Guild Wars 2

Hi Anet team.

Something is really boring a lot of players including me recently. In the events such as LA, a lot have been hiding around afk’ing in order to get free loot, and that make the event harder to players really making the event. I think you know about that because of the tons of threads about it.

But its not only on there. On PVP, TPVP, World Bosses, LS events, Some Dungeon runs, FOTM, Activities, and such a lot of other contents this keep happening.

I’ve just got out of a TPVP match where a guy was just sat afk while the rest of team was working hard. We lost from 500x 460. I mean.. we probably would had won if we don’t got that afker.

But if we Try to report him, we can’t! Because dont have any right report option, and false report can make the reporter be punished.

I know that PVP and activities have the kick option after some time away, but its too easy to a player glitch it.

Can you put an appropriate Report option to players breaking game mechanics, and also disturbing other players game?

Thank for your compreesion, and sorry for my bad english

you can send screenshots to the customer support or exploits@arena.net

I have to play devil’s advocate here.

Some people have to really go away just for 30 seconds – 1 minute because of something happening in real life. These things include getting a important phone call about work, spilling drinks all over the keyboard, a child needs attention, or something else.

I once had to afk in just a PvP match for two minutes because I tipped over my water and had to get it cleaned up and switch chairs. Water was dangerously close (on the carpet) to my computer so I just ignored the game and get a towel/moved my pc a little. Came back with two hate mails saying I made their team lose, how I was this and that, and how I was reported for botting.

They were in the same guild and this happened about seven months ago but still, some people just have to afk for unknown reasons and giving players the option to report afk is too much power and will annoy the devs in the report areas.

Yeah, I know that have case and cases.

But in some cases (Most likely the ones that the player look for a Corner to hide) its too much visible the bad intention of ht eplayer.

Into the PVP match I’ve mentioned, that player has got to the far corner (Where no one goes), and just sat down there. The whole match. Is just such a crap that my team couldn’t report him due to a lack of report option for the case.

The Devs have said you can use ‘Botting’ to report AFK players, in the past. Regardless of the selection, it will be investigated.

You can also send a report (including pictures, explanations, etc.) into CS using the appropriate page-site.

You can send a ticket, an in-game reporting like LoL will just cause even more expoilting and fasle reports.
