Just your normal everyday scare tactic to try to get someone to look the other way when digging around looking for bad apples.

I've seen this happen to many times in mmos, its not Anet job to police anything other then people scamming or hacking thats it, griefing, trolling, being kicked out of raids hurt feelings is not for the company to regulate you cannot fix player attitudes, all they can do is make the game and hope people play in ways friendly to other players.

Aaaaannnnnndddd. That was in late..

Its basically this, the vast majority of the playerbase does not look at the game from an objective lens because they are the player and not the creator, also the range of Intelligence of the people who play is quite wide as well, devs should pay attention to the community but never outright listen to them because 8/10 its likely the wrong opinion.

 

I find that the games that pander to the fans instead of completing there vision for the game tend to fail, the devs need to maintain the game integrity at all cost because the players do not have the games interests in mind they have there own interests and there own feelings in mind take a look at the pvp forums and the screams for nerfs that aren't needed.

play alot seen it done about three times'ish (across 5 years) where someone has done it over hours/days, it must be pretty boring even if you are fuming.

player tombstoning every night! nice to see anet taking a 'high view' on this and offering to look at cases if people are really bothered, can't fault it.

In response to your question, the behaviors listed both in the OP and yours are unrelated.

 

Someone else entirely threw in the siege burials which was never listed as a problematic behavior.

Team chat trolls can be blocked, people sabotaging my server (BG) is actually funny, people siege burying me is a complement. The only thing I think people have some gripe about is people throwing siege down constantly on a commanders build sites. And I define constantly as hours... not 20-30 minutes. But even then, map hop. Kick him from squad and communicate that way in squad chat.

 

So... I should look to gank you when your doing dailies? :#

Alrite thanks for clarifying ,tip of the hat to you guys i've worked on a few games myself and can appreciate the hard work that most players think goes ignored.

 

Boy i cant remember where the outdated system i mentioned was in.

 

Papa Evon bless.

I don't see this is a prob for the forms this is the sort of thing that should be put on a Report ticket not to be posted here in order to get attention for your drama. this is the if you are serious about your problem Right-click the person who is the problem and Report. there is no need to waste devs time and players time with some nonproductive personal ignorance . its simple to file a ticket .

Very helpful; thanks for replying so quickly.

It's not about people's feelings. The OP's example was someone who was reported to be spending literal hours doing things to waste siege, affecting the ability of commanders to implement their strategies. That's "griefing", i.e. going out of one's way to prevent other people from playing the game legit.

If you're going to quote me, please have the courtesy to get the context and quote correct, especially since these forums make it trivial to get quotes and context. I have said nothing close to what you have claimed.

 

 

Ganking is a legit way of getting kills: if you're better than average, you can wait at the WvW dailies that attract PvE players and get in your daily kills or build up participation credit. It's clever play, well within the rules, even if it's a bit meanspirited. There's no "right to claim a shrine," especially since allowing your opponents to do so gives their side points.

 

In contrast, dropping the wrong siege on a gate prevents people _on your own side_ from progressing.

Yep and I am not sure if either of us mentioned banning, I know I said actionable offence but that can be anything from a lock out to a polite ANet person appearing next to you saying, please stop. I know one of my friends who was farming toxic spores while playing his XBox spontaneously moved 2000 range for no reason and he just moved himself back before asking in chat what happened. Was an invis dev testing someone was there lol, lots of ways to sort things out, sometimes just knowing you’re being watched is enough to deter many players from actively trolling.

What I don't understand is why the Report System didn't include an option for Griefing reports. It should be added, if not since the beginning, inmediately. Every MMO gets trolls and griefers, and they can be reported prolly, but Arenanet didn't, and this is a problem since time ago.

 

It's mandatory to do something about this problem asap.

Are you being serious when saying this? So you're suggesting that a player who wastes almost 800 supplies in a keep for useless siege until emptying it, and throwing fake siege for avoiding people to build the right now ISN'T something malicious?

 

Now I see why World versus World is buried in the well.

It probably makes little difference which pull down we use to /report. If you use "verbal abuse," they are also going to double check the character name etc, because they know that people don't always choose the most apt option. I think it would be better to have a shorter list and include a text field as part of the report.

I've handed out a few actions, but I'm not entirely sure I would classify this as a serious issue from an individual player trolling perspective. I would ask that WvW players to continue to report players they believe are behaving maliciously and push comes to shove, you can PM me on the forums or report to exploits@arena.net.

 

I'm just curious. The Player Conduct Reports reads as such:

Choose a reason to report: Name.1234

* Botting

* Inappropriate Character Name

* Spamming

* Verbal Abuse

* Scamming

* Selling Gold

* LFG System Abuse

 

What option would you select in a case like this?

Botting. Goes to the same people that investigate griefing.
