Feb 20, 2015, around 7:10 P.M, I joined a group of lvl50 Fractals from the LFG tool and played along with them.

Until 2nd stage/map, we were killing the 4 champions (rabbit, verteran bomber, shaman, and ettin) and they kicked me out out of blue. I asked one of them.

To *: Why Kick me out for?
From *
: your bad
To *: how?
From *
: cuz

That was the end of conversation. They didn’t even tell me how I was bad even though I was doing so well. It was like they were phishing me by using my time and kick me out.

The guardian, Warrior, and the elementalist A LOT, only me (Theif) and the Ranger were the ones not dead, rezzed and kited.

I only reported 2 players for scamming because I believe they know each other. Did they violate any Terms and conditions? I would be really appreciated if you could help me out what I should be doing for this situation.

Two problems:

- You will get in trouble for naming and shaming. Edit out the names asap.

- Phishing involves tricking someone into giving up account information. Nasty as random kicking is after someone’s helped you through a fractal, it’s got not one thing to do with phishing.

Now as to whether they can get in trouble, who knows? But you should submit this to Support, not the forums, if you think this violated the code of conduct in any way.

(I do think it’s reprehensible behavior, at least as you described it; you’ve just gone about addressing it in a most unfortunate manner).

I see, I didn’t know that. I edited it out, thank you Donari.

That’s not what phishing is. Maybe you meant to use the word “trolling” or “scamming”. And there’s nothing you can do other than what you already did (report them in-game). If you have any screen shots, you could put in a support ticket about the players who did this.

In a sort of sense it is a scam. Kind of. They used you for their advantage and kick you right near the end so you get nothing out of it. I would not be too happy either if I were you. Something similar has also happened to me in dungeons, though.
