Report a player, in game reporting is a problem

So I was in AV just now and there was a Tauren Prot Paladin. His name had a bunch of weird letters in it but it began with an S something like sisi. If you look up the last AV I played I am sure you will see him.

So I am fighting him and we almost kill him and he bubbles and runs away. A little while later I see him just charge into the alliance group and Im thinking dang thats pretty gutsy but he just bubbles when hes about to die and runs away again and im like hmmm.

So I see him one more time and we almost kill him and he bubbles and runs back, but this time I keep him targeted, sure enough he gets healed up and charges into the alliance again and I grip him into the back and stun him and low and behold he bubbles again.

So im thinking ok I got him. I right click his name and hit report player for cheating. I type up what I saw and hit submit and wouldnt you know it all of the sudden disconnected out of the game. I log back in and die before i even reload cuz the horde is camping our graveyard. So I finally res and go to find him again but then I get ported out and get deserter.

So I go to open a ticket in game but alas Blizzard has made it such a pain in the butt to open an in game ticket. I am told if I want to report a player I should simply click their name, which would be great if i could physically see him. Sometimes I wonder if you guys even play your own game.

Regardless this whole thing was beyond frusterating. Its bad enough getting rolled by cheaters, but then you cant even report them. Anyway I am sure this will get ignored, so do with it what you will, i dont really care anymore.

This article includes a non in game method to report the cheating. Hope it helps.

I mostly just screen the name and just write a ticket straight away. If you had issues using the other report system just describe that in your ticket. If they hear about this issue multiple times they will have to get to the bottom of this so this type of bug won´t occure again.

Thank you for the report Turintan. Please do report the disconnect as a bug in-game, so it can be looked into.


Have a few seconds to spare? Let me know how I’m doing!

Imo, reporting in some cases are made really unfriendly(and i bet most people are just too lazy for such a requests):

  • There’s no info ingame about alternative ways to report a player(aside “right-click”) => i had to google that forum post to find out about email possibility.
  • there’s no possibility to select correct reporting issue in game(for cheating it’s always “right-click” a character and selecte reporting reason, but it’s impossible when he’s too far from you to select and in opposite fraction - you can’t PM him)
  • Sending an email in 2020 to report a player cheating is just LAME(aside if you attach screenshots/video, but wasn’t my case :wink: )

Imo that’s just making reporting in some cases as hard as possible
My case: opposite faction dude just got teleported from me on 100+ yards. And “easiest” way to report him is to make an opposite fraction character and hope that’s he’s still online(srss?!)
