I would show you how many people wanted to be able to pug again, those in guilds and those not in guilds, but they deleted my thread after 4 pages.
And apparently I got banned for bumping my suggestion thread once every few hours. You are only allowed to bump it once every 24 hours or something, but nowhere in the rules does it say that.
Here was the reasoning:
"Reason: 1 week suspension from the World of Warcraft forums for spamming the forums. 11+ bumps in <24 hours on the same thread. This is a final warning. Further violations of Forum Guidelines could result in a loss of posting privileges."
Most of those bumps were me replying to people, and saying "Bump" and then adding onto why it was a good suggestion. One person even replied and said to me "You should bump this thread in a few hours when the Blizzard CMs get online so they can see it", and I said "I don't know, I'm afraid I might get banned for bumping the thread too much". So I kept bumping it every few hours for a whole day without anyone saying otherwise, and people replying and saying they agreed throughout the whole day. Then I come back the next day, my thread is deleted, and I'm banned for apparently an entire week.
And getting rid of shared lockouts will not only help people who pug, but people in guilds alike. I like my guild, but we are having serious trouble finding people to raid with because all we can do now to interact with our server community is just to either post on our realm forums, or advertise in trade chat. The new guild finder thing is surprisingly not that useful either. If we could run pug raids with people throughout the week, we could not only help out the new raiders in our guild learn the raids, but we could also find people to recruit and see how they perform.
