Guild Wars 2

So far I know some players got banned just because they had been reported by someone unhappy with them.

Although these players actually never do something wrong (which listed in the report reason list in game), so they can take back there game account within few days, the improper use of game report system actually make them trouble and waste a lot of time.

I just want to know, will ANet keep the reporter list, so they can sort out who reported the innocent a lot (e.g. >50% reported are innocent), and give these improper user an alert? Or some proper punish? Or indicated he / she as untrusted reported?

You’re not going to find any answer here. First, we have no knowledge of who is right or wrong. We have no knowledge of the situation other than hearsay. And customer service or the devs aren’t going to come into this thread and make judgments on what happened in a specific instance….so I’m not sure what the point if this post is.

Be nice to people that play the game and you won’t have to worry about it. If someone is mean to another player for no reason they deserve a ban IMO. I think a lot of these nasty players have left that other old game that has such nonexistent monitoring and thought they could come here and to other games and act like that.

This isn’t Blizzard and I can’t think of any other mmo that allows the behavior they allow.

If you want a sample of what people get reported and banned for try this thread.

Avoid the sort if things they did and you perfectly safe.
It’s actually pretty clear cut and simple
1) don’t cuss other people out or make offensive remarks in chat. You know what type of remarks. What you wouldn’t say in public if you have any common sense.
2) don’t make offensive names
3) don’t grief other players

What’s especially amusing about the thread is how many claim they are innocent, right until the Dev says why they were banned.

Banning doesn’t automatically happen because of a report. Logs are examined and if they agree with the report and the violation is severe enough only then the ban hammers come out.

No group of players can virtually “swat” another player and get them banned. It’s always self inflicted.

To put your mind more at ease, here is an official response on this issue:

Hi everyone,

As the thread provided shows and as said by Gaile, reports are always reviewed and the team takes it very seriously. No ban happens without a reason.

Thanks for your understanding.
