Guild Wars 2

Because I do everytime I see a gold seller spamming and it usually averages around 5-10 times I get online.

I would think not, unless the reports you have been submitting came up false, they would probably just ignore your future reports.

Yes, Anet will ban you from reporting way too many people who are breaking the rules. How dare you… shame on you…

Seriously, dude?

Considering the stuff people have been banned for already, I think this is a valid question. ANet doesn’t believe in warnings, so I don’t see a problem with any player asking about anything, so they don’t log in to find themselves suspended for 3 days over something most think of as a stupid question …like abuse of the reporting system.

I would imagine if they did it would be for too many false reports, however, I agree it’s more likely they just ignore that players future reports.

Actually I have read the Reporting rules posted by Anet and they have a clause in there that says if you report excessively false reports they can and most likely will ban you.

I assume if you are reporting accurately and the claims are true or as true as you believe them to be at the time of the report than I don’t see why they would ban you.

BTW what do you guys choose as a reason when reporting gold sellers? I realize I’ve been choosing “scamming” but it may not be the most appropriate … ?

It’s possible that those people might scam someone but we don’t know that. What we do know is that they’re definitely spamming, so that’s the appropriate report.

Having reported the same person multiple times over the last six hours, and seeing his spam still coming up, I can understand why so many have just switched off /map.

Once you’ve submitted the report, just add them to your block list.

I started with “scamming”, but then changed to “spamming” as it seemed more appropriate.
I think either one works well though. It’s both scamming and spamming in my eyes.

And OP: I also report every gold seller i see in chat. I can’t think that ANet would see it negatively that people are reporting gold sellers, even if it is very frequently. So no need to worry I say, as long as the reports are appropriate.

The funny thing is, when you report, it actually says if you report too many thats breakign the rules.

What if it cant be proven?

It also says so in the report window in-game, in bright red text.

But yeah, as long as you’re not submitting false reports I don’t see why you’d be banned for sheer volume of reports.
