I reported somebody on purpose ninja'ing an item thats heavy farmed "banner of victory", I included screenshot of the rolls and his stating in chat that he didnt care, and i could just report him.
I got a response back from the people running the server, stating that they dealt with the issue.
I checked armory and had him on my "friendslist". He never got a ban, nor was the item removed.
That tells me that the punishment on warmane is a joke, and as stated above, if you keep the item/s and just get a temp ban. Depending on the item, it might be worth it. And why we see so many dont care about getting reported.
Oddly enough same thing happened today, tank and healer (friends, same guild etc) needed on banner in toc 5n and didnt care. I have reported them of cause, but i suspect that the result will be like the previous.
If thats the case, i aint sure this is the server for me. Its already a semi toxic experience outside of guilds..
