Guild Wars 2

eldrin.6471:

What is your exact problem with using TS? for me its Asperger syndrome but other people will have there own reasons,an example of the problem.in guild wars 2 if you are verbally abused you have the option to report that player.You leave the safty net that the game provides,who do you report abuse on team speak to wile playing guild wars 2?Of course none of you have ever witnessed this sort of abuse but to then claim it does not happen would be absurd.How meany reports a day of in game abuse do anet get? Well in my opinion the typed word does way less damage than the spoken word.There is no control over team speak and to design content that forces players into an environment anet has no control over is wrong

You do the exact same thing with TS as you do in GW2, say “this person has been really abusive to me, I’m not grouping with them,” then leave the group and take off your headset. You’ve just blocked them. Anet’s control doesn’t stop you getting abused verbally in game with typing, just follow the same procedure with the headset on.
Closing TS, taking the headset off, muting the abusive person are all as powerful as rightclick block… Anet being involved is irrelevant.

I just want to correct one thing. ArenaNet has NEVER locked any legendary armor behind using third party software. It’s the community who mostly requires teamspeak, and ArenaNet can’t do a thing about it. The solution? Well, find 9 other people who wants to do raid without TS, they don’t have to be your real life friend =D

And yeah I have no friends who raid with me, so I killed these raid bosses with random people these days.

I can’t wait to see what the balance changes do to raids. You know, the balance changes for PvP that will affect raids. 3+ years I’ve been asking for skill splits. Instead we keep getting new modes that need their own balance. Nothing wrong with getting new stuff. It’s very welcome, but in this case it’s gonna throw some gunk in the works.
