WotLK Reporting someone for NINJA

[Neozera]

Hi,

Just out of curiosity, if you report someone for ninja in dungeon or raid, if the person is punished, do you get the item that was intended for you back?
It happened recently to a friend of mine and he was curious.

No, all you get is "we will look into it, thank you" reply, the end.

[Neozera]

And does the guy that Ninja them item get the item or do they remove it?

[shhnedo]

Speculation is that the item is removed.

[Neozera]

I mean, if they do not remove it from the person, people may feel encouraged to do on big items.
i think it should be removed for sure.

My impression of it is -

They cant just delete the item. Can't delete the item when ban is served in case it's appealed. Cant delete the item even after that, because players can appeal and regain "in good standing" status after ban is served in full.

So when should the item be deleted?

People feel "encouraged" to ninja items regardless. I've seen the dumbest **** since 2018 and it just keeps on going. My guy literally doesn't care he won't play for the next 60+ days and will not be able to collect Points, as long as he gets that one bunch of pixels. Naa bro, it's not like you can just reserve an item(which is acceptable these days), it's not like you can donate for it(too expensive for the same people who tell you to get a life/job), IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SELL GOLD FOR COINS... like literally so many people going full ape mode and making such a massive effort just to steal an item.

To me it doesn't matter whether they keep the item or not. Every time they get caught, the punishment gets longer. So even if they keep coming back to steal, you rarely see them because they have to take this gigantic break from the game. Multiple accounts you say? They can only really have so many, they aren't infinite.

Just report and move on. No reason to waste yourself on, again, pixels.

Yeah, no the gear in question is not removed, nope. So situational, limited dis-incentive.
