WoW patch adds quick reporting of troublemakers

Blizzard's latest World of Warcraft patch makes it easier for players to report abuse, submit bugs or offer suggestions in-game.

The new patch for World of Warcraft hit servers today with significant customer support interface changes, making it easier for you to report report that player with the offensive name or the one exploiting a safe spot in a Battlegrounds map.

The 4.3.4 patch changes the way players can report others. Previously a player's only recourse was use their friends list or to manually fill out a ticket when reporting another player. Now, players can right-click on an offender's portrait, or the name in chat, a click "report player." The new format also allows players to track who they have reported and for what offense.

The new customer support interface also allows a one-click option for reporting bugs and making suggestions in-game.

Unfortunately, there is still no recourse for players like myself who constantly die in PvP. Apparently, having insane PvP skill is not a reportable offense.

        true it will, but you act like blizzard doesn't investigate...log files, etc are there for a reason.

        Right, because abuse of the reporting tool is a habit that's free of any consequence.

        There is usually a reason but it's usually crap.

        While I've never been banned for any reason I've been reported more times than I can count for various trade chat comments.

      Submit abuse faster, it'll still only take 6 months to a year to get those bots banned in WSG
