Guild Wars 2

In WvW enemy players have just a circle above their head instead of a name.

Why cant we just delete all the player names and guild names and just have the class represented so that players can not whisper individuals to throw or realize they are on a team with their buddies and all hop in discord together or throw and crap.

Just change the names for chat to “Ranger 1”, “Necromancer 2”.

Also why is whispering the enemy team even allowed in ranked?

I think this would cut down on people bad mouthing a particular player or throwing because they see their mortal enemy on their team or throwing because they want a top 10 player’s duo queue to lose.

Thoughts?

I like any idea that attempts to fix the cancerous manipulators.
I think your idea might fix the lazy manipulators, but if a bunch of them are on vent/teamspeak/Discord it wont do much.

they wil have to remove all emotes, leaving respawn before start etc etc
if not cheaters can make some sort of signal of selfreconaissance such as meeting in mid and salute before match starts and all will continue equal or worse ( players cant track easily cheaters cuz the generic names)

I like where this discussion is heading.

I believe by sterilizing the player names players will not be able to have biases against other players for their plays or behavior in previous matches. This will mean all badmouthing/throwing will remain in the game in question and everyone will get a clean slate when entering the next game.

Imagine that, competetive pvp getting back to the brass tacks of teamcomp versus teamcomp and strategy.

Yes, smart players will still be able to figure out potentially who people still are by titles and outfits. Also what you mentioned megilandil by player behavior. I am not sure all distinctive markings can be sterilized but it will then force the naughty players to put in more effort to continue these practices and the less capable naughty players will no longer be able to continue with this unsportsman like conduct.

Removing players ability to whisper in game may prevent collusion and by removing player names it will make it harder for cheaters to coordinate against others.

Also I do not think there is any point in “tracking cheaters”, we have a tool to track cheaters its called the report tool. Let arenanet deal with it.

To be honest, I will throw a match when teamchat has become very toxic. I’ll just afk in the base. That’s my personal protest against harassment because anet doesn’t seem to be taking a stance against it.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day. No one cares about your protest/message.
Your not a victim, nor are you any more special than any other player.

I didn’t say I was special. I actually wish it would become more common. I wish everyone who were being harassed in a match would just go idle. Maybe the toxic culture would change. people would think twice about harassing other players cause it would certainly guarantee a loss being down a player. And if i saw someone sitting out a game cause they were being harassed, i wouldn’t knock them for it. I don’t think anyone should have to finish a match with people that are being nasty toward them.

I’m not sure you understand your enemy. manipulators, cheaters, whatever you want to call them takes pleasure in your misery. Not playing both makes your opponents win and frustrates your team mates (causing more enjoyment for your enemy). Its like a win, win, win for manipulators.
