Guild Wars 2

So yesterday I was playing unranked spvp and the match I was in wasn’t going well. I didn’t want to play anymore so I left the match and the game (rage quit with less rage) and went on to do something else. Now today as I just logged in and I noticed I had recieved a mail with no subject from an angry player saying: “enjoy your report”.

As far as I know leaving a game isn’t something that’s reportable or against the ToS. It however is not a nice thing so it is punished with dishonor. I didn’t talk during the whole match and I didn’t start any arguments. I just left quietly.

I don’t like the idea of people reporting others under false pretext, like botting, scamming or verbal abuse, just out of spite (which I’m guessing is against the ToS). Does ArenaNet have a program in place for checking whether or not a report is true or not, or have they got employees looking in to these?

In general, I think I’m nice and polite to everyone and I might get one or two mails or whispers like this in a year, but you never know when people get angry. Especially in spvp.

The team in charge of handling reports investigates chat logs and the activity on the account being reported. So while many warrantless reports are made, it’s very rare that those reports will lead to a suspension or ban because all reports are looked into by a human being.

I’m pretty sure you can report that mail for threatening you.

Anyone can /report anyone for anything. ANet doesn’t act unless they find something that violates the TOS. It happens to be against the TOS to misuse the report tools, which means people who deliberately use reporting to try to punish or coerce others (perfectly fine to report if you aren’t sure — ANet pays people to investigate and be sure; you don’t have to).

tl;dr the OP has nothing to worry about.
