Main account keeps getting banned and Customer Support won't do anything about it
Given the current state of CS, it looks like going public is the only way to get actual attention so here I am.
First, a bit of background. You might know me as Norrinir, the admin of the mage discord, a mage theorycrafter and a simc developer. I've been playing the game for nearly 20 years and been involved in the community for little less than half of that.
In July, Blizzard permanently closed my main account because I'd apparently been using "hacks". I didn't have any objectionable software on my computer, so I assumed Warden falsely flagged something benign and appealed. It took nearly two weeks to get a response, where they claimed they'd done a thorough investigation, upheld the decision and reduced it to an 18 month suspension. I figured that was the end of it, so I let my friends know that I won't be playing anymore. One of them took matters into his own hands and pinged everyone in the mage discord. Some people came forward and offered to pass the issue to Blizzard. In less than a day, I received an apology and my account was reinstated.
Fast forward to last week when my main account gets closed again. Same reason as before. Now, you can't just keep pinging everyone in a class discord -- last time it happened the server was literally unusable for a day and besides, I made sure that moderators can no longer ping everyone. If CS doesn't fix it on their end, it will just keep happening, so I opened an appeal.
After a week they got back to me, gave me a very generic response that they'd done a thorough investigation and the decision stands (where have I heard it before). They didn't even bother addressing the points I brought up in the appeal. Clearly it makes sense that you spend two weeks of July fighting to get the action overturned and when it is, you resub, preorder Midnight and then... start cheating?
As I said back in July, it's especially funny because if I wanted to cheat, I could have just sat on all of the game-breaking bugs that I'd found and reported over the years. Anyways, it's pretty wild that the one thing that gets me to stop playing WoW after 20 years is an overzealous anti-cheat and an incompetent Customer Support.
I wouldn't wish the current CS experience on anyone. You submit an appeal, wait time is 5 days. Then you get a "helpful" bot reply in a day or two (in my case, that consisted of the bot simply linking Terms of Service to me), which closes the appeal. But worry not, you can reopen and start the 5 day wait time again. When someone gets to you, you can't help but feel like you got an LLM response -- or, at best, a canned response -- that doesn't actually answer what you wrote in your ticket. In case someone from CS wants to take a look, here are the relevant tickets: EU101565559, EU101575174, EU101573231, EU101625608.
edit: I also forgot to mention that I received some DMs on Discord from people that are dealing with essentially the same issue (and there were also other reddit threads, e.g. here) and while I can't vouch for them, it seems that I'm not the only person dealing with wrongful account termination.

I Have Done 150 Free +40 Mythic Dungeon Carries, And A Daily Mythic ToV Carry
I realized after a certain point I was able to solo +40s on my way to 999 vers. For a while I was simply doing the dungeon alone and I figured why not just bring 4 randoms. At first I would bring anyone because I wasn't really thinking about giving out the xmog/title until I noticed how many people would sign up and be super thankful for the carry.
So I started spamming my 40 key in lfg with "+40 Free Carry." Once it's done I bring the key back to 40 and start again. It's refreshing to just simply be in an environment where other players are so positive and honestly kind of funny (people crack the funniest jokes when they're just laying on the floor the moment anything touches them). I actually made a couple friends I could see myself playing with in retail.
Mythic Trial of Valor all I need is a player to help separate the two starting bosses and it's gg. I haven't found a definitive method to ensure all 19 carries stay alive for helya, those exploding slimes seem to be raid wide damage. After a mythic raid world tour, I have people who need the achievement roll 100 take the four winners through a +40.
Even at max vers I will continue to spam carry keys. To me it's more than worth it just from the sheer positive environment. I go to do a +12 in retail and a single mistake everyone's just at each other's throats. It's nice to just chill, and apparently stick it to the sellers lol.

While the servers are down guess i'll ask the question. Who do you want as the 'final boss' of the last titan? Realized we have quite the selection of characters to choose from.

I Love Lemix... However
My god has it fostered the most impatient motherfuckers in the community. Two fights are where it shines the most. Ilgynoth, if there is a Player stuck outside the arena when the fight starts, there is a non-zero chance a blob gets fixated on them, crawls out and resets the fight. So just wait for the whole group to get there. Waiting 10 seconds can save you a minute of wasted time.
The same goes for Elisande. If you start the fight while some folks are stuck down in the lower section of the spire, there is a high chance the fight will reset. I was in a run earlier, this very thing happened and when I pointed out that we should be patient and wait for the whole group... I got kicked for my troubles. No one playing this game has anything so important on that they can't wait 30 seconds for folks to catch up.

8 out of 12 class mount questlines are bugged and unable to be completed in Legion Remix
One of my goals for Legion Remix was to collect all the original class mounts, and get the FoS to finish all the Order Hall campaigns. I've had all my alts leveled and ready to go through the last part now that phase 3 is live, should be easy enough... right?
Turns out, most of them have some some sort of bug that keeps you from completing them, with either NPCs not showing up, being unable to join their scenario instances, or being kicked back to Dalaran for leaving the timeline.
Out of all 12 classes, I was only able to complete druid, priest, demon hunter, and hunter. Blizzard's quality control has been horrible for a good while now, but this is a whole new level of zero fucks given. I'm dreading to see what the Midnight launch will be like.

Blizzard needs to apply the Kevin Bacon rule.
I believe fraudulent mass reports are a real thing. I also believe there's an easy way to mitigate many of them.
When Player X reports Player Y, Blizz runs a check:
Has X chatted or traded with Y in the past <whatever timeframe>?
Have X and Y been in the same dungeon/ delve/ raid?
Have X and Y been in the same public area at the same time?
If X and Y were in the same public area at the same time, did Y post anything in a public channel?
If none of these answers are Yes, one can safely assume these two players have had no interactions, and the report is ignored. You can even take it a step further and flag that as a fraudulent report and take action against vexatious litigants like in the real world.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Voting leaver system is a thing ...
Just playing remix, I'm healing. Group is slow, so I start pulling ... I can solo ... tank can solo ... DPS clearly less geared ... maybe queuing together? Get through the whole dungeon just like every other Remix Dungeon. Yes, I am actually healing the squishy DPS. No one dies.
I get kicked on the last boss. No words said by anyone the whole dungeon. My big crime was I guess not waiting for the tank to pull in a Remix dungeon?
All that is fine, annoying but fine, but then there is a 30 minute leaver penalty? I didn't leave. They could have all left and I would have finished the dungeon alone. Sour enough taste in my mouth to come write this post.
I know no one cares. I've seen similar posts complaining about the system and I didn't care. So yeah, I'm just writing to give feedback on a negative interaction with the game systems. GLHF.

Mythic Kil'jaeden still requires doing mechanics in Remix
He transitions at a fixed percentage and becomes immune for the ball phase, which can't be skipped even with 999 Vers DPS. And then you have the dark phase, which, lol.
The final phase after the dark phase is trivial, however.

What if the summoning portal didn't require a second click?
So when the portal is placed and if someone else is standing next to it, they don't need to click the portal above you. Just them standing there makes you able to summon people like always. I think this is a good idea and I don't understand why the devs make summoning so tedious.
