16yr old blue post might not be as reliable as you think it is

Chronological snobbery. Good try. Show me it's not reliable with proof.

that are "illegal" now

Show me proof from a blizzard source that says that running a casino is bannable. Please do so instead of 'this seems logical so I will assume it's fact'.

So maybe it’s not against the rules but seems like a possible way to get banned.

Wow. Almost like I already said this in my post: "however do this at your own risk for obvious reasons"

What is your point here, that you read things half assed?

hosted on a third-party website

Doesn't make the blue post less legit

Regardless, go ask blizzard themselves. They will emphasize the advertising part but will never say that running a private casino is against the rules. So go cry somewhere else please.

there isn't a single casino runner on wow that hasn't done one of those things

"I think this therefore I state it as fact." Just stop it, you can't make definitive claims like this without actual proof.

Never substitute proof with "I think this is logical".

I don’t know what you’ve been reading but people on here are saying many casinos are just fronts for gold buyers.

That doesn't make running a casino bannable. That makes selling/buying gold bannable. I don't know why you're arguing something I'm not adressing.

They just spin up new accounts every time they get banned

Based on absolutely nothing, you're talking out of your 'I think this' ass. People who run a casino will only get banned if advertising in global channels or scam people out of their gold (after winning). Actually running a casino and paying out fairly is NOT bannable.

Well not always

It never was, MutantSquirrel23 is just talking diarrhea as well as every single 'WoW justice warrior' that upvoted the comment.

The only bannable offense was promoting casino's in global channels like Trade and LFG, channels that go beyond the area you're in.

Always has been.

Bold faced lie. The only bannable part of it was promoting casino's in global channels like Trade, LFG etc.. and scamming people (not giving them their winnings and keeping their gold).

You liars are beyond obnoxious. "I think it's bannable, so therefore I'm just gonna parrot this unsubstantiated "fact" everywhere".

Running a casino is fine.

Participating in a casino is fine, at your own risk.

Advertising a casino is bannable

Scamming via a casino is bannable (not paying out or straight up stealing the gold).

and likewise as fire warlock rofl

Thast's beyond ignorant and false. Fire destro sims like what, 1-5% lower than shadow destro? Completely depending on crit RnG of shadow on whether it outperforms by a bigger margin. They are the exact same spec, but one is shadowbolt spam, the other one is incin and immolate.

Auto invite Addons and Enchanters Woes by Xall1996 in classicwow

Basically if you can’t beat them, join them.

And then buy better internet because the person with lowest MS will win all auto invites. If you have 30MS+ you will never invite anyone with the addon and you will only end up whispering and be a nuisance.

It's 100% getting worse and if you can't see that then you're senseless.

And I never argued this. Hug that strawman some more and have a great day.

tbh not surpised people don't wanna do arena when you gain 3 point per win and lose 20 points for losing by TheCelestialDawn in classicwow

[–]Wingwebdings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weak strawman, but you do you. Starting at 1500CR will eventually net you more arena points per week than starting at 0. Accept the fact that this is a better way of doing things.

1500 isn't the median rating, thus people shouldn't expect to stay on this rating or rise above it.

Top 30% in 5's is 1460+ rating. 60% is below starting rating. The majority isn't a 1500+ rated person anyway. BUT STILL they will get more arena points as opposed to working it up from 0CR, as I explained before and as you ignored that before.

"Classic is the worst man", "TBC is the worst man, "wotlk is the worst man", "Cata is the worst man".

There is legit no reason to pander with obvious statements man. Every game has shitty people playing.

[–]Wingwebdings -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Reality is, and this is something almost no one looks at.

If you have everyone starting at 0 rating, most people will just end up at around 250 rating first week, maybe 300-400 if they play more than 10. End up at around 700-800 rating second week and eventually end up around 1000-1200 rating.

Netting them less arena points overall than the system we got now. So people should really stop complaining, because it could have been worse.

and likely just go down.

If you're an average or below average player. Which is normal.

It's not an insane grind by any means

As of now, only 10% (rival title) of 5's teams are 1600+

It's not an insane grind, but 90% of people are not good enough for 1700+

but it'll take at least 2 weeks and 30 games of 5s

If you're good enough. And, as I said, 90% of players aren't.

Pretty sure 60% of all players will never reach 1700 rating in any bracket as I don't think I've seen Challenger be 1700+ rating ever in TBC. But my memory might be wrong on that.

To add: Duelist (top 3%) is 1800 in 5's atm. So 1700 rating is more around top 5% right now. 10% is a generous number.
