Guild Wars 2

If you need a guild ppl to run with feel free to message me in game

I only ever see love and friendship most of the time in chat. :o If someone starts harassing you in whispers just block him. 4 people fighting a warrior who stays 90% actually is BS, but normal~ try to abuse poison and other condi on them to reduce the healing.

And I already feel like I’m playing a MMO by myself because the community is so toxic that I’ve literally made it a point not to speak to anybody unless in a combat situation ,or asked something in the first place.

Make a comment about the HoT subject: People cussed me for hours in map chat, followed me from area to area, whispered me until I had to resort to blocking people.

Made a comment that 4 people fighting one warrior and never dropping him below 90% hp was kind of BS: Cussed, called a “kittentard” for hours on end, followed around, left PVP lobby and the whispers are STILL going on (Been about 30 minutes). This was after I made a point to say that I am INDEED new to the game and that it was entirely from a new player standpoint. (My GW2 Icon is flashing up a STORM right now from whispers.)

I’m honestly considering just muting everything but the system chat and taking solace that the game’s damage numbers won’t threaten my life, threaten to molest my children (Not that I have any) or spew constant vulgar insults at me.

Does anybody else feel like this? I feel like I might as well not even have bought the game. The reason you play an MMO is to meet new people and enjoy yourself. I feel like I’m tiptoeing around because no matter what I do, the entire map is just WAITING to blow up and just crap on anybody who dares speak.

Now, don’t get me wrong. If somebody is low enough to go around cussing somebody, trashing them and trying to make a scene, I’m not going to take that person seriously. The problem is that I CANT SEEM TO FIND ANYBODY ELSE WHO IS -WORTH- PLAYING WITH.

Level 17, human and the quest areas are empty. I think I maybe see…10 people a day?

I thought mega-servers meant all those “full” servers would be sharing some people to play with…

Not sure if serious.

So you decide to:

A.) address the just about most toxic current topic in map chat and are amazed people are trying to lynch you?

B.) make comments about class balance when you clearly have absolutely no experience with the game and or it’s classes and you’re amazed people are annoyed at your remarks?

Know the proverb:“What goes around, comes around.”?

Your problem seems to be one of attitude. Have you ever considered that others view you as NOT-WORTH-PLAYING WITH? In general the consensus is that if you remain polite and respectful towards others, you’ll get greeted and supported. Then again, start of with the vocabulary you used and weighing in on discussion you should have stayed clear or, results may vary.

I don’t quite agree with this. Players should not belittle other players simply because they discuss a topic they are new at. Every player has the right to form and express their own opinion about the game, cuz well… they paid for it. Telling someone they have no business talking about an aspect of the game simply cuz they are new is IMHO shortsighted and ludicrous. And you are quite welcome to have the opposing opinion of this, but that in no way endears you with the definitive answer, sole authority or deny others the ability to discuss the issue.

just my 2 cents of course.

People like to claim this community is friendly and the most welcoming.
It’s not.
At launch, this was true.
During GW1, this was true.
Now?

It’s filled with toxic cliquey players that hate when anyone disagrees with them.
Pretty sad.

if you experience someone harrassing you, turn it around and start trolling them with brainless game change suggestions. then laugh about their madness. … profit.

Well congrats, you touched on the two most hostile places in the whole game – PVP and HoT discussion. I’d 100% suggest you not judge the entire community based on that – HoT is a temporary deal and PVP is always going to be toxic as Scarlet’s silly alliance.

this is true. HoT discussion has been and will probably – to a lesser extent – continue to be so for a while. I wish there was something we could do about it, but people on both sides get waaay too worked up about it.

PvP is a competitive game mode (last time I checked) and so I would expect it to be incredibly toxic – almost all competitive games are.

I’d suggest going to a city, talking to some folk, maybe doing a few relaxed dungeons. if you give it time, you’ll find that many of the PvE players, at least, can be pretty nice folk. (excluding the more elitist dungeon run groups)

it’s sad to hear you’ve had a bad experience this far, but I can say than in my experience, those toxic players don’t represent the game as a whole.

I haven’t read through every single post, but as a few other people have said; I find it very strange that so many people are basically harassing you if you aren’t doing something to tick them off, I’ve played since the 3 day head start before launch and I haven’t had a single episode like the ones you talk about.
