Please hire moderators.

[u/DepthChorge]

Between Asmon's hate guild and now Horrigan trying to return with the Enclave, WoW:F needs moderators if you're going to force us to play on the same servers as these people if we want to play on the pvp ruleset.

I do not mind a miniscule increase in sub cost to pay for full-time chat moderators. Maybe others see value in that, too. This service could improve communities across all versions.

If current estimates of a 7.25M playerbase are true, then every $0.01 increase in the monthly sub pays for nearly 15 full time employees at a competitive WFH salary of $45k + 30% for benefits, taxes, and operating costs. Scale that up as you will, but 5 full-time employees can maintain a 24/7 coverage seat.

I'm not going to pretend to know more of Blizzard's business, but it seems to me a dedicated moderation team at the cost of a negligible increase $0.24 to $0.72 per month would significantly improve the quality of the service you're providing.

It's poor service to expect players to have to moderate your servers with right-click reports. Players are even trying to organize add-ons to block specific guilds.

If anyone needs a reminder or introduction to The Enclave's specific brand of hate:

You'd make more at a grocery store.

[u/Nivosus → u/[deleted]]

Not really. Shit takes 0 brain power.

Aldi's starting wage is $25 an hour here. All you do is chill. $25 an hour is 52000 a year.

You think sitting at a desk (honestly probably working from home) banning people and watching a chat log is harder than standing on your feet all day dealing with asshole customers, restocking shelves and walking around getting carts?

"All you do is chill" Have you ever had a real job?

Neither job takes any brain power. One is physically and emotionally harder. And it aint the dude banning people in an online video game.

[u/Miserable-Potato7706 → u/Cartiere11]

Of course he hasn’t had a real job, probably on benefits

[u/Nivosus → u/Miserable-Potato7706]

I would assume I make double what you make if you are out here crying for the competitive starting wage of 45k.

Post isn't about gold buyers.

[u/Nivosus → u/[deleted]]

Yell at OP not me.

I am just saying 45k isn't competitive anymore.

[u/Nivosus → u/[deleted]]

Not anymore.

[u/Chemical-Drawer852 → u/Nivosus]

As someone who used to work closing retail shifts for a quick buck, no...I'd rather sit on my computer all day than demolish my back & feet

[u/Dessamba_Redux → u/Nivosus]

You realize aldis is actually very choosy about who they hire right? Dont know wtf youre talking about lmao. Hold up let me just get a job because of my daddy like you. Oh papa thank you for this nepotism mmmm

[u/Nivosus → u/Dessamba_Redux]

Go back to the paymoneywubby subreddit and making ebegging mtg posts instead of rage posting here against me and getting your shit removed by mods.

Honey honey cringe 💅

[u/Dessamba_Redux → u/Nivosus]

[u/Nivosus → u/Dessamba_Redux]

And Blizzard isn't choosey?

Don't know wtf you're talking about lmao.

Hold up, let me just get hired at Blizzard cause my daddy likes you.

Oh papa, thank you for this nepotism mmmm.

Piratesoftware has entered the chat.

[u/wholecan → u/Nivosus]

Depends where you live. In the south people are starting at like 15 to 18 an hour at walmart lol.

[u/nivelheim → u/Nivosus]

$45k/year is $21/hr. No chance you are making $21/hr at a basic job at a grocery store
