I do believe you missed my point. I am well aware that some people are going to be assholes and I know the risk involved in accepting requests. I do not care if someone is salty and bitchy, by all means be a lil bitch and let me taste the salt of your tears as you cry "rng, wah wah" and then run off. I can take it, but when people say they hope your family dies of cancer and perhaps you just lost a loved one to cancer that is not okay. If you get enough reports of hit'n'run bitchyness then you should not be able to have the privilige of adding friends for a while. If you're a repeat offender the punishment will be longer for each time. It's a fair punishment I would believe.
Some people do terrible things in real life without being caught, and are you really asking for "justice" because some random dumbass told you something like that through the Battle.net chat? Please dude, grow up.
Hey man that's the special snowflake "muh feelings" generation we live in. Sadly.
From time to time (very rarely though) I will add someone I just played against if I thought it was a fun match or I quite enjoyed their deck etc. I've made some good friends from that, people I talk to from time to time and had some good discussions with. I've accepted most people who added me, thinking they had the same good intentions as I did, only to have them curse at me being all salty and shit. But I will still accept those who add me in the hope they are decent people who just enjoy the game. In conclusion; there should be some system of reporting people who just spew shit at you and then delete you before you can even give a reply. Maybe they could be prevented from adding new friends for a couple of hours, then a couple of days, and so on.
You seem decent. What server are you playing?
Since when being immature means being decent? He is crying because some random people told him some stupid shit in a chat, people that he can remove whenever he wants with just some clicks of his mouse.
Yeah, I absolutely agree with your position. However, as I think everyone can clearly see, the social aspect of this game suffers a lot due to the dick heads. I don't like being insulted for the most irrelevant reasons imaginable, but I can handle it fine. What I can't do anything about is that the way this system is set up, you can't make friends or at least have a decent conversation with other nice guys BECAUSE everyone is tired of accepting a friend and being insulted for stupid reasons, even if you don't care about it, why bother? You know?
I would advocate for some change on how we get to interact with our opponents. Emotes are so fucking dull, you can't even try to be nice with them because it could sound ironic, resulting in your opponent roping every turn to punish you. It's just completely stupid.
Yeah, I'd probably like a way to tell blizzard about certain people. Not because I'm all that upset about the comments people have made to me. I usually find them pretty sad and sometimes funny. I had one guy tell me I was japanese, not sure why that was supposed to be a bad thing, but still. I also had one guy tell me I was going to have a 1-3 arena run after just barely beating him and I ended up 6-3.
My issue is I like accepting people's friend requests, I've had good conversations with a couple of them. Like somebody said before earlier in this thread, I think it hurts the in-game community. I believe it makes people less likely to add friends and to accept people as friends.
I believe there is a way to report people, but it's in the battle.net launcher and you have to still be friends with them, which doesn't happen very often.
I've said it before but a much better system would be to have a report option in Hearthstone chat itself, since the chat window sticks around after they unfriend you. Just hit the report button and the chat log gets sent to Blizz, easy peasy.
If I lose to ridiculous RNG, I yell (fucking loud) and get over it eventually. If I lose to straight up better skill, I will friend request them after giving them a Well Played. If they accept, I say Good Game, maybe an honest outlook on how I lost or something awesome they did. If they don't, I move on. My friend tells me to not accept friend requests after I win until an hour or two later, but if I can let the opponent spread their butthurt, it kind of amuses me. I know that I am legitimately better than them just because of their attitude towards this game and how they treat a random individual just because they lost, regardless of how. Accept at your own risk, is my philosophy. I will always add people I lost to fairly just to congratulate them. That's my point of view.
90% of the time you know when "XXX has just sent you a friend request" is coming from a rager or not. Just ignore those ones. It's sad though after a really good game when you send a friend request and they don't accept because they presume you will just abuse them. Have met lots of cool players by friending after an epic game.

The option is no longer available. I guess they just don't want to try to handle it, because it used to be hard to report, you know, having to do it on the battle net client... people playing on Ipads and such couldn't even do it. Now the option is gone completely.
I think it's bullshit, this allows for people to be utter dicks, and never get punished for it. I'm not too keen on thought policing or attacking free speech, but I wish at least I had a way to be an asshole back to them, as I would in RL. Instead I get unfriended and poof, nothing can be done.

THe game is designed so that Blizzard doesn't have to deal with it. By default the only thing anyone can say to you are a few preset lines from Blizzard. You can do the rest for yourself. Don't want to take the risk, don't add people (and it doesn't matter who initiated it, you pushed the button to add them). If they start saying stuff, remove them.
In other Blizzard games chat defaults to on and there are social channels, they get more enforcement for that reason.
I think it's sad you want to report someone for calling you a name. Grow up and grow a pair and stop QQ ing.
Oh sure let's just all be jerks to each other, what a great idea. I mean I feel like a simple report feature isn't uncommon or an unreasonable request, hell it's super easy to report people in other games for all kinds of things. Harassment, bad language, etc. You could automate the whole damn process. Hit report button and a chat log gets sent to Blizzard, someone get's reported by too many different people in a short enough period of time flag someone to investigate the logs and have some kind of standard punishment once the reports have been validated as legit. I personally have no problem with having consequences for acting like an ass, even a slap on the wrist is better than them just ignoring a toxic player base like they are now.
I had a game recently where I won, and my opponent added me after. He accosted me for having good RNG (he ran his Grommash into my Sylvannas and lost it in a 1-in-3 chance. His move, not mine. Salty much?). Anyway, he then said "I hope you get hate targeted by Trump" or something to that effect. Funny as it may be, that stuff is harmful, and I don't think it should be condoned in our community. The reporting harassment page on Battle.net seems to be open for every Blizzard game except Hearthstone. Is this because I had to add my opponent to my friends list and I can just remove him afterward? I see how that solves the short term issue, but that doesn't make harassment okay.

I am not surprised you would chose Trump and Ramsay for your banner. Based on the amounts of posts you got you do strike me as a fella who quite enjoy bickering on the ye, ol' interwebs. Have a good day, sir
Well, you are wrong. I have never been really active on the internet, except here, and I'm on Hearthpwn mostly to help others, just because many people in this forum are really passionate about Hearthstone like me. The more people enjoying and playing this game the better, since that means Blizzard will continue supporting it for many years. And yeah, I really like Ramsay and Donald Trump, but that is not your business, I'm free to have anything I want on my signature as long as I don't put something there that goes against the forum rules.
You my friend are the toxic a hole we are talking about, just know that all your cussed had 0 effect, you got mad, and knowing that makes me happy.
I love your salty tears, you cuss = me happy
Thank you for that, I win
I can't believe all the whining about this stuff. Didn't any of you play warcraft3 ladder?!
Dude friended me to rant about my BS deck and call me inspiring nicknames based on genitalia.
I told him where he lost the game and how easily he could have won, these days we're friends and regularly Skype.
There you go, it ain't Twilight - but it'll do.
I don't mind if you a cuss at me, but for the love of non binary zin God, use the right pronouns

LOL, this colture!!!

Typical. More whining and crying about people's feel-bads. If someone rages on you, tell them to f'off and move on. Easy.
