Hi everyone. I’m posting this on a throwaway because my community will come after me for this. Hopefully I’m not breaking any rules. I’ve made a post on the main forums in the battlegrounds section. Due to the current climate of those forums I expect it will be mass reported by people who do not want what I have to say getting spread.
In epic battlegrounds and random battlegrounds, my community leader has created two addons. One public and one hidden that works with the public addon. We use these addons to queue dodge repeatedly until he gets the very best conditions. The addons use playerid’s and community information to track any players, groups or communities who might give us a challenge in game. The side effect of this is it creates massive holes in the games we’ve dodged leaving an extremely lopsided battlefield with one side never really getting back to full strength long after the game has started. We are griefing 100’s of players each time we queue and he’s planning to make the addons “better” which will make the queue dodging worse. How are we any different than the players who were bricking mythic keys and banned for it?
Here is the body of my post https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/attn-all-battleground-players/2039983
edited out any possible callouts
My biggest issue is the queue dodging using a hidden addon. I thought it would get better over time but the opposite is true. I started asking myself how many games are we ruining to get the best outcome. Keeping track of that and talking to friends in other communities to corroborate what was going on.
The reasons we’ve been told for dropping queues are just an excuse. It’s about avoiding risk at all costs.
There are plans to extend the abilities of the addons being used to spy and queue dodge. I’ve put together some information and linked it here so you can maybe understand better how bad this is. Please report these addons to Blizzard. Make them aware.
