A warning from a complete stranger (more like a rude threat) to change my hunter pets name or they would report me for breaking name policies and get me banned. The pet is the pink moa bird I named "Floyd". (Yes pun intended.) Haven't really dared use the name anymore just to be sure, which is a pity. Maybe Floyd is a dirty word in another language? At which point, I don't think ANet would action you for it. Also, it's kitten near impossible to report a pet name. It's pretty much a screenshot and support ticket. There ought to be a better system for reporting actual violations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There ought to be a better system for reporting actual violations. I think it's aimed at the (pun intended by me) name of real live band "Pink Floyd" and the rules state you can't use trademarked names, names of real celebrities. So i think Floyd on his own would be fine, but if you get the pun, it technically breaks the rules i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Even if ArenaNet got the pun, and I'm sure they would if they looked, they would not action the account. Only if the patent-holders of 'Pink Floyd' complained, which I can't imagine would ever happen. If so, ArenaNet would just ask you to change the name.

Besides, I'd be more worried about the person looking for references like that just so they can report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm assuming the pet in question problably only had a dumb name? I don't pay attention to what people say about my pet names. I'm not intentionally offensive. I try to use puns as much as possible; "Megan" Fox, "Missing" Lynx, "That's so" Raven, "Jump the" Shark, and so on. I have seen a thread regarding how to turn in a person for an offensive pet name.

Danikat.8537 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 That reminds me of another one. When people see my pet raven's name: "You know the raven in the poem isn't actually called quoth". To which I always say "Yeah but the one in Discworld is". Some people accept that, some try and tell me that means Terry Pratchett didn't understand the poem (he did, the character did not) and some actually tell me they've never heard of Discworld, in which case I tell them I'm sorry to hear that.

There ought to be a better system for reporting actual violations. Thats correct, also may add if the name is banned for players it will also be banned for pets. So I say go back to using Floyd .

The first variant is alot less common. From a WvW perspective the last one is almost always true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zagerus.8675 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Back in 2012 when the gold farmers were rampant in Orr I used to get those bundle fireworks and drop a whole stack on the bots. After about 20 minutes I got a response from one of the farmers begging me to stop, adding that he was "a broke college student who just wanted some extra money for lunch." I quit bothering them but sure did miss seeing those 40+ beautiful fireworks going off all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I don't think any player is going to be doing very great when first entering a competitive game mode, no matter how skilled they are as an individual, as they need to get a feel for the competitive gamemode first, whether it's PVP or WvW. Of course some classes carry better than others. On topic: I recall someone being rather stubborn over the concept of level scaling. They claimed GW2 mobs do not scale, and that their red attributes meant that their gear was broken. When people tried to correct them, they kept on arguing.
