Please note – this revised policy is not retroactive and we will not investigate cases which occurred before 29/04/2010
Moments after logging into the game for the first time, players get to experience one of the hallmarks of World of Warcraft: looting. Whether playing solo or with a group of other players, the process of looting items is integral to making a character more powerful. The more one plays, the more epic this loot gets—and the more complicated loot distribution can become.
Over the last few months you have made it apparent to us that scams (a.k.a. “ninja looting”) are one of your upmost concerns, and subsequently, we have revised our scamming policies in an attempt to prevent misleading behaviour. Our goal here is also to clear up any confusion about what we can and cannot help with in regards to looting, and provide you with the support that you have asked for.
Please take a look at these new and updated articles on our support site, which will explain “ninja looting” and the revised scam policy in greater detail:
