Guild Wars 2

Griefing in WvW. It’s nothing new and we’ve all seen it. And when it’s just words, it’s easy enough to ignore/block the player(s) and move on, or if it devolves into harassment, report the player(s) and again, move on.

But what to do when a player takes it to the next level, such as destroying golems, dropping numerous pieces of siege and wasting valuable supply to build that siege? I realize those players can again be reported for harassment, but unless those players are immediately dealt with and suspended/banned, by the time punishment is handed out they’ve already done all the damage they intended, especially if they transferred from another server for the sole purpose of griefing during the week’s match. However, what I’ve encountered recently is players from other servers creating new accounts for the sole purpose of griefing, thus avoiding any risk to their main account.

My suggestion is to block ALL new players to the game from WvW for a period of 1-2 weeks. Although during the Season 1 of WvW the schedule is announced beforehand, once the Season ends, randomized matches will resume. This would prevent players from creating new accounts on the servers they’re up against from coming out to WvW and griefing during that matchup.

Require a ‘drivers-license’ for the gollem, say, 5 ranks spend on any bonus.

wvw needs a tutorial for newcommers so they know what to do and what not to. furthermore dropping siege should not be allowed by players rank X and below. same for riding gollems like frans said. also rank X and below should not be able to take suply from anything but suply camps.

I’d be fine with that as long as it is judging Rank X as your account Rank total or your Highest character rank. That way it just limits the beginners not those who like to switch to level different alts or those who created a new character, ect

yeah i know wvw rank should be acc bound. wvw is kinda alt unfriendly

Well I don’t necessarily mind the fact that rank isn’t account bound. I just don’t want another alt-unfriendly thing added to WvW. Obviously if I have a lvl 40 Rank and a couple lvl 10 rank I should know enough that I can pick up my supply anywhere or play with the golems even on an alt that I just started playing in WvW with.
