Some flaws
Language filter, why have a language filter if swearing is punishable by ban/suspension?
The language filter isn’t a flaw. The flaw resides with the players that think it gives them a license to say what ever they want in chat. Most of the people I have seen get suspensions involved much more than saying, “Oh kitten!” every now and then. Many people are not offended by basic curse words. If they are used in a manner that is purposely offensive, used in a sexual manner, racist, or threatening then that is when more people start to get offended and the perpetrator usually gets a 72 hour vacation.
Increase your resolution.
Language filters don’t catch everything.
You don’t have to run a dungeon with exploiters.

Whatever about the language filter, least important.

Oh and show me a server and a guild that runs dungeons for the content, instead of just for the farm.
Just go to gw2lfg, and type in what kind of party you want for the dungeon you want. Overarching meta doesn’t apply to individuals in pve in gw2
Ah the age old, why should people be banned for swearing when there is a filter?
Probably because there is a huge cyber bulling problem going on where people are committing suicide or suffer permanent psychological damage. You don’t have to be intelligent to find out what someone is saying after it is censored.
There is absolutely NO reason for anyone to swear, period. You can communicate without them.
If you can communicate without using taboo words, you can cyber-bully without them too. Verbal abuse can exist without them. Word filters are a blunt tool.
Carrots are good for you!!!
For donkeys, who are blindly led from carrot to carrot without the ability to know any better, yes, they are great.
For human beings, who are not so easily decived, not so much.

And I imagine that players that do such things while excluding cursing end up with 72 hour vacations as well.
People swear on Sea of Sorrows all the time, no one gets in trouble, i think you people are overreacting, it is full of Aussies though and swearing is quite integrated into our language here so maybe Anet looks the other way haha

No one is overreacting. People are trying to explain why the language filter doesn’t mean people can say what ever they want. I see a fair amount of cursing on my server as well but from what I have seen it is the context that gets people in trouble or the volume. It’s one thing to say (I’m actually typing kitten for this example) “Oh kitten I just fell again” and another to use similar words as a means to insult, degrade, or use them in a sexual nature. Also I think one is more likely to get flagged if they are just cursing for the sake of cursing (curse spam), “kitten kitten kitten that piece of kitten kitten kitten can kitten kitten kitten.”
In your case most of the cursing is probably tolerated a bit more due to the players on your server apparently not minding casual cursing. I would be willing to bet though that many people on your server have served a few 72 hour vacations as well. If anything maybe your server will have a few more eyes on it after your post.
Of all the OP’s complaints, I think the reward one is the only one with actual merit. The rest of the complaints are misplaced. Since people have already dealt with the filter and Interface, I’ll weigh in on the Living Story.
The Living Story is something SOME people rush to complete. It’s also somethign SOME people really enjoy and take their time with.
If you’re just going to Dulfy’s site and burning through the content to get achievements, you’re pretty much missing the point.
