Guild Wars 2

Today I was doing Honor of the Waves explorable with a group, and as usual everything went without a hitch. Bosses were slaughtered, treasure was acquired, thanks all around were given. Someone in our group asked if any of us wanted to do more paths, to which I and another person said we would be happy to go again. I find more people to fill the empty spots, and we are about to enter the dungeon, when one of the people from the group that I had just finished doing the previous path with, says that I need to leave. I asked why? She said “If you don’t have a warrior, leave.” Our group now was composed solely of guardians and warriors with the exception of me. I said “I don’t need to be a warrior to do the other paths.” I had just done a flawless run with her (and have done all paths in HotW multiple times without any problems on the same character, I might add) but she still apparently felt that I needed to go. Without any further comment, she and the rest of the group kicked me out of the party.

I was polite, the previous path went quickly and smoothly. I went down a couple of times, but that was all. Never got defeated or anything. There was no other justification for her to kick me other than the fact that I wasn’t playing a warrior. I don’t join groups that specifically say they won’t allow certain professions in their group, even if I am not said profession. There were no such requirements for the previous group, and they had no problem with me doing the previous path with them, it almost doesn’t make sense.

So here is my question: Can you report someone for doing this? And if it is a reportable offense, what do you report it as? There isn’t really a good option under the report section, verbal abuse wouldn’t work because they weren’t cussing or name-calling or anything like that. If there was an option for “griefing”, that’s what I would have selected.

The only good thing is, I immediately found 2 other nice groups to do the other paths of the dungeon with, and both of those runs went just fine.

For that specific scenario I would say no. If the kick was something like after you have gone partly through the next path then that would be a different story.

Their actions are still extremely rude but there isn’t really much else to be said about it.

Well, it wasn’t nice, but they didn’t kick you after you were already half-way through, so I wouldn’t say it rises to the level of reporting them. Someone not wanting you in their group is not griefing. Make a note to yourself and just don’t group with them in the future. If they treat enough folks badly, they’ll be sitting around trying to fill up their group while you’re doing run after run with the other nice groups you’ve found.

I’d also note their guild (for yourself) – folks like that tend to run in packs.

Gotcha, so it would have been reportable only if I got kicked at halfway or more through the dungeon or something. I’ve already blocked that person right after it happened, so that should mean I can safely avoid grouping with her in the future. I didn’t catch her guild though. Thanks for the speedy responses!

no you cant report someone for elitism . it is likely however they planned on using some sort of exploit for whatever path they were going to do next.

Unfortunately being a elite kitten isn’t reportable, It should be!
I’ve done HotW hundreds of times and never seen anyone asking for specific builds/classes :/

that was extremely rude of them. I would just block them to never run with them ever again.

Well, at least they have done this before you guys were in, so there wasn’t really an actual harm done, besides the emotional part.

is this your first time dealing with online game elitism?
