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.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
