Quicker Ad Reporting in the Group Finder

Recommended Posts

P8bM0tU.jpg

Blizzard released a hotfix on live servers that lets you quickly report ads in the Group Finder.

Group reporting has become a lot easier on live servers. If you find a group in the Group Finder containing ads, you can now simply right-click and report it. The whole process has been simplified into two mouse clicks!

Hopefully, this will help combat the multitude of groups that violate the game's Terms of Service.

Thank goodness. The process of opening a window and selecting several option was quite annoying. Sometimes you just to report the adverts quickly to get them out of the list.

While this is nice to have, it doesn't solve the overall problem. For every boosting group you report and take off the list, there are 3 others that are added to it. Boosting has become a plague on WoW and Blizzard is complacent to allow it to continue because so long as boosts exist, people will buy them, and for some people to buy them, they will buy WoW tokens to trade for the gold to buy said boost, directly giving Blizzard more money. One could view it as WoW being P2W now since you can just drop real money into WoW tokens, sell those tokens for gold, and use that gold to buy boosts and get any item you want, a real shame.

thats not how it works. you can buy 100 raid boss boosts or m+ boost and still dont get the item you want. due to rating and sites where you can check with whom that guy ran his m+ keys or if you see that guy did a boss way more often then the others people wont invite you because you are boosted. so in general its a nice to have for alts, people with less time, people who come back and wanna play with their friends but they arent up 2 date, getting "mandatory" raid items you need for m+ or getting "mandatory" m+ items for raiding.

im normally not taking any boosts because i can achive that on my own or with the help of my tank premade but due to late shifts i cant raid anymore because im home around 23:30/0:00 and there is just no raid guild raiding at that time on my realm so for the very first time i bought boosts for Kel to get Forbidden Necromantic Tome which never dropped for me.

another example, rogues still want sylvanas daggers, most likely only way to get a grp for sylvanas myth is to hire a boost grp. i see rogues regularly askin in /2 for that because never ever is a grp open for it.

also making gold is pretty simple and easy. i dont get why some people struggle with that, since legion im paying everything with gold and i just buy mats in AH and craft things and sell them with my main. never made as much gold as i did this addon with legendary crafting and im a casual AH guy im not even using TSM but my old auctioneer. only anoying part is that you have to relist your stuff every once in a while but if you put something in around 4 am you are the lowest for several hours. also i sold many in /2 since the boosting spam is gone.

im ok with how the rules are now, advertisers have to be max level (advertiser have to take part in the boosting grp which isnt possible with level 1) and have to be on your realm otherwise report them, i got plenty thank yous from blizzard allrdy :)

Have fun playing in an inflated economy where your playtime is worth less than a mcdonald job and competing against people who dump a few salaries worth of gold into the economy every raid release.

thx. since a month play time is ~13€ a month its obvsl less worth then a mcdonalds job which earns you enough for a living in most countries.

and about your 2nd part, the high investment of gold from guilds who participate in world first races, their raid member earn their monthly income with this, it got a bit out of hand lately but it doesnt destroy the game thought. i dont earn my monthly income by playing wow so this is ok for me.

McDonalds pays way above the living wage in most countries since its a stressful job (not sure about outside of Europe though). Spending 20e for a piece of loot is way easier than sitting for 2 hours in a raid without knowing whether you'll even kill it. This ruins the game once the japanese/korean pay to win mindset comes here.

i looked that up and in nearly every european country they pay minimum wage but anyways that doesnt matter and was an overall strange statement made by you.

so how do you spend 20€ for a piece of loot and have a guarantee to get it from raid? personally, as i said, i have no time for raiding and i bought several Kel'Thuzad runs (6 for my mage, prices between 70k - 200k) and never got the trinket. also bought 4 Kel'Thuzad boosts for my twink warrior and never got the weapon. so overall i probably wasted 1 mio gold on this which equals 3-4 wow token at that time (i regularly buy token for gold to pay game time or buy services or games) token prices had been aroun 250-270k. that would have been 60-80€ for no items at all.

The only place you looked that up is your *filtered*, for example in Slovakia, companies must disclose the salary by law, the lowest job offer (student position mcdonalds part time worker) is paid 4.90e+ while the minimum wage is 3.713e/hr. They also get bonuses for overtime, holidays and weekends which is a considerable chunk of their working hours.

As for the second part, it's purely your problem you got scammed, GDKP runs are a way safer route to acquire gear with real money investment, you just get in and pay WHEN it drops instead of paying for "boost runs". This adds the extra layer of gold/money management that may not be present in pure boost run, which may be too much for someone.

