Hi, so for the past week I've been running scarlet monastery. It was going just fine till the new spam filter was introduced. I would use /who to build great class composition and my requests were always well received. Currently I can no longer rely on /who to form groups because after a dozen or so tells I get muted. Leaving me to rely on /world to find members for a party. I'm genuinely surprised how unsuccessful this is even on a server with 6k+ ppl. I generally sit in world for hours trying to find a group receiving 2-3 whispers over the course of that time. Even as a tank. I've followed Elysium on twitter saying they've resolved the issue and this is not the case. I still receive a mute after a dozen or so whispers for 2 hour duration. A hard price to pay for trying to form a group after trusting their counter measures have gone through. I could get a group off the ground in 20 minutes or less using /who. The players I whispered were genuinely happy to be requested single handily for a instance out of the blue and was well received as a pleasant surprise. And the players who were not interested have only sent me tells as such; "I would but I don't have the time," "no thank you," "negative," or no response and that was that. Now the time requirement of forming a group relying on /world is not worth the time investment compared to questing. As a tank I'm required to have better gear as I approach harder instances at the upper echelons of 50 and 60. I enjoy grinding for gear and enjoy being a tank that has favorable status of stalwartness to bring to a group. So unless this issue is resolved I guess questing is the only worthwhile option while leveling. Since waiting in /world and not having any measure beyond that to be proactive is not.

Blizzard has gone in a different direction under their new management, I personally don't consider them to be the blizzard that made wow as I know and love.

I will never go crawling back to blizzard for legacy. I don't want to support them or be dictated by them in any form or fashion. How anyone could want to go back to blizzard after everything they've put us through? Have we not learned our lesson yet? There's an old saying, don't cast your pearls before swine. Do we really need to get back on the blizzard bandwagon again until we remember who's steering the reigns. Blizzard will gentrify vanilla just like they have with everything else. It will T-bone the community and split them in two. Official blizzard legacy servers would be the worst thing that could happen to vanilla. I would only play official legacy servers if its right's of ownership was sold and in someone else's hands. I'm not gonna watch blizzard kill world of warcraft again. Blizzard, you're dead to me.

What delay?

I would also like to stress that even though this may appear as a bug I do not believe it was ever confirmed or denied. And if so, so what? During retail while seal twisting was active ret paladins remained the most underplayed spec that I'm aware of. So if we can give them any help they can get while remaining blizz like, it would bring great joy to allow me to not feel anymore gimped then I already am.

Hi, I'm playing this server cause I need to get my fix of TBC. While I'm now aware that elysium has moved away from being a progression server it is still my best chance of ever getting to see a blizz like burning crusade server. So I beg you to please maintain the blizz like experiance GMS by retaining seal twisting in BC. While considered a bug it did exist in BC on blizz realms. Giving non-holy paladins a small but noticeable advantage in their otherwise sub satisfactory state. I've tried seal twisting on other depreciated tbc servers to no avail. And again I'm aware TBC is but a spec on a distant horizon for Elysium. But I fell in love with this game as a paladin in BC. And if you could provide me this minute assurance that come time my experience will be blizz like. It make all the difference as I progress through vanilla. Thank you.

I pooped and then i died
