Can we get GMs back?

So kinda sick of trolls, the kind that if we still had GMs would be able to come to your location, see what is happening and remove the griefers. Can’t get quests done as a group (not even from my own server) follow me around and kill any mob I go for before I can get to it, kinda annoying to have this happen over and over

Would be nice. But no don’t count on it. Sadly it seems to me WoW is on life support. Blizzard is pumping as much money out of it (us) as possible before closing time. That means they won’t ever add people to the list of paychecks

Hey Aeltera,

Sorry to hear that some players are harassing you in-game, this is very much against our policies if you they continually kill low level NPCs or mobs with the sole purpose of preventing other players from playing on non-PvP realms.

You can report these players in-game, and our game masters will be able to verify the report once they receive it.

Please note that game masters aren’t always able to respond to tickets as things happen in real time, be it nowadays, or “back in the days”. This is true for insults on chat channels, harassment or grieving, and mainly depends on a number of factors (such as time of day, if we recently released a game or extension for a Blizzard game, which means that GMs would be busy with other players, etc.).

Thank you for your patience, I hope that this can be addressed soon. :pray:

Oh I reported them in game just like I reported the ones who every day are running around harrassing players calling them things such as maggot (with an F) and telling them to Uninstall from life (not in those words), the list is long, yet the irony is I just got a behaviour report for calling them pieces of canine rectal extrusion as well I consider people acting like that and harassing people pieces of canine rectal extrusion, this is what’s a joke about blizz you claim to care but you don’t the cancerous parts of the ‘community’ are left to run rampant and abuse the report system all while spouting vile ‘opinions’ just yesterday there was an hour long tirade in the trade chat from multiple people about the LGBT community, I guess now June is done you let that kinda stuff go with June being the month your rainbows come out (bar in certain regions) and you try your best to milk that part of the community. These people have been reported over and over and yet here they are every day and always the same vile crap spewed from them and you Blizz you are the people allowing and enabling them, meanwhile when people get fed up of the abuse and repeated tirades and tell them to do one we get warnings from the trolls mass reporting. Well if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck throws out hatred and vile rhetoric like a duck, I’ll keep calling it a duck :dracthyr_tea:

I’ve found Blizzard are lax in dealing with reports like this.

Having reported many people for this kind of stuff in the past I’ve stopped doing it as I see no result from it.

Not even a “We have looked at the report and dealt with the player involved” that you should get. Personally I think they ignore reports from single players. They say they don’t but I go by what I see not what they give lip service too, Like the “social agreement” people agree to is not upheld.

There is a player on these very forums with a name similar to what you are reporting players for saying and even now after 2 years, the name hasn’t been altered.

Edit: If you ask me there should be an automatic system that bans people for the words they use in chat, elongated for each bad word they use. Only then will they learn not to use them. Just because there is a filter to not show them is not an excuse to use them.

its pretty sad really, esp as people like to gang on one someone is flaming
and nobody ever stands to defend them :­( not like we can do much, as the hater can leave and destroy the group… which has happened sooo many times when i did…

but hey, if one tells you have scammed them on trade, esp before the last spark (the only one you can sell non-lariat and weapon items), you will be banned and welllll not craft anything :d
despite being the nice kid and known on the realm for years…

 
people are only afraid of real-time action gms like,
several 20-minute gangs (yes, really) on beta before i warned this ends, or the chat goes to blizzard and their beta keys get removed - this was super effective!
a truly terrible discrimination on zereth mortis’ /1, people actually thought im a gm lol and (finally) stopped
newbies acting mean on their channel, not changing to /i (guide icon ftw xd)
etc

there have been soooo many times i wish i could be a mod and deal with these people
yet maybe its better not to, cuz that means giving other ppl the power to judge, too. and that can’t end well. xd

If this is the case, I would encourage you to open a ticket and provide as much information as you can, such as the name and server of these players, as well as the time and date at which these events happened.

You will find a couple of categories when creating a ticket that would be most appropriate.

As funny as this insult is, you can see that the report system is working as intended.

I have no idea who you’re referring to, however please do report inappropriate names on the forums using the option “Author has an inappropriate name”.

Defaming another player on a public channel in-game is against our code of conduct, and can earn you a suspension.

I did, more than once, I won’t say it here but it was very rude but I don’t think they are playing anymore. Anyway, I reported one a few minutes ago in the Classic section , we will see what happens with that one.

Perfect, thank you. :slight_smile:

it can, but will it? and… do i care? :­)
this is the third time i got banned cuz of mass-rep abuse, first two in the era of sharing pics on trade (and most people were really happy to see old arthas the exodar scholomance etc xd)

 
or any of the people who told me to suicide because i took z’rali in the sanguine depths?
or any of the people on this forum (including you, the mods) who punished me for the opinion the k word won’t make you suicide but the regular hate and belittle will?

or any of the people who took my key because i dared oppose a bully? or when i couldn’t do anything to help them? or because somebody didn’t play well on a pull and messed up once? or when you join a low key and they (honestly, quite often) turn out to be jerks :?

or any of the people kicking me because i healed as shadow priestess in rdf, LFR and low mythic? entered in fade in dispersion to help the tank and make a really cool pull?.. and if the vote didn’t pass, left and i ended the bad person?

 
or in this case… the people who decide to mass-report me just before the spark day so despite unbanned, it simply doesn’t matter? :­) besides, would my report do anything?

it isn’t true anarchy if you can’t do anything when hated… when the only way to be “cool” is by being mean, and destroy other people yourself :­(

Reports have 0 effect, i see almost on daily base rows of characters all glitchy gathering herbs and ore and mostly fishing, all in their respective dragon all flying against the same wall, do i report them? yes, everytime. Are they all there next day? Of course
Reports of constant bullying regarding nationality also 0 effect, i complained about that by ticket and the sugestion was to pay and move server.

I would say this is kinda false. I normally get the notifications that “Your report has resulted in action…” from blizz. Which means reports are doing something. It’s highly likely blizz has looked at it and realized these are completely normal players, and not glitch bots. You can mine for example on your dragon if you unlock the node. I admit, I have also afked as I flew into a wall to do things irl. Several hundreds of times.
