Why is ‘child abuse’ a reportable option now?

Again if the account wide bnet ignore existed it would be two mouse clicks from you versus 100$ worth of purchasing from the abuser if they made a new bnet everytime to contact you.
If you don’t believe it’s AI templates go on any reddit forum search for wow appeals you’ll see alot of automated examples when they actually have provided screenshots.

Keeping this feature will just destroy any remnant of social interaction the game has left. But whatever be my guest.

Probably because of Erp Server like Argent Dawn

some people wants to play as a child there, what get´s abused

and also wow have some Ped**o players aswell. we had the problem 2 days ago on our old Guild Discord server where a guy made a offer to an child for a wow token etc. things like this exist, but most likely underground, and unnoticeable

a report section for getting Catfished when?!!

The objection to this isn’t to the actual cases where it’s justified, it’s to the 9999 cases out of 10000 where it will lead to automated bans because people can select every option when reporting someone, including this “child abuse option”.
What you describe is utterly disgusting and those people should be arrested obviously.

yeah wish they would get rid of it these automated bans, they are already out of Controll, but they are cutting costs, it is just sad that things like this are legal

i got 1 week ago perma banned, reason “for using a cheat” and after 30 min Unbanned really weird what is happening currently

I guess it’s for PvP players when they get stomped.

No it is for abusing dragon offsprings .

Where is that in battle.net? I can find address, credit card details, mobile phone number, but no birth date field.

Though considering that my account is 20 years old, I don’t think Blizzard needs my birthdate to see if I’m a child or not.

It was part of account creation as far as i can recall but its a long time ago now!!! I have had to provide documentation a few times and those had my DoB on them.

Most accounts I’ve set up over the years include that info. It could be that WoW doesn’t.

Yop, guild name checks out.

Honestly, are we surprised that with a guild name like that you don’t end up attracting those kinds of ppl?

I don’t even want to know what made them add these options to the list…it must have some ‘based on experience’ behind it, unless it’s some law they have to obey.

Umm, Puny is not a developer nor a mod.
Greens do not work for Blizzard.
Developers don’t post in the forums.

A very large problem with the erp goldshire scene everyone knows exists is that this game is pg13 and humans are often very popular races in fantasy settings and the erp goldshire community cares more about edited by moderator then they do age checking the people they solicit themselves too even tho they have the full knowledge that they exist in a pg13 setting.

Idk if this is the why, but this is what I would use it for.

I am really tempted to start reporting people that int my keys for terrorism XD.

PS Chill Blizzard, its a joke I won’t abuse your report system.

Learn to Read my god

in my current Guild are Only Arena Mates of 3 different People what have nothing to do with this

surprisingly, I didn’t attract anyone with it, Thats how it should be, Cuz its just a j4f troll guild with my Arena Mates. but it doesnt change the fact. that im still in some Old Guild discords

Sry when u get offended by it, im scared to talk to some of them without getting nervous it´s a new playground for me

atleast it works, that people noticeable the Name xD

It was when Blizzard was in charge that week in writing the Domesday Book.

How the heck would people be able to interact in a way that is considered child abuse in WoW?

Or are we talking about predators who somehow try to find minors IRL through WoW?

Or maybe to report parents who are forcing their kids to grind gold/reputations/materials for them? (imagine)

some People what play habbo hotel are also playing world of warcraft :eyes:

Probably
