that ninja loot or are just horrible people to play with are usually filtered out by the above criteria.

Well except it is, did server reputation stop you from pugging with dbags?

[Ristra-suramar (Ristra)]

This thread…

“Blizzard shouldn’t get involved with name shaming, power to the player!”

Also…

“Don’t add right click report it will be abused!”

Make up your minds people.

Look friend, there is no need to go about insulting scorpions.

Even IF (and that is a huge IF, given Blizzard’s history of saying one thing and doing the exact opposite) sharding is restricted to the starting zones, it will still divide the community in those zones.

Blizzard has already gone from “NONE of the CRZ’s or sharding will be used in Classic” to “considering” using sharding. What does that say about Blizzard’s willingness to go back on their word?

When did Blizzard say they would never use sharding in Classic? I think you are making that up but am willing to be proven wrong.

Remember when Classic was first announced over a year ago, they specifically said they did not want to recreate the “launch experience”.

The article has been linked numerous times. For those unwilling to put forth even the modicum of effort required to do a simple google search, here it is again:

https ://www.pcgamer.com/this-is-how-blizzard-plans-to-finally-bring-back-vanilla-wow-servers/

That article includes this quote from J. Allen Brack:

“One of the tenets of Classic WoW is none of the cross-server realms and different [server] sharding options that we have available to us today. There’s a lot of desire on part of the community that this is something that they don’t want.”
