Guild Wars 2

So since the feature build I’ve been getting huge amounts of gold selling bots whispering me telling me to go buy their nonsense while I’m standing in hotm.

At first I would report each one as soon as it happened, but i’ve just got 10 or so spam whispers in the past half hour.

My question is this, will reporting all of these pests as they spam me result in my account getting banned for report function abuse? Since in the first guildwars, sending a report against a player would also put a mark against your name.

If it would be a “mark”, then only a positive one

You’re not reporting players, you’re reporting bots from hacked accounts which are a direct threat to ANet’s money making (=survival) policy. There’s just no point in punishing you for being a loyal user.
