I see this post and I agree with the single character restriction, but not battle net as I know some prefer to try and keep their anonymity as much as possible.
But then I also read
and I agree with this too Is there a system that would please everybody? I would say no. At the core though I think âforum pvpâ is a thing and maybe if we take away the âperceivedâ reward for this i.e. getting others banned or losing trust levels, it might reduce it slightly.
You shouldnât care much about it. You can lose your Trust level just with a single post.
Iâm pretty sure Iâve lost mine for giving examples with censurable words.
I repeat though, Iâm not sure!
If I may ask, are you really active? I remember I got mine after 82 days of activity, less than the usual 100, but I used to use my phone and iPad quite alot for other things and time to time (smoke break) I took a look to the forums.
I donât think itâs much related to the amount of post you do, for instance having 1k post vs 600 post. Perhaps itâs more about reading time and likes.
Edit:
I permitted myself you âanalyzeâ our profiles, comparing your statistics with mine thereâs a difference.
I have 108 days visited without getting a silence nor a ban (I least I donât think I have).
You have 286 days visited, including silences (I assume youâve been silence).
So in theory youâre should count as someone more active, because youâve visited the forum for a longer time.
Youâve read 68.4k posts.
Iâve read 66.8k posts.
My reading time is 17 days, yours is 16. That means Iâm more actively reading the forums than you.
So if the system values reading time more than anything someone like me would get Trust level 3 faster than someone like you. PS: Itâs just an analysis based on an hypothesis that could not be true, I mean no harm nor offense.
Edit 2: overthinking.
What I mean by you shouldnât care much is: you shouldnât change the way you think or post in order to please others and have a Trust level.
Sure, you can like the idea of having something such as a Trust 3, but I wouldnât recommend to get to the point that affects your posting in an impactful way.
When I post something I donât look for likes or agreements, I donât look to please posters or Blizzard.
I appreciate those likes, when I noticed someone continues to likes my post for me means that they tend to agree with the post Iâve made thatâs it.
If you want to speak your mind you should do it the way you find appropriate.
To get level 3 you have to visit in the past 2 months some 20.000 forum posts and receive and give some hundreds of likes, also donât have any posts flagged.
From the post that Iâve read they implied to never have been sanctioned, yet again people say they got banned and then they got it back so I couldnât tell you.
I think you can lose it if you get an account action in game too but not 100% clear on that.
I lost it after a ban on the forums then got it back and lost it again after I let my game time run out and took a break from WoW for a bit so this is the third time Iâve had it.
Two forums bans and one sub break hasnât stopped me from earning TL3
I think the fact that some like to chop and change so much is why they allow people to swap characters and itâs definitely of more value to RPers.
Bnet isnât the full ID though, all the numbers at the end donât appear, this is how all the other Blizzard forums function. So you still canât add anyone if you donât actually know the numbers that go at the end of the Bnet ID. So I only appear as Puny, not Puny#1234 (that isnât my ID obviously).
The changes they are making are needed but could have been avoided if theyâd just not gone this route in the first place.
