A thought regarding the ERP issue

I think you also need a violin to get the most out of that course

As long as they’re humane about analysing them. Analayse enough and you’ll find questionable and unwelcome potential about everything.

That would require either Blizz putting more resources on it, which they haven’t done this far. Or it might require the community to take action, go as undercover teenagers into GS and report everyone who gets too pushy about wanting to ERP with them? But that also would require Blizz looking into these cases with willingness to apply banhammer if necessary.

Instead if someone chooses to ERP and call it character development, I’ll analyse as mockingly as I want.

ERP=/= character development lol

So it is doable indeed, they just need to stop thinking about making Money.

We already are thou, so it’s up to blizz to stop thinking about number and enforce their rules.

Please share a picture the next time you make them! I was supposed to go out for really good burgers tomorrow, but circumstances did not let me.

If they stopped thinking about money, they would no longer profit from developing their games at all. But sure, putting profit above morals and rules, reprehensible yet easy to do. But if Blizz refuses to act, it’s up to the community to “fix” what’s wrong about the RP on this server. How many are willing to do what Blizz doesn’t dare to? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Stay on topic. ok?

Quite a lot, as it turns out!
There is the obstacle of people who say ‘well do something’ and then immediately go ‘oh it’s fine, leave them alone’ as soon as we do start discussion, though… :thinking:

Also this, please. Threads like this can provide good discussion and be useful to read; if all you have to add is unrelated small talk, perhaps take it to one of the many other threads where that’s where it’s encouraged.

The community can’t mute or ban, only the mods can, what is your point with this again?

Edit: If I could, they who must not be named would have been booted out of the server, and maybe even game already.

According to the mass vacations for so called mass flagging and reporting , and the overall community opinion on these practises, not so few as you might be thinking.

These people get on my nerves.

Here i am, just trying to RP my female character, get talking with somebody and then;

“do you want to go for a walk?”

No. Thank. You.

And then there’s the explicit whispers out of the blue.

To use machine learning and algorithms can be more difficult then you’d think and it might have varying degrees of success. Truth is, Blizzard needs more GMs that give a damn looking into this sort of things. Now, there are a lot of reasons as to why they don’t, some bordering tinfoil hat theory levels. Thing is, Blizzard moderation or not, we are responsible as a community to take action against such behaviours and call for more action from Blizzard too.

If you’re referring to my attitude, I just find it easier way to “cope” to focus on finding RP with more substance than trying to campaign against ERP, in other words, doing what I’m originally playing this game for. Doesn’t mean I can’t express an opinion about it and yes, people can analyse my opinion but practically nothing will change unless people start acting on what they want to happen.

Doesn’t prevent you from reporting those you see ERPing. Or going to them directly telling they shouldn’t. Might not fix the issue itself but it’s a small step towards it until Blizz starts caring.

I’m apparently behind on the lingo here, what is a jade witch? (except from the acutal jade witch in jade forest?)

Honestly, a automated chat scanner would be cheaper for Blizz in the long run, what with all the modern computer learning stuff to improve accuracy as time goes on. Just have the flags manually checked and verified until the system learns. If everything is going to be automated, might as well employ it here as well.

A Savile, if you get my drift.

Well buddy… I already do that.
