"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
I get what you mean, someone who purposely sabotages runs should be suspended as much as toxic people, the game rn feels v unwelcoming to newer players and even the other day in LFR there was a frost mage just standing there throughout an entire bossfight, luckily people were proactive and removed him afterwards but he was still rewarded for putting no effort in, people like that need removing.

There's a difference between someone purposely freeloading and someone still learning the game/class, obviously being toxic to a new comer by mistake can happen but this is were all forms of toxicity needs to be fished out of the community as a whole.
This thread is pointless, because Blizzard just can't ask me to stay polite, if at the same time game mechanics promote toxicity. It's like giving me a gun, but asking me not to shoot other people. Problem is, if it won't be 100% guaranteed, that others won't shoot me first, then shooting others - is the best gaming strategy.
I don't care about Wow 11.0, if it's not solo-MMO. No half-measures - just perfect xpack.
I said I could bring you more sources if you want but your was... pretty good for my case. Did you read your source? It really pointed out if women are allowed to perform the same job as men they are compensated for it but often they are not allowed. It included such charts as "when women have kids their pay goes down but men goes up" and "in the legal field women are paid like garbage."
The legal field brings me back to my point. How dare you pretend like this is not a think on an mmo forum and think that I won't have a talking point?

Blizz for sure going to settle this for sure. It isn't just a bunch of whining. It is destroying their business in ways p[people can viably see from the outside.

So outside this last article is from the UK.
But it does not matter. I do not believe you own a business or support a loved one. Debating this issue puts me at a disadvantage because for you it is purely academic. If I do not respond to you again it is not because you are correct it is because educating your does not matter.

If they ban you, then they very well can do something about it though.
It seems like people are forgetting this is bundled with a revamp of the report feature too.

It's pretty clear they're setting up to be more harsh on toxicity in game.

Yea, I am not sure it is game mechanics. When I started Moongaurd was all about freaky free love. Last time I played on that server people were screaming about how excited they were to see Ruth B. Ginsberg being eaten by aborted fetuses in hell.
I don't know what game mechanic can make you so conservative you actively cheer for Silent Hill.
I think they have started enforcing it a bit more. I recently got a week suspension after calling people who pulled Consumption early fucking dumb cunts, and a few other things as well. Was it deserved? probably, bit long in my opinion but I am biased. will I do it again? fuck no
There are two parts about this interaction, I should've broken it down. The callout in itself, and the tone. I don't think they will ever act on the former, and I believe the later should be culture sensitive, rather than shoven down our throats. It shows how much of an agenda pushing this is.
I mean, if you don't press accept it just means you are paying a subscription for nothing
What a pointless thread
This world don't give us nothing. It be our lot to suffer... and our duty to fight back.
Given Blizzards business relations with China, i think them playing their games and taking from assholes are two very separate things for them.
And that happened without even agreeing to the social contract.
It's almost as if this thing entirely unncesecessary and largely comes off as a PR stunt or product of a meeting with a bunch of very naive designers.

A new report system isnt really going to do anything by itself. We already have the option to report someone for language. What needs to change is on blizzards end as per usual, not on the players end. But once again Blizzard forces change on players on behalf of their own shortcomings.