You also state you have no time to raid but later mention your game time and services are bought with gold. Where do you get the gold  then? If it's not the token you're either spending time in game which contradicts your statement about not having time for raiding, or using RMT services.

why does mcdonalds salaries matter for you? your example was bad and not even in relation to the topic. fine if it is like that in slovakia. in most european countries (most doesnt mean in every) mcdonalds pays the minimum wage. i wont look up every country for you so as an example, germany, netherlands, spain and out of europe, UK pays also minimum wage. look up the rest if you like yourself.

at least in germany they get paid 450€ for christmas, which isnt standart but doesnt change the fact that they get minimum wage so all bonuses, overtimes, holidays and weekend extras doesnt change that fact. can we drop this sensless example now?

what? as if someone offers such a system. do the work and might dont get paid for it because no item dropped is plain bs or extremly rare, i never seen such an offer and im playing on the biggest german realm.

edit: seems like those  runs are a thing in wow classic but not in retail due to many reasons. also GDKP run means that someone offers gold for a raid item and the one who offered the most gets the item, at the end of the run gold is shared equally between everyone in raid, even people who bought items get the same amount gold as everyone. nothing close to what you wrote and doesnt even sound like a boost run since people have to participate normally in the raid, according to buffed, reddit and official wow forum posts

Each time you report an advertisement even if the toon listing the adv is suspended or banned another one pops up immediately. Problem is Blizz allow L1 toons to list in LFG. If that was lifted to say L10 then each of these miscreants would need to level their diisposable toons to L10 and that would potentially hurt them.

      Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
      In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
      "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
      This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
      The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
      Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
      Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

      Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
      This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
      Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
      Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

      As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
      Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
      Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!
    • By Starym
      It's time for some more preliminary stats, as the pre-patch has been here a whole 3 days (well, not exactly "whole", especially considering the game time gifts)! We're taking a look at how the class changes shifted the dungeon meta, but keep in mind these are really early numbers and fewer players do Mythic+ in post-season.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      While the very top spot remains unchallenged, as Augmentation is set to rule M+ forever, the rest is pretty different! We have some Fyr'alath action right after the Evoker, as Fury and Ret fight it out over the silver, while Shadow falls down to 4th, but is still very much in the game. Unholy makes a solid leap up and passes Elemental, with Fire dropping down some. Devastation and Demonology are newcomers to the bottom 3, where Enhancement welcomes them as a pretty much permanent resident.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      Things are looking similar in the generalist bracket, but Retribution takes down Fury here and Fire is significantly higher. Survival is also doing a lot better than in the top percentiles, and Beast Mastery makes the top 10 as well.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      The tanks show basically no change whatsoever, as is customary, with only Protection Warrior managing to climb one up and leave Brewmaster at the bottom.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Holy is pushing up and then some, claiming 2nd right below the long-time emperor, Resto Druid. Shaman climbs up from much lower to grab 3rd, while Discipline falls down to the bottom.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
    • By Starym
      There's plenty more class changes for both the pre-patch and Season of Discovery, along with dungeon tweaks, Skyriding fixes, profession and PvP adjustments and more!
       July 25 (Source)
      Classes
      Druid Balance Wrath cast by Convoke the Spirits now consumes Dreamstate buffs from Nature's Grace and the Amirdrassil Season 3 (2-piece) Set Armor bonus. Amirdrassil Season 3 (2-piece) Set Armor: Dreamstate now increases the damage of Wrath and Starfire by 80% (was 100%). Hunter Survival Players who had a Wildfire Bomb override from Wildfire Infusion's previous iteration have had them removed. Warrior Protection Fixed a bug causing Spell Reflection to occasionally fail to reflect a spell. Dungeons and Raids
      Algeth'ar Academy Fixed an issue where Vexamus would not face its target during the cast of Arcane Expulsion on Heroic and Mythic difficulty. Flying
      Pathfinder requirements for Skyriding have been removed from Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands zones. Player-versus-Player
      Malicia and Field Master Emberath now correctly offer their Dragonflight Season 4 War Mode equipment until the launch of War Within. Resolved an issue that sometimes prevented healers from being able to duo queue in Rated Battleground Blitz. Professions
      Reduced Trainer costs for Dragonflight professions. Titles
      The Title "Timber Lord" should now display correctly. Season of Discovery
      Increased the number of Firelands Invader, Obsidian Reaver, and Obsidian Surger spawns for the Blackrock Eruption event across Searing Gorge. The Might of Stormwind buff will now appear properly in the tooltip when a Chronoboon is used. Items Devilcore Leggings and Devilcore Gloves patterns can now drop from additional sources other than King Mosh. All of the revamped or new Molten Core items that were strictly Unique are now Unique-Equipped to allow master looters to hold these items during raids. Season of Discovery versions of recipes should be available again from their trainers, making turn-ins for professions quests possible. Mage Rewind Time can no longer be cast if the target will not benefit from its healing. Priest Priests who don't have the Divine Spirit talent learned are now prevented from casting higher ranks of Divine Spirit and Prayer of Spirit. Rogue The cooldown on Rogue Shuriken Toss has been reduced to 20 seconds (was 30 seconds). Warlock Shadowflame will no longer be overwritten by Improved Shadow Bolt. Warrior Last Stand cooldown reduced to 3 minutes.
