TIFU by ganking a 20-man multi-boxer

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:21 AM PST

If you're on Emerald Dream US then you know theres a multi-boxer on Horde who runs like 20-druids and just ganks anyone at flight paths on Broken Isles and teleport points on Argus.

And most of us if not all of us know that fan of knives/shuriken storm can be OP as fuck with the right trinkets and legendaries.

I went into the crowd and spammed my AoE and somehow managed to down most of them. Vanished then did it again and got them all.

He didn't release for a while, i just kept /dancing on all his bodies.

You know that split second before someone releases, you see what theyre targeting? He was targeting me and I knew he would come back for me. Except he didn't.

But about 15 or so minutes gone by and I get disconnected out of the game. I log back in and my rogue is forced a name change (my rogue's name is ---- (edit: keeping it private to prevent witch-hunting) btw so it doesn't violate any rules."

So I'm like alright, not the first time its happened... (first time i was forced a namechange is bcuz some guy on my server made everyone report my name, then he took the name for himself :/...)

Anyways, I log in and i'm muted. I open a ticket and the GM responds to me within a few hours. Said I got reported for my name by 20 people and reported for spamming by 20 people. He lifted off the mute but won't reverse the name change. Its taken now.

Moral of the story: the automated punishment system is pretty unfair. I understand why a high volume of reports would cause automated bans to be set in course (to take the player out of the game so they can stop causing trouble.)

But i feel like they should at least be IP specific to prevent multiboxers from abusing the system. This used to happen in WoD when a multibozing livestreamer reported anyone he liked.

TLDR: ganked a multiboxer, he ganked me back with 20 simultaneous reports

Edit: PLEASE DON'T TARGET BLIZZ FOR THIS* Their automated bans are set in place for a just reason. If a series of report come in a place then the person has to be removed from the game granted the possibility that they could be violating rules. Its not blizz's fault, its the player's who abuse the system. Theyre not let off easily for this I believe, (look at what happened to Preparedwow) Point your pitchforks at people who don't respect the report system or don't point your pitchforks at all.

As for my name, i opened a ticket for it.

Thankful for WoW

This is a bit of a rant post but I'm sorry as things are bad right now.

I don't know if you all of you but Southern California has been clobbered this last month by fires, and today I woke up to the news that my house has been partially ruined by a mudslide. Massive rains hit last night and brought all the debris from the mountains down since the fire burned the mountains everything just fell down and nothing soaked in.

My family and I evacuated last night to a hotel so we are safe, except for my Dad, he stayed the night because he has the flu so that's another story but he is alright at the moment!

Anyways I know that my Xbox is destroyed since it was in the house so I have been playing WoW on my laptop this last month. WoW has been helpful for staying calm and since it is so mobile I've been able to play on my MacBook Pro! Just want to say thank you for this game and this community for distracting me.

Sorry for this serious post. Thank you for reading if you did.

One of the most beautiful places in-game. Imagine a zone like Ulduar with Legion/BFA tech.

How did this guy manage to dock the ship when he can't even see where he's going?

God-King Skovald stands still after pull, does nothing, not even in combat. We failed the key because of it.
