New silencing system in wow - problems

[Wubsie]

Definitely not good news.

I've already seen conversation turn in to how multiboxers will naturally abuse the system and used as a argument against multiboxing as a whole. It seems that the handful with large enough groups to even make such abuse possible and the reputations they carry again have a negative affect on everyone. While it of course is a problem that it is possible for someone with enough toons to simply choose who will get silenced as long as the system remains this way, it is sad that we're all being lumped in to the same category as ones who would abuse the mechanics, when I would assume just about everyone has no intention of ever doing so, nor even possess the capability to do so.

It is worth mentioning that it is likely that some of us will receive just as unjust silences simply for our chosen playstyle as well. While I am not too worried about it personally (as one can still talk to B-tag friends, which is like 99% of the ingame chatting I do), I do not wish unjustified infractions on my accounts. Seems like the only way to be sure would be to refrain from conversing in any non-private chat, in practise "silencing" yourself.

I'm hoping the system is revamped quickly, or in an unlikely but welcome outcome completely withdrawn from the game. It's a pandering, unnecessary system that is far too easily exploited in it's current form.

This is what worried me too.. it's more likely that people will report us boxers than the other way around.
