Wasted all my WoD raid lockouts without even having stepped foot inside the raids

Community General Discussion

Was doing some open world stuff with a party of randoms in Draenor, and it seems like one of the party member just flew around and entered all WoD Mythic raids, he did not defeat any bosses, just entered and left (maybe killed a single trash mob, idk).

This was enough to create a Mythic raid ID for our group to all the raids, so we are now all locked, despite not having even stepped foot inside any of the raids.

What happens now is if I try to enter any raid is I’m not in this instance group, and I get a 1min countdown to teleport out, even if the bosses are still up I’m not in this instance ID group and I can screw myself.

There was never a pop up asking me if I want to accept the lockout
There was no notification at all that I’m now saved to any raid
There was absolutely no way for me to reject this
I didn’t even step close to the raid and I got my lockouts for the week wasted.
It’s amazing how all the abuse and trolling tools are handed over to players on a silver plate directly by Blizzard

THIS, HAS, TO, CHANGE, BLIZZARD!

I’d tell you to open a ticket, but I have one open and the average wait time is almost 5 days… You know what my ticket’s about? If you guessed “WoD Raids” congratulations. :unamused:

did you try the reset all instances button?

You do know what he did is not against the rules, right? Even though it was a lousy thing to do.

I thought instances could be reset if you haven’t killed a boss.

That really sucks :frowning:

Not Mythic no, once you enter you are tied to the specific instance and party ID.

It might not be directly against the rules but it is abuse of the system

Do you know which player it is? Could you report them for griefing? As surely that comes under the rules of damaging other game play?

I’m pretty sure it was a bug then, because mythic lockouts don’t work like that. You only get ID when you kill a boss, if you join a party that has killed any bosses then enter the instance you’ll even get a warning and get the option to take the ID or get teleported out of the instance. You shouldn’t be saved to that instance if they’ve only killed trash but not any bosses.

That really sounds like a bug then, I got teleported out of the instance every single time declined that pop up. Do you use any UI addons? If you are using one, it might be because they are glitched or aren’t updated for a long time.

Either way, it sucks losing lockouts like that. I hope it’ll be fixed for you.

now I know you are not telling us something important just by this comment.

Yeah I actually did extensive testing of the Mythic raid system with several alts and guildies before posting here.
Also running mog runs in legacy content is what I specialized into.

Tho yeah, someone knowing something inside out before posting is a true rarity, I admit.

And that is the problem.

Being a total rude and antisocial is OK with game-terms, even if it disrupts gameplay.
I’m ok with being rude etc - just ignore. But this counts as harassment and it should not be allowed.
