Guild Wars 2

Looks like my criticism was too negative and the ‘Forum Moderator’ didn’t like it to his preferences, so let’s go through this again.

1. Wrote ‘LFG’ messages 3 times in a row, with at least 20-30 seconds in between them.
2. Chat suppression system muted me for over 20 minutes on my fourth attempt, leaving me to ‘enjoy’ my time ‘playing’ this game, while being completely unable to find a new group for the time being.
3. Logged out, only to return in half an hour and discover that my suppression is still active. And I can’t stress this enough: I wrote no more than 3 messages in a row, none of which were written one after another in a spam/flood manner. That’s the reason I was unable to interact with neither public, nor map chat for more than 20 minutes.

How is this fair? I have no idea, I really don’t . How is this system working properly? It isn’t. I’ve discussed this problem with fellow players and guildmates, and of course – all of them have been through it at least a few times. All of them told me that they deal with it by just waiting it out.

Now, can someone explain to me how is this process justified? What does constitute spam in Anet’s dictionary? Looking for group is obviously one of those things.

The game literally forced me to outsource my desire to find a group (to play GW2) towards websites like gw2lfg. This is how it is. Write your LFG more than 3 times in between a minute or two, and eat this stick of mute for 20+ minutes, because somehow as a player who spent ~4k hours on GW and is on his way to 1k hours in GW2 – this is what you had coming to you.

So this is my suggestion: Fix the chat suppression system, or provide us with some kind of dependable LFG system which can be found INGAME, not on websites. You know, as mmos from 10 years ago have it.

Hope this thread is bright sugary enough not to get deleted again.
