>wow players too dumb to use ignore
No one talks anyways. Those who do act like they are shit posting on 4chan.
>>344884547
Ignore isn't account wide, anon.
LOL
>>344884547
>player toxicity
I hate that this has become a term
>wow players too dumb to use ignore
more like blizzard is too stupid to remove the limit to the ignore list
>report for spam
>still receive whispers
>ignore
>still receive whispers
this is going to be abused to hell anyway
>>344885896
I remember how chuffed Blizzard were with WoDs initial surge. What a joke
Over/under 3 months before they get too lazy to investigate and just auto-silence?
>>344884547
>that shit has been on a private server I've played on 8 or 9 years ago
>>344885896
i wonder
what happened in each point/spike/lower point of that
assume cata drops started with the nerfs to heroics
>>344886002
Adding onto this
>report gold seller
>DC and the gold seller isn't ignored automatically in the process
>>344886002
>maxing your ignore list
stop being retarded
>>344885947
Toxic is a word that's been forever ruined because of thin-skinned faggots that try to shift the blame to the community instead of admitting they're thin-skinned faggots.
>>344885896
Blizzard held almost 12 million people without hardly updating the fucking game for 6 months during cata.
All they had to do was NOT fuck that up. That was all they had to do. They couldn't even fucking do that.
>>344886570
>cata.
I meant Wrath. 6 months without updates in wrath.
>>344886663
ICC raid tier lasted for 12 months.
12 months without a meaningful content update. Unless you count ruby sanctum but that was more of a mini raid than a full fledged one.
>>344885896
When the king is dead, so is the entire game. Also I really hated how easy they made it to kill Arthas.
People complaining about this are universally shitheads, so no surprises there OP
So you can't even laugh at the chat anymore. What else is there?
>>344884547
>wow players too dumb to use ignore
How do you put people on an ignore list before they say dumb shit without doing it to innocent people?
>>344886895
Just look away from the screen.
>>344884547
>/leave 2
>/leave 4
I fix'd your wow chat
the only people who ever complain about stuff like this are the kind of retards who would get slapped with a ban like that in the first place
>>344887104
This applies to more than just those channels, and I think the problem they are really addressing here is LFR and Battleground chat
>>344884547
>A silence feature to deal with retards shitposting
What's the problem?
>>344886895
I'm impressed WoW player are intelligent enought to grasp the concept of basic human interactions desu.
>>344885896
>mfw a good half of these are bots and chinks

>LFR
>BGs
>chat
>>344887246
Why the fuck would you give a shit about BG chat? They can't fucking kick you from the group no matter how awful you play. You can literally just respond with :^) to every fucking comment and the worst they'll do is just throw you on ignore.
>>344886785
>Unless you count ruby sanctum but that was more of a mini raid than a full fledged one
but it was a damn fun raid.
>>344885896
WoW is so dead at this point. Everything is cross realm to make servers appear less dead, the auction house is no longer faction based because factions are largely imbalanced when it comes to player numbers, and all people do these days is just AFK in their Garrison which makes the world appear dead as fuck. You can walk into Orgrimmar and see only a handful of people today.
>>344884547
My only issue with this is that I can see it getting abused by groups.
>>344887246
>get buttflustered and mute raid leader
>raid goes to shit
>proceed to wipe in lfr
CAN'T
FUCKING
WAIT
>>344887973
because people are literal pussies that get upset when they get called shit
>>344884547
>More carebear pree-school playground time ?
Shit.
>/e has reported you
>Boo-hoo. I can't be an asshole to people anymore.
How ever will you cope?
So this just makes players less incentive to talk and and socialize with others? Amazing.
>>344884547
>toxicity
Sometimes I feel like I should just kill myself so I never have to be exposed to be spouting stupid shit again.
>>344888104
>LFR
>Wipe
This doesn't really ever happen does it?
>>344888318
Judging by the day to day chat, that might not be such a bad thing.
>>344884547
>What can they do? They may "whisper" to World of Warcraft and Battle.net friends; reply to whispers; participate in Party/Raid Chat with invited players; create parties and raids; talk in global channels that are moderated; share quests and sign up for a pre-made group.
wow it's fucking nothing
>>344887332
Shitposting is my right.
>>344888368
have you eve done a lfg? Go run black temple right now
>>344884547
Help.
>>344888515
And it's my right to punish you for it.
>>344888348
The term's been around longer than MMOs.
It's been around longer than video games.
Just because you can't handle a proper label for "faggotry," you're getting upset.
>>344888565
But I can easily solo black temple?
"I'm not creative or intelligent enough to berrate people without being obviously insulting"
You're all just retards.
>>344884547
>implying having toxic members of the community isn't a necessary part of defining online identity and self-awareness or others in an online environment
>>344888815
Are you being intentionally ironic?
>>344888759
what class can solo archi?
>>344888815
>insults can not be creative or intelligently delivered
>>344888971
Any class can solo him pretty easily.
>>344884547
>chat privileges
What a bunch of millennial faggotry.
>>344884547
Don't they realize this kind of dystopian shit is unwanted and self-harmful? I mean, fuck, most of the sci-fi dictatorship novela have this kind of shit for establishing the baseline lack of morals and human decency.
>>344889095
Bless your heart, anon, that other one just doesn't understand that sometimes you have to be blunt, even if it means offending the other party. If someone's being a faggot, clearly you call them out on being a faggot! Otherwise their poor little easily distracted minds don't realize it and keep on being that way.
>>344889517
>My old books say it's bad so it is
>>344884547
I got no problem for silencing people that spam. part of free speech is letting other people talk, too.
You could remove the chat feature entirely from modern WoW and there would be no difference for 99% of the current population of LFR shitters that play the game.
>>344890356
>online game owned by a private corporation

oh, anon
