Reporting a griefer

Dolemiteismy-Mograine is a mage that says “help me summon” in battlegrounds then opens up a portal and gets people kicked from the battleground.
He’s doing this maliciously and should be banned for it. He’s wasting the time of other players on purpose.
He thinks it is not offense to waste other people’s time like this.

I want to add, he does this in AV which is a 1 hour queue for horde atm. So 1hour+ is wasted because of the actions of this person.

Might wanna remove the name from your post. Naming and shaming on the forum is not allowed and the only person that’ll be punished is you.

how am I gonna report him then ?

Post his name on your realm discord where blizzard can’t enforce their silly naming and shaming policy. Naming and shaming is literally the only thing players can do to somewhat punish this kind of behavior.

You can’t say “This is a social game, normal social interactions are part of it” and then in the same breath finish your sentence with “but don’t try to use this normal social interaction to warn other players of bad actors who break normal societal norms”. That is just wrong.

I don’t think you can report someone for this. This is an old stupid joke people been doing since 2005

You can only blame yourself for clicking it.

It’s pretty much up there with players saying “press alt_f4” to start the battle or that sort of thing. Annoying when there are long queues indeed but hopefully people either don’t fall for it or only do so once.

It’s so him, it’s totally him=)

While I totally agree with everything you’re saying here I think the rule is also in place to protect innocent players that someone just has a personal vendetta against for some reason.
Anyone could call out anyone for ninja’ing, enchant mats scamming or whatever else, without proof, trying to get someones reputation ruined.
So what I’m saying is… I think I can see both sides of this. Why they should let us name-and-shame and why it isn’t allowed.

Maybe he just thinks he’s playing warlock, don’t judge the guy too harshly.

haha that’s a good trick i’ll have to watch out for that OP thanks

Sorry but that’s hilarious lol

This is not griefing.
If you fall for that, you deserve the deserter debuff!
/me has reported you as being AFK, if you want to stay in the instance you must type /afk enable.
It is crazy how many simpletons fall for that as well.

Reminds me of the /camp ruse people used to use.

It is by definition griefing:

the activity of deliberately annoying other players in a game played on the Internet, or doing things that spoil the game for them

But that doesn’t mean it’s against the EULA. But, it literally is:

  1. Harassment, “griefing,” abusive behavior or chat, conduct intended to unreasonably undermine or disrupt the Game experiences of others, deliberate inactivity or disconnecting, and/or any other activity which violates Blizzard’s Code of Conduct or In-Game Policies.

But, the EULA is so broad that basically anything can be considered griefing. The question is if it’s unreasonable or not. I would say it is when you trick your own faction to be kicked from a bg without the possibility to get back.
