Blizzard recently announced a "new" system called the Silence Penalty.
The forums seem to be up-in-arms about it, but what is entertaining to me is that nothing has changed.
The "violations" as players are the same.
The reporting system is the same.
The only thing that is changing is the type of penalty. Instead of a verbal and then ban, players will be unable to talk in public channels or through other interfaces that might communicate to strangers.
I know the vloggers and bloggers love to hate on Blizzard, but this really is not a big deal.
No more reports are going out than before, unless more people report.
No more punishments are going out than before, unless more people report.
Blizzard's system has always been a reactive one. If players don't report, nothing happens.
What do you think?
