    Hey! Hope you spent your holidays all good! Now... Rant time.
    I want to start this off with that while I don't really play WoW right now, I have been keeping a close eye on the WoW Classic scene and talking with people regarding they're experiences, and.. wow..
    I don't know man, I really enjoyed the Classic concept at first but then slowly problems kept piling up that really could be solved if Blizzard just played SOME attention. Literally hire the janitor with an extra 5$ an hour to pay attention to it every now and then.
    It's INSANE how rampant botting is in this game, it's really insane to me how unbothered these botters seem either. Due to this, along with third party gold selling websites, the economy keeps getting absolutely blasted. And not only that it just really sucks to see these bot trains all the time in a game you pay for.
    Although, I have to admit, I have had quite the laugh watching footage of bots fighting each other in battlegrounds, that's hilarious.
    People also literally had to wait more than a month in some cases for their ticket responses. INSANE. As if they aren't paying a monthly subscription for an easily resolved issue? Pretty damn disappointing.
    TBC Classic. I really, really, really, really... just don't understand why there aren't any servers for it available anymore after WoTLK Classic release. Like...... why...... what was the damn point of this whole project....? They claim they might make them available again in the future vaguely... but this is already ridiculous. So what was the plan? Release it real quick, release the stupid level boost, get EZ money and then gut it? I literally would've loved to play it still but I GUESS TOO BAD! I thought Classic servers are supposed to be a permanent option for paying players that can just always come back to it whenever they find it comfortable. Why does it also have to be FOMO??
    Speaking of Classic servers. I also don't understand Classic Era. I would LOVE to play some of that too BUT GUESS WHAT I just don't feel like it when I enter and see that like every realm is Low pop and probably dying. Why? There's over 30 realms for Classic Era on EU alone and somehow like 10 or so for WoTLK which just came out.... how does that work.....? Can you like... oh I don't know... maybe merge them....? So there's like just a few realms but they're actively decently populated? No?... Too hard?... Yea shocking.
    There's just so many issues with Classic in my eyes and most of them aren't because the game is bad. The whole point of Classic is to experience the game as it was and I'm fine with that. But some of these issues are EASILY Solved if Blizz payed attention to it for like 1 minute. I don't know man.... I don't know..
    Any case, hope you enjoyed the video!

      I booted up Warmane the other day because I wanted to play some Wotlk on a server where everything is pretty transparent. It's not perfect, but wow:wotlk obviously wasn't either. I can play WSG on Warmane and while every now and then the gearscore difference is hilariously painful, more than what I've experienced on live, there's yet to be a WSG where there are only 4 real players on each team, accompanied by 6 DK bots. Warmane will be there when Wotlk Classic is mishandled at the end of its life.

      A good system, would have not automated bans and always human revieuw but raise reports to top that have a lot of people reporting it.
      Too bad it would require paying gm's and not enforcing arbitary quatas on them. So won't ever happen.
      Just imagine a perfect world where blizz actually had enough gm's and actually banned bots etc, constanlty instead of waves.
      If you would get mass reported in that perfect world with not doing anything wrong, it would end up getting the mass reporters banned.
      But alas, we don't live in that world. The only thing left to do is, get all victims off mass reportings together, see how many still want to play, and create a guild that mass reports mass reporters, to get them muted and banned to fight fire with fire basically. Otherwise you shall always remain a victim.

After I left the group they all started raging in whisper chat and mass reporting me. Funny part is that it took at least 8 days for my ticket to get resolved.

You need to gather 20+ simular friends and start mass report people to force Blizzard to take action or the servers fall apart. THAT will stop it.

      I have to agree with some of the other comments here. TBC Classic was in really bad shape when it was finally taken out back. And it's a shame, it really is, but I remember the forums being dead relatively early on, and unfortunately PvP was also extremely messed up. No one played alliance, so it kinda broke the game. I messed with it some, didn't get super serious into it, but I remember feeling like it wasn't doing so hot.

      Uuh yeah, the game could very much have been what it was in our memories. Private servers managed to recreate that just fine before Blizzard sent their lawyers after them. The only reason the game isn't what it used to be is because Blizzard doesn't want to spend a single cent on it, it's a complete cashgrab. With just a little bit of moderation to ban bots and review tickets, the game would've been great, but alas the multi-billion dollar company can't afford that.

      Completely false. Any behaviour you see in wow today was already there 10 years ago. I know that because I was there.
      The only difference between before and today is that Blizzard fired 90% of its staff and keeps the servers running on automated garbage with as little maintenance as possible. It's entirely Blizzard's fault and has nothing to do with the community being any different.

    Watching this after getting banned a SECOND time in classic wow for chat. GMs after receiving a report phish your other chats that are not related to find actual violations you may have said in a private chat so when you attempt to appeal you’re hit with some things you said weeks or days before/after a player reports you. It’s not just automated bans. The blizzard employees are as triggered as the players.

My friends all server transferred so when I tried to server transfer it wouldn't let me because the items were in the mailbox and I couldn't do anything with them at all or fix it so I was stuck with it in my mail for 30 days. I sent a ticket and the wait time for the ticket was 45 days on the estimated time so I stopped playing till it was resolved since I couldn't play with my friends. Finally after 2 months they finally got back to the ticket that I placed and said there was nothing in my mailbox and there was no issues once so ever with it, I'm just assuming that it auto deleted itself after those 30 days till expiration time but by then I was over it and never touched classic again.

    It took over 2 months for them to get a response to their ticket, and all it was was the automated response about how they're not going to reverse it no matter what and they will not listen to anything they have to say on the matter.

Then got a 10 day suspension and a forced name change 2 days after wotlk launch because I was trying to look for an Utgarde Keep group in Howling Fjords general chat. The 10 days was bad enough. but I tried to fight the name change, and blizzard said I was harassing other players with my name. And since it was an RP realm (grobbulus), blizzard wasn't going to overturn the namechange because my name wasn't "RP related", and apparently I was "lucky enough to avoid a longer suspension."
