Guild Wars 2

This has been going on for a while but here is the problem I am noticing.

I have been helping out new players and vet players a lot. I’ve made friends with them, check up on them, and even socialize with them from time-to-time.

Next thing that happens: An unexpected “This player is Not Online” appears when trying to contact some of them on whisper. I try to Mail them a message and then I get an Error saying “This player has blocked you”

Seriously?
Last time I checked, I have NOT had any conflicts with any of my friends.

Not only does this confuse me, but it makes me wonder if this could be an actual Bug that needs to be gone asap. If it’s Not, then people in this community just like to use/abuse others for no reason and that really pisses me off.

I’m tierd of this Bug OR People abusing the Block feature.
Block players who are being jerks to you, Not players who are putting time and effort into helping you out of kindness.

Well I’m new to the game and can promise you that if we’re on the same server and if you want to help me, I’ll be your friend <3

Not a bug. Some may just not want your “help”?

Honestly, I doubt that’s the case considering majority did ask for my help.
But there was times I also just offered.

Either way, if that’s the case, that’s extremely being RUDE.
Breaking a friendship to someone who put time and effort in helping out is wrong.

Truly people like me who help others DONT deserve being blocked or treated this way. Considering there was No conflicts established. Makes no sense.

Anyways, it’s hard to tell who’s a friend and who’s a backstabbing leach now a days.
Anyone else experience this? Im quite Social btw so not sure if that has to do with anything.

I get the feeling there is more to this story then we are led to believe. Could be intentional, or simply obliviousness. People have the right to revoke contact if they feel annoyed. There are some irritating people out there and quite frankly, we should be aloud to choose who we talk to. Perhaps you were a little overly aggressive in how you communicated with these people? If a good number of people choose to cut off contact with you, perhaps it isn’t them that is the problem, it’s you?

Perhaps, but wouldnt it be better to at least know?
I mean it would be a lot nicer to know exactly what the issue is in the 1st place.

Thanks for the reply.

Since we don’t know the full details, it’s impossible to say what the issue is, however since you have been blocked repeatedly, that suggests that you move past people’s comfort zone. That although they asked for help at that time, it was a one time deal for them and they did not wish to continue contact. If you continued to contact people who were only expecting a one time conversation with you, you make be coming across to them like a stalker. If that is the impression they are getting, then they are going to block you.

It would be nice. Sadly, that’s not how most people respond to negativity. If someone is being obnoxious in public, chances are most bystanders are just going to avoid eye contact and act like that person isn’t even there. We are a shy lot, and often choose to cover our eyes and ears rather then deal with the problems at hand.

I apologize if you took offense. It isn’t my place to judge someone I have never met.

OP, please explain me how is blocking someone I do not wish to talk to an abuse of /block ?

If they blocked you it means they had a reason. Simple as that. Maybe they didn’t want your help, were annoyed by you, you kept pestering them or just didn’t like your way of being.

They have the right to block you for whatever reason even for the fun of it and it’s still not an abuse because that is their right.

Ever thought your “help” is not seen as help by them? That it may annoy them or they just don’t care about what you have to say ?
