Besides using the in-game reporting system, I would like to know exactly what it is that I can do to report this issue. I have screenshots and the account name of the person in question. A player has made a threat towards my person, how will this be dealt with. If I post the screenshots on here or list the person in question’s name will I be reprimanded? I want something done about this. This is no joke and it is something I should not have to tolerate.

I don’t think reporting it here will do you any good. Right click-report, then right click – block.

Reporting the player in game should be enough. If you feel the need to take any additional action, click on the Support link at the top of the page (between Forums and Wiki above the dragon’s head).

I guess it depends on the nature of the threat.

Sometimes this things end up real bad (we all read the newspapers) and some other times people give too much attention to a 12 year old playing cool with his friend on the chair next to him.

I mean,… I don’t think your account name has your street address so I guess it would just be a harassment and not a real threat.

Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.

I know for a fact that if he’s threatening to kill you, you can take legal action against him….but I don’t think its necessary……

Block him, as he won’t be able to contact you from any of his characters. That will solve the issue unless he has some other way of contacting you.

ANet is extremely strict about that kind of behavior. Put in a ticket here, use Violation Report from the drop down box:

You can file a police report with your local police department so they can contact Anet to gets players address then take necessary action. Before anyone laughs you can get in trouble for harassment or from threats made through video games over the Itnernet. Yes it’s a crime!!

Report – block – forget is the standard procedure. You can also use the website support and I think you can attach the screenshots there.

Posting screenshots here will just get your thread deleted by a moderator and your account infracted (which doesn’t do anything really unless you’re infracted a lot), because naming and shaming is against the ToS in all MMO forums I’ve visited, including this one, because otherwise it would be too easy to ruin someone’s reputation by photoshoping a screenshot.

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.
