    There wouldn't be an issue if people didn't make dumb tickets like:

    When's the next expansion?

    Who's more powerful, Varian or Thrall?

    Why is my DPS so low?

    Why are people in LFD so mean?

    How do I get this achievement?

    Where does this item drop?

    ...And countless other pointless tickets I've heard of people making. Seriously, don't waste GMs time on that junk, use Google.

    He's freaking out because he doesn't know that someone complains about their ticket every day.

    And yeah, like the above poster said, a lot of them are incredibly stupid.

    reading the blue posts, it sounds like they closed the ones that were topics they couldn't help with anyway and not just randomly closed some.

    still, kind of bad for customer service, id suggest if anyone needs proper help use the phone service, its much better.

    Haha, i can probably guess whats going on. They recently sent out a banwave for third party software that was really popular and had a HUGE community (considering it has been existing since the end of WotLK or so as i recall) and now thousands upon thousands of people are trying to battle their bans, creating a massive flood of tickets. But thats just my theory.

    Oh, you mean they are now cba to use even those copypasted answers? They must be seriously pissed off, or they just dont care because they know they wont be punished for this.

    Actually read what was said. They have a huge backlog, and chances are a lot of those tickets are frivolous ('omg BAN THIS HUNTER THAT KILLED ME IN PVP', or 'I WANT 50000000 GOLD NOW') or already resolved by themselves without the need for GM intervention.

    There will be a lot of serious tickets, but they can easily be re-submitted, and now the GMs can get to those serious tickets far quicker than they could previously.

    Yup - just took a read of the Blizzard CS forums, and they are as entertaining as always.

    Unbelievable. The queue is big, so rather than filter or, I don't know, do their jobs, they just mass closed a whole bunch of open tickets with a generic response.

    On the plus side, I'm sure their response time reports will look positive this month.
    well i mean, to be honest. a very large portion of things people file tickets for can be fixed with a simple google search, or isnt actually a problem.

    everytime ive had to make a ticket as long as i was online they always went above and beyond to fix my problem (occasionally even doing things they arent really supposed to do but because i asked nicely and was polite the gm went ahead and did it)

    i think i only had to reopen a ticket once or twice and it was because i was either offline or my problem was actually like 2 problems and they accidentally only fixed one.

    I'd be surprised if they closed them randomly, they have the technology to be able to filter through them and the one's they closed were likely to be low priority ones. If people didn't ticket for stupid things like vendoring a quest reward or something then queues wouldn't be so long in the first place.

    They have a big queue because of yesterday's massive ban wave.

    Don't worry, soon they will be offering a special service in their in-game store. For the low price of $14.99 per ticket, you can open up a super secret club 'golden ticket' that will be put in a special queue and addressed by the developers themselves.
    Let's make America GREAT again. Trump 2016.

    The community whined and bitched and cried, they stamped their little feet and demanded faster expansion releases. They don't get to complain now that expansions are shorter.

    I would be willing to bet that probably 95% of the tickets they closed out were people either asking why they got banned, can they be unbanned or why their friend is banned. Especially after the banwave this week. They don't have time to answer those questions because it is a completely different department and even states in the email either why, how long or who to contact.

    I would guess the other 5% just got hit by the filter by accident. In which case, as many others said, if the people feel their ticket needs answered they will resubmit.

    Oh well that's okay then. I am sure you would welcome your bank ignoring your requests for support when you can't access your account because someone might have complained that that the chain on the pens is too short.

    I am sorry if a business has so many issues being raised by its customers that it does not have the capability to deal with them all then it is doing something very wrong. This is the equivalent of putting their hands over their ears and screaming "La La La! Can't hear you!"

    Ignoring the big massive ban wave that people would put tickets in to try and say "I DIDN'T BOT!" Also you're also assuming there is NEVER any tickets that are a waste of time.

    That is not the problem for those that have genuine issues and this ban wave did not come as a surprise to Blizzard. For the most part if the customer takes time to contact your business their issue is not a waste of time.
