Can't wait to abuse this.
List was swapped around the wrong way for two minutes, sorry!

Silenced after investigation my a**. How are they going to investigate so many requests. That's a thing they say only to close our mouths if we complain about it. Who came up with this idea anyway? Seems pretty stupid honestly. I mean, I enjoy when people fight on chat sometimes. I am 100 % sure it will be abused with nonsense. Give the people power to restrict others, the people will use it. Investigate my a**, there will be too many requests to investigate. It will work like in Dota, you will be unable to do things and you will most likely not know why or when you did something wrong.
Awesome! Only those at risk have a reason to be angry!
I love this
The Trolls are going to love reporting spammers trying to engage in legitimate business activities.
Silenced Players Are Unable to: Talk in Instance Chat (Raid, Party, and Battlegrounds)
Silenced Players Are Able to: Create Parties and Raids
"So this guy creates a party, but wont talk to us?"
I have to wonder if all of the people with the "GG Blizzard can't wait for this to be abused" or "Wow, this is so needlessly harsh" sentiments are simply the folks who know they'll end up being silenced when this feature goes live...
Being helpful and friendly doesn't take anything out of your day!
People will just abuse the shit out of it, so the investigation will take to long to really have an effect on the people who do wrong.
99% will just be reports by assholes how think it's funny.
Of it's an automated system which will lead to the end of chatting in WOW
I am really fond of this feature as long as it does not get abused. For example, having people conspire to harrass another player to silence him on purpose etc.
The only thing I'd change is to still allow them to mail their own alts etc (account restricted emails). However, I'd remove their ability to post on the AH instead.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
Same as now, being reported doesn't do shit unless there's grounds for it. I can't count how many times I've been reported for "botting in Tol Barad" by retards that don't know basic mechanics (such as not allowing yourself to go afk by moving your char every once in a while within a 5 minute window) and it has brought no form of negative results for me. A GM confirmed to me that being reported isn't enough, they'll check if there's grounds for the report and if there's none, you won't have any red flag or bad standing on your account.
The whole thing is swapped.
I like this. They should create penalties for other minor infractions instead of having temporary bans for everything. Isolating troublemakers from the specific parts of the game they're making trouble in is better than removing them from the game completely.
Unfortunately assholes aren't always bad players, and it's not fair for a whole raid or RBG group to be punished because a key player got banned for saying something stupid in trade.
I really hope, that they will in some way mark silenced players, just so you can know why players are not speaking
May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!
Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.
