The boosting is not against the rules right now, so while is permitted, is not OK for some to be able to do it and some to not be able. Either permit it to all, or deny it to all.
Allowing some people to abuse your system and report those that do nothing wrong or against the rules while they (ones reporting) are doing it safely is not OK, is a sh!tty double standard.
As far as I can tell this issue started only when they added the /services chat, I donât remember seeing people get banned for this before, so the system is flawed and it can be used to get you banned for everything, if any reason at all. That is not OK even if we like or dislike boosting.
It makes no difference. People all over reddit complain about getting banned for using only /services, some even for saying once in front of RFC, on /say âWTB RFC Boostâ.
The mafia is abusing this system. You can try selling your socks in org and get reported and banned by the mafia. No one will check the reports, no one will answer your appeals.
That is indeed a very, very sad thing, I agree. One isnât even given the chance to prove reports wrong, and that is absolutley wrong. If I wrote which kind of a letâs say âstateâ would act like this (you being accused, you go to jail without fair trial) Iâd get a ban here.
*Corporationism, capitalism is free market. And the market is obviously not free if the corporation can report free enterprise to the government (Blizzard) and get them banned.
Its like IRL people blame capitalism for effects of social democracy and corporationism. Like banks being bailed with taxpayers money during finance crisis. If big corporation goes down they rob workers and small companies to save it.
Its not capitalism its corporationism and social democracy. And in WoW its even worse with Blizzard banning random people it does not even happen IRL that corporation can report someone to government and a bot end their business.
Youâre angry at the wrong thing, Blizzard was always a for profit company. That makes people go to work. Bobby Kotick just had a vision that was not good for Wow. In a recent interview he said it was bad that people âshouldâ play Wow for 4 hours a day. Which is the essence of an MMORPG.
They can ban their own report system its the easiest thing and let people blacklist spammers. Much better than having a bot ban legit players or mute them.
But that would end in having to hire a real GM and indie company like Blizzard cant afford that because people would be for real doing stuff that is bannable without being banned.
Still better that legit players muted or banned for no reason, just like IRL justice system they rather let a criminal go if no evidence than put 10 innocents in jail. Unless Blizzard want a system like in old USSR or Germany in 1930sâŚ
The most concerning aspect of this issue is the sheer lack of transparency. We have no clear understanding of how many players have been wrongfully silenced or even banned. This is particularly alarming when considering EU servers, where many players have limited English âskillsâ, making it difficult for them to report these issues publicly or successfully appeal their cases. In some instances, players may already be banned, preventing them from even accessing the forums to seek help.
In my friendâs case, he was fortunate to have me write an appeal on his behalf because his English is pretty basic conversational level. However, to this day, the appeal remains unanswered, leaving us uncertain about its impact. The reality is that he has already lost over two weeks of playtime, which directly affects me as well. He was responsible for six alchemy cooldowns/transmutes for my Thunderfury, amounting to approximately 24 cooldowns/transmutes lost over that period, and once again, two weeks of paid play time lost for my buddy.
This also impact my in-game activities. I often sell Dire Maul Tribute buffs, but given the risk of being falsely reported and subsequently banned, I am now hesitant to continue. The thought of facing a ban with no response to an appeal for weeks is deeply frustrating and concerning, especially since that would happen while respecting the rules and conduct.
