Right now in the TC/Kain/BG Eternal Battlegrounds jumping puzzle, there’s a thief on Kaineng teleporting around (up and down levels).
Knocking people off levels and teleporting down to kill them when they’re wounded.

I managed to right click on them and report when he was fighting, but didn’t know what to report it as. I chose botting, but it was pretty obviously a live player. Scamming?

Another Kainenger from [GANK] was using a ranger exploit to knock people off ledges. How do we report this?

One thing that troubles me about reporting as bots is that I expect it to take x number of reports before it is flagged as a problematic account. This case won’t get lots of reports. I would write a ticket but since we don’t get accounts names when we report, nor add friends, I can’t take the effort to escalate it.

We are willing to help you rid your game of these people, but you have to give us some tools!

Sounds like [GANK] is an appropriate tag.

I’m pretty sure ANet is against ganking of any sort, though what I am not sure of is where they draw the line between ganking and competitive play. Because if you’re on a JP in WvW, you have to expect that players from opposing servers will attack you. Just because it’s frustrating to the “victim” doesn’t make it reportable. It’s kind of poor sportsmanship to get your jollies from yanking uninvolved players from walls, because you can clearly see they’re just there for the JP – but they’re in the JP in a PvP setting, so they should expect it.
You can try reporting it as ganking, if that’s even one of the offenses, but I’m of the opinion that what you’re describing is really not a reportable offense.

On a slight tangent I agree that the report options are lacking, I mean there’s verbal abuse but unless you take it as abuse of the chat feature there’s a lot of reportable conversations that wouldn’t fall under what most people consider verbal abuse.

Just feel like that whole thing would be more effective if people could put in some text of what was going on (ie like we do on the forums) if nothing else it helps whoever is looking at it to know why the report happened.

Let us buy vendor mats (eg spools of thread) in 250 stacks, end the excessive clicking.

No, i’m not reporting for that reason, I’m reporting because of an exploit they were using. I don’t want to give specifics.

How are you qualifying it as an exploit, though?
Is it a skill that is working in a way that it should not be able to – or are they just creatively using a skill within its description’s parameters?

If it’s a bug in the skill, I would suggest bringing up in the bugs forum as well (or sending in a ticket, if you don’t want people to learn about this exploit).

On top of this we need a griefing report option. Like people that afk at collection DEs trying to make them take longer for others.
