aren’t normal players in their right to mass report sync leaders??

You are supposedly against breaking the rules, but you yourself are violating them. Do you know that calls for mass reports are strictly prohibited on the forum?

with lack of action on blizzards part i can only assume they left the issue up to player base to sort it out?

Unless I’m mistaken, syncing premades falls under the “gaining unfair advantage” rule.
So players should report such behaviour.
I’m willing to be proven wrong. With facts, of course.

There is such a thing as “presumption of innocence” it is the basis of justice. The accused is considered innocent until proven guilty. Can you prove it?
Is it the duty of the guy filing a police report to prove whether or not the perpetrator is guilty?

Is a person against whom a complaint has been filed obliged to prove his innocence?
No? That’s why a court exists. Lol.

100% within your right to report people who appear to be cheating / gaining an unfair advantage.
’strictly prohibited’!?
I can’t find any official rule on ‘mass reporting’ -only false reporting / coordinated false reporting. If you could link me an official rule please (that’s not in a ‘grey area’), that should clear up any misunderstanding.
…not that OP even called for mass reporting, so I’m still unsure which rule you think he violated.
I dont accept that inviting others to report genuine ToS violations is against any rule.
I hereby unequivocally invite everyone to report ToS violations without hesitation.

It is not the court that proves guilt, but the prosecutor’s office does it in court, oh well…
Then why do you, when you accuse people of breaking the rules, want them to prove to you that they are not breaking the rules?
Where did I say that? All I said was for people to report anyone suspected of cheating/breaking the rules.

According to the rules, synchronization is not considered a violation, therefore, reports of alleged violations are considered false.
Do you think false reports are considered a punishable violation?
Absolutely.
Knowing synchronisation results in a win-lose ratio of 49:1, do you think it qualifies as an unfair advantage?
(I’d be amused to watch you argue otherwise)
There is no in-game option to queue 40players into a BG. You have to bend the rules to do this. Knowing that bending the rules in this way gives you a 98% chance of winning, I don’t see how anyone could (in good faith) argue it doesn’t qualify as an unfair advantage.

It depends on what exactly you consider an unfair advantage. In this case, you think that if one part of the players was able to organize, unite and play together, then this part is breaking the rules.
But excuse me, what are these people doing that the others can’t?
Yes, it could be called an unfair advantage if one part of the players were allowed to play together, and the other was not. Everyone is on absolutely equal terms and some can do what others do, it is allowed.

Everyone is absolutely not on equal terms.
One side queues with a legitimate number of players (Blizz’ limit of 5)
The other side circumvents Blizz’ 5player limit with the sole purpose of gaining an advantage (49:1)
The fact that the former could bend the rules but chooses not to, doesn’t make this a fair playing field.
Sync vs Sync = fair game.
Rando vs Rando = fair game.
Sync vs Rando = circumventing a group-size restriction to gain an unfair advantage against people playing by the official group size restrictions, knowing you have a 98% chance of winning.
I know you know this, but it’s amusing to watch the mental contortions attempting to justify it.

Limit blizzard. But you can synq with 20 groups. Here no limit.
Blizzard does not prohibit any players from doing this. And therefore, yes, the conditions are the same for everyone. The fact that players do not want to do this is another matter. But this is not a problem of players who unite and certainly not a problem of Blizzard.
Blizzard HAS prohibited players from doing this, by setting a group-size limit.

Try to enter a BG with >5 players.
You’ll probably get an Error message along the lines of: “Your group is too large to queue for this”
-that is Blizz explicitly telling you that the limit is 5.
It’s completely understandable why players will report you for breaking rules, when you’ve circumvented Blizz’ restrictions & given them a 2% chance of winning. Repeatedly. Day-in-day-out. Year-on-year.
But to then turn around & claim it’s ‘legitimate’ & ‘Blizz doesn’t prohibit it’ & that it’s ok because ’well, you could break the rules too -you just don’t wanna!’ …is gaslighting.

No one bypasses the limit on the number of players in a group, it is technically impossible to do.
Blizzard did NOT limit the number of groups that can enter the BG, this is exactly what you are trying to pass off as a violation.
If a limit is imposed on the number of groups that can get to the BG, then bypassing such a limitation could be considered a violation. At the moment, this is allowed.
